Retired General Appointee Dinner

Recently, Debra and I hosted a dinner for the retired General Appointees (those living in Tennessee) at the Holiday Inn in Cleveland, Tennessee. This was a special celebration to honor those who are now retired, but have given so many years to the work of the Church of God of Prophecy.

An amazing thought to me is that some in the room that night have known and worked with all of our General Overseers, namely, A.J. Tomlinson, M.A. Tomlinson, Billy Murry, Fred Fisher and Randall Howard.

We were honored to have Bishop Randall Howard, our current General Overseer and his wife Bess and their son Brett. Dwight Richardson favored us with a special selection and each of the former appointees were given a nice gift, great meal and a DVD copy of the video presentation we put together honoring them...in fact, in this DVD, their own pictures appeared when they were younger.

Special thanks to Londa Richardson, Dwight Richardson, Debra McKinley, Shaun and Stephanie McKinley for helping make the night so special, and thanks to the State Finance and Stewardship Committee for supporting the event.

Prayer Request

Yesterday and today have been filled with non-stop preparations and meetings for the General Assembly. The State/National Overseers will be traveling to begin meeting this week in Nashville. Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. This precious lady and her family need our prayer support, and I hope you will join me in prayer for them, believing the Lord is able to meet their need.

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
