CHURCH ACTIVITY

Our Church’s Superstar Lois McGill

Lois is our Superstar member of the month and rightly deserves to be recognized. Where does she get that ongoing energy to do all the things she does for our church? Talk about a devoted and very active member! Lois is currently an Elder on Session with her second 6-year term ending at the end of this 2021 year. She had been an Elder once before for 6-years too with only one year in-between. She has been a member of this church for 15 years. To put that in perspective, she has been an active Elder on the Church’s Board for 12 of the 15 years. She now heads the Nurturing/Care Committee, along with doing one of the most important jobs for our church and that is Clerk of Session. 

Lois overseas so much with our church. Along with communicating with all the members, the Pastor, the Elders on the Board, Presbytery, whoever for whatever reason, Lois gets it done. She has stepped in and helped when needed, such as setting up the communion table or working in the office.  She will eventually, after some training, be Beth’s replacement for the videoing of our service when Beth goes on vacation for example. I can go on and on with other examples of what this lady does for our church. There’s too many to list. She does a lot and that’s an understatement! Here’s another person who I can say “What would we do without Lois?” 

Lois and her husband Tom have been married for 40 years. Tom who is a retired CPA, is our accountant who does the financial statements and budgets for our church. They at times work together, so here again is an example of Lois being part of a team on another very important aspect of running this church, the finances. 

Thank you, Lois, for your time and devotion to our church in all you do. Your actions show how much you love and care for BRPC. We certainly appreciate you, more than words can say. 

Tell Lois “Thank You” when you see her “zooming” around the building or drop her a note. And thank you God for placing her within our walls of worship.

BRPC May's Mission project is to sponsor our own Rev. Bruce & his wife Cindy for the "Walk for Hope".  This is an annual event to raise funds for the Youth Life Ministry. If you wish to see the video that was played at the beginning of the May 9th church service, accessible on this website, that is a good way to get a better understanding of why we are supporting this organization. Total contributions will go directly to the Ministry which helps children in every country. Let us, as the giving church we are known as, support our own minister and his wife, who are doing this special Missions work.  And anyone else too that wants to help to do God's work and help the children of the world, this is one of the ways to do just that.   Please make your check out to the church and write "Walk for Hope" on the memo line. Thank you! 

Thank you all so very much for your continued support of your Mission Team's projects. As a whole, we can still call ourselves the "The Small but Mighty Church" because of your generous hearts and God's Blessings bestowed upon us in so many ways as a Church family.  Pam Tuohey/Mission Team Leader
