From the Pastor

       Ahoy! We are having a swashbuckling good time in VBS. It was a great start last night. Energy levels are sky high. You can just imagine how much work it takes to have a VBS. Susan Frazier, Maria Arrowood, and Loree Anderson have put together a wonderful week. Thank all of you who have helped them to get ready and are now making it happen!

     It was a great day all the way around to be at McGill this Sunday. Our youth communicated so very well how much the mission trip to Arkansas meant to them. As we celebrate Communion we are always reminded that the church is far beyond our walls. Of course having an “ocean” as a backdrop never hurts. The image of Steve Harrill singing beside a pelican is as they say, “priceless!”

     And speaking of priceless, it was good to see the tomatoes being shared from the garden. I know there are going to be some happy folks this week eating ‘mater sandwiches. To use another cliché, “it doesn’t get any better than that!” I can attest that there is nothing better than a tomato sandwich, well, one things might be better, if you add a fresh ear of corn to have with it. Oh, how wonderful summer is.

     This Sunday we will ponder about what are the things that we treasure in our lives. So your homework (yep, homework even in the summertime) is think about what is in your life that you appreciate, what is it that has brought you happiness, what treasures do you have and how are you using them. Well, you might say this becomes food for thought! See you Sunday!

        Vacation Bible School got off to a great start this past Sunday evening with 61 children attending. It was fun to watch the children come into the sanctuary Sunday morning to see the chancel transformed into a sailing ship! I also think this was the first time I have led congregational hymns standing beside a pelican. We had a wonderful time of worship and communion this past Sunday. Thanks to our youth and leaders for sharing their mission experiences.

     The hot sweltering days of summer are here. I thank God for the refreshing showers. Although they have been scattered lately, they have provided a respite for the oppressing heat we experienced over the past weekend. I also am thankful for a cool comfortable choir room on Wednesday evenings. Our choir will not meet this Wednesday due to Bible School. We will resume our regular rehearsals in our cool comfortable choir room on August 4th at 7:00 pm. Come and join us!

Molly’s Message

     Many heartfelt thanks from me to my McGill family. I was so overwhelmed with gratitude on Sunday. I can't believe that the past year and a half has literally flown by and is already over. I can't begin to express how fortunate I feel to have spent time with this special church! God truly has his hand in all that McGill does.

      A special thank you to all the Youth who have enthusiastically endured my craziness during my time with you. Your pure love for the Lord is so inspiring to me. Keep up the good work at McGill. 

     You are the future of McGill.
     Thanks again for the support, encouragement, and prayers that you have provided during my time with you. I pray many blessings on each of you!

        We have begun the process of electing the Class of 2013 deacons. These seven will serve a three year term. This past Sunday, Deacon Nominating Forms were handed out. They will be available all week and will be taken up during worship on July 25th. The Deacon Nominating Committee (Brian Arrowood, Chair; Pat Mantooth, Bud Sanders, Miles Simpson and Donna Smith) will take these nominations and will work through them to present a slate for election. The ideal image of a

deacon is that of servant leader. We are fortunate at McGill to have had and do have so many women and men who serve so faithfully and tirelessly. To be a deacon is a great honor and a greater responsibility. During this week I hope that you will ponder deeply and pray greatly about whom we should elect.

     As I pointed out on Sunday, please do not nominate any of the people who are currently serving. They are not eligible. After serving a three year term, a deacon is not eligible for reelection for one year. These are our current deacons:

 

Class of 2010 Class of 2011 Class of 2012

Brian Arrowood Bruce Arrowood Loree Anderson

Roger Condrey Ronald Barnes Kevin Fitch

Robert Kluttz Jody Edwards Phillip Herndon

Dan Philbeck Johnnie Eudy Danny Kirkman

Bud Sanders Darryl Jefferson Kim Lyda

Miles Simpson David Layton Allen Scott

Winfry Whicker Wanda Ritchie Harold Wright

     It was so good to hear from our mission team this past Sunday. How wonderful it was that our team had such a range of ages. I can’t wait to hear more and see all the pictures. Don’t forget VBS is on the way. Be surprised to see a transformed worship center this week!! Avast ye mateys!

       We were certainly blessed last Sunday evening in a wonderful concert presented by the Piedmont Singing Men.  I would like to thank Randy Childers and the choir for such an inspiring evening. Kudos to our own Bob Fisher for being such an active member of this group. I would also like to thank our choir and everyone involved in putting together the reception following the concert. We fed a large crowd and I don’t believe anyone went away hungry.  It was a very enjoyable summer evening!

     Bible school starts this Sunday evening. Music is always a big part of Bible School and this year is no exception. We have songs and activities planned for our “High Seas Adventure” that I’m sure our children will enjoy. McGill Baptist has fabulous leaders and workers that go to great lengths to make sure Bible School is a very special event for our children. I look forward to seeing a large group next week as we begin our “High Seas Adventure”.
