Reunion Still a Possibility
We wanted to pass along some info to all of our RT friends:
1. Melvin Synder is the man who put together the DVD presentation that was shown at Brother Mac's funeral. He can be reached at rsynder@ag.org. He may know more about audio or video tapes of the actual funeral.
FYI: Steve directed the alumni choir and Bruce played "The Holy City' on his dad's violin. (Many rated it a 2 K Box funeral.)
2. We are still planning a Reunion for all of the RT alumni to attend ahead of GC this year. George and Cheryl Cope have reserved the main GC hotel for Monday August 3. It is an early afternoon event. (Exact details to follow.)
3. If you are planning to attend, we would like to know ahead of time to make better plans. We hope to be able to show the DVD that was shown at the funeral and share memories of Brother Mac and RT tours of yesterday. Your stories and memories are important for all of us to hear!
Please let us know your thoughts on continuing with our RT Reunion plans.
Blessings,
T&J
P.S. Pictures of the Alumni Choir from the funeral will be posted soon.
PPSS ... Sorry for the slow process - after the funeral our computer caught a virus. (Achew!)

Faith Heroe Graduates!
I have many people who have influenced my life. I am thankful to God for each one.
But today, I want to thank God for allowing me the priviledge of being a tenor in Revivaltime Choir. We were all so blessed to be able to minister while we were in Central Bible College. RT made that happen and Brother Cyril McLellan was always at the helm. He has just passed away - funeral to be held on Tuesday, May 27th at 11:00 AM. Jan & I just arrived in Springfield today (Monday) to be able to attend.
His style of ministry and desire to glorify God came through every arrangement and every broadcast. RT was heard on over 600 ABC radio stations - "Across the Nation and Around the World" (that is just one of the sound bites by narrator Lee Shultz.)
There are over 800 choir members around the world who were influenced by Brother Mac. He made serving God fun while letting us know that quality was never to be sacrificed.
We know that thousands of lives were being changed at that long, long altar. At every concert and every broadcast we were always instructed that eternity was in the balance. And there was always Room at the Cross for another broken heart to be healed, another life to be forgiven.
And while all of that was going on over the radio waves, God was placing part of Brother Mac's heart into each of ours.
Cyril McLellan, "Brother Mac" always loved always remembered.

Denise Power Update
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:
2124 S. Brighton Dr.
Springfield, MO 65804

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
