Dear Arrowhead Church Family;

Bro. Claude McMahan went home to be with The Lord this evening around 6pm. Another hero of the faith has gone home! Bro. Claude served his family as a godly example and he did it well! He also served our church for over 50 years as a deacon, charter member, and faithful servant.

As soon as arrangements are complete I will notify you immediately. Please join with me in praying for all the family and also over the next few days reflecting on the life of honor and dignity this great man of God lived before us.

May God Bless You,

Bro. Terry

Previously, this group had met under the direction of Cliff Anderson in a part of the Peerless Road Complex.

Pastor Cliff Anderson felt the need of a change and Pastor Tim Coalter was appointed to serve in another ministry. At this time Omar Velazquez agreed to assume the leadership of th...
