I have been trying to reach all of the former RT members and let them know about Brother Mac's funeral. I hope that you will help me get the word out.
In the process, I found out that Denise Power just had knee surgery and will be unable to be at the funeral.
FYI: For those who might not remember - in my opinion, Denise was our best lady soloist!
If you want to send her a get well card, here is her address:

Calling All Choir Members!
We have been asked by the McLellan family to sing at Brother Mac's funeral.
We have already enlisted the help of Kasi Jones and Dave Weston to help us with the keyboards, thanks guys for your help!
Now we need Sopranos, Altos, Tenors and Basses. Steve McLellan has even set up a rehearsal time for us at the Central A/G choir room 9:30 AM on Tuesday - just like Brother Mac getting us to practice again!
(Our thanks to Tom Matrone for allowing us to use the facilities.)
Oh and the songs we are requested to sing are:
All Hail the Power and Room at the Cross.
Do you remember your part?
Do you remember the words?
(I sure can't fit in my old RT suit!)
We need you! If you are planning to attend please help us with the choir one more time.
Let us know your plans and we'll make room for you.
Blessings,
Tom & Jan Bougher

Hours and Minutes? We know that Heaven is just ahead.
Steve McLellan just informed us that Hospice has moved Brother Mac to the Critical Care Center in Maranatha. Please keep praying for the family in these difficult moments. We are so blessed to know that our Redeemer lives and death has no victory.
Father - We release Brother Mac into your hands. He has served you here on this side with great honor and we have been privileged to serve along side him.
Our hearts are filled with so many memories of lives changed and churches rejoicing as the bus pulled away after a wonderful service. We have all been a part of a unique ministry that truly affected and changed us. Brother Mac shaped our lives through his service.
We can only thank you for the time we were allowed to sing in the choirs that he led. And should those 10,000 years have time for some choirs to sing, we'd like to put in a special request for Brother Mac to lead another Reunion RT choir to sing "All Hail the Power" .... just one more time. FYI: Brother Beam will tell you just how long that will take. And remind Brother Ward that we won't need any preaching. Just have him tell a story or two.
Oh and should you have another moment to spare, Brother Mac plays a really great arrangement of "The Holy City" on his violin. (But before you let him play, tell him he has to "try out" for King David first!)
Now we pray for Miss Beth, Steve, Bruce and their families. Death is never easy for us. We are so grateful to know that you sent the Comforter and He truly comforts us through these hours.
Holy Spirit we invite you to surround the McLellans in your love and peace. And fill their minds and hearts with the good times of yesterday and the eternal hope for tomorrow.
We thank you for the Hope of Glory that you have placed in our hearts.
We look forward to the great RT Reunion that you have planned.
And ...what a day that will be, the moment we cast our crowns at your feet, and "Crown You Lord of All!"

RT 911 - Pray for Brother Mac!
I just received word through Kasi Jones about Brother Mac. I called and talked with both Brother and Sister McLellan. He is not doing well. The doctors do not know what else to do. Hospice has been notified. It is time to ask God for a supernatural miracle for Brother Mac! Please be in prayer for him. We will keep you posted as to any updates. His voice is weak but his spirit is still strong. And our God is ABLE.
God ... We ask you to touch Brother Mac and perform a creative miracle in his life. We have all experienced your healing power and we know that YOU are the creator. We ask in the name above every name, the name of JESUS for his complete healing. We ask for a new report, one with your signature attached. It was with your blood we were redeemed and by your stripes we are healed. We claim that for Brother Mac. Amen
