Synergy Conference

As I write today, I am in Atlanta, Georgia where I've been taking part in a "Synergy" conference hosted at the Mt. Paran Church of God. The conference is well attended by people across denominational lines, and there is a great representation pastors and overseers from the Church of God of Prophecy.

Our General Overseer and North American Presbyter met with the State/Regional Overseers in attendance yesterday, and we had a wonderful time of dialogue and looking forward to the future of our movement. We are all convinced that the best days are yet to come, as reports of new conversions, baptisms, new church plants and new members being added to the church keep coming in.

We have wonderful hard-working ministers and laity in this movement of God, and we are looking forward with anticipation.

I will be leaving and driving to our campground for our annual Ministerial Development Intensive this Friday and Saturday. It appears that our attendance is going to be well beyond last year's attendance, and there is a sense of excitement about what God is doing! We hope to see you there.

Death Notice - Clara McMahan

I AM SHARING A NOTICE I JUST RECEIVED FROM PASTOR TERRY BARNWELL (KNOXVILLE- ARROWHEAD) Hi Brother; I pray your day is going along well. I wanted to let you know of the passing of Sister Clara McMahan this morning. Her husband Claude has served as deacon for over 52 years at the Arrowhead church. This wonderful lady has touched thousands of lives across Tennessee. She is the sister of Charlie Weaver. The day you and Sister McKinley were with us on the Home Coming Sunday if you remember the youth presented this couple with a light house they had built for them. Sister Clara will be greatly missed greatly. I will let you know the arrangements when I get them if you wished to attend the services. If your schedule will not permit I understand, but I just wanted you to know. Love you and have a blessed day; Bro. Terry
