Here's an Update from Steve McLellan

Hi Tom,
Hope you are enjoying your new home in Missouri!

About a month ago the Iowa District asked me to do the worship for their senior adult ministry retreat. This year is dedicated to dad and his work with Revivaltime. Do you know any former members in the region that would be interested in singing with us on Friday, Oct 2 at the district Camp? Mom showed me 3 boxes of music dad was saving for his next choir clinic. His music will provide some great songs for the event. Gloria Elliot is coming and it would be awesome to have some former members in the choir.

Saw your blog with the pics from General Council. I am new to blogging so was not sure how to leave a message. I do want to say again , how much we appreciated everyone helping at dad's memorial service. We could not have asked for a moer meaningful service.

Blessings,
Steve McLellan

Okay - calling all the RT choir members in the Iowa region. Head up to Hawkeye Country and help Steve with the SAM retreat.

Memories.

Do YOU remember what this is? (Envelope size: 2 1/2" X 4")

I have been at my new assignment for just about 2 weeks now. I am on the fourth floor of HG, just down the hall from the old Radio Dept.

After being here a while I needed to find some supplies and was informed about the supply closet. There you find the typical office supply things ... and I found a rather large quantity of these small brown envelopes. No one knows why they are in the closet, just that they have been here for a number of years.Hmmmm.

I see, some of your memories are kicking in! We handled these everytime RT went out on the road and the Radio Department supplied us with funds for lunch. Yes, its the RT Lunch envelopes! We would find $.50 or a dollar and we could then splurge on a cheeseburger from McDonalds. Wow, who would have thought that we'd have any of these leftover?

Hey, BTW, I'm needing to raise some funds for my trip to GC. So .... if you want some of these great little envelopes for your scrap book. Send in your offering to PO Box 70, Springfield, MO. And for an extra offering of $10.00, we could have them signed by C.M. Ward!

RT Reunion - August 3rd at The Rosen Centre!

Yes, we are still planning a special time for all RT members to get together and share laughs. It will take place just ahead of General Council on Monday, August 3rd at The Rosen Centre. George and Cheryl Cope will be our hosts for the 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM event. We hope YOU can attend. We will send along more details ASAP. (This will not conflict with the CBC Reunion.)

FYI: Jan & I are in the process of moving to Springfield. I have just been assigned a new position as Adult Resource Consultant for the Discipleship Ministries Agency. I plan to be at General Council, but at this moment don't have a clue about the possibility of being at our RT Reunion. Pray for our house to sell in Madison and our contract to go through on a house here in Springfield! Reach me now through tbougher@ag.org or 417.576.3287 Cell
Blessings,
