From a Pastor’s heart to yours…..
GOODBYE TO MARIANNE
In June 2000, Mrs. Marianne Morfoot was hired to become the
Church secretary under the leadership of Rev. Bill Jackson. Since that time,
Marianne has held faithful to the call to provide administrative services not
only to a total of four Pastors including myself, but she has served the
Church and Locust Grove at large through her smile, cheerful attitude,
service to the poor and her love for the Lord.
A full decade later, ending June 2010, Marianne will complete her 10
years of service to LGUMC and will gracefully dance into retirement. We
thank God for all of the ways that Marianne has blessed us in ministry and
we thank God that while she is retiring from employment, she is not retiring
from Church involvement. Happily, Marianne and Tom will still be here
worshiping with us, serving with us and singing with us for many, many
Thank you Marianne for all you have done and we pray for you to
enjoy every single day of retirement. You deserve it!
HELLO TO HELEN
Marianne can never be replaced but the person who is assuming the
position of Church secretary is a wonderfully sweet lady named Mrs. Helen
Mershon. Helen is married to Keith Mershon, the assistant manager of Ace
Hardware on Hy. 81 in McDonough, and they have 3 boys whose ages are
Helen is a graduate of Henry Country High and has lived in this
county for a total of 46 years. Helen has a very diverse background with a
degree from the Art Institute of Atlanta. She has worked as a secretary for
Mead Packing for 8 years, a production artist in College Park for 11 years
and a computer Para-pro at Ola Elementary for 7 years.
The SPR committee initially reviewed 65 resumes, interviewing
candidates by phone and in person, and Helen emerged as the perfect choice
for this position. She enters her employment with the unanimous approval
of the SPR committee.
We thank God for how He has blessed our Church through Marianne
and we praise Him for sending Helen our way. See you this Sunday and
don’t forget that God loves you and I do too!...........Bill
