John McCord: “The Completion of a Good Work”
I first met John McCord 40 years ago when I attended the Pinewood Church of Christ with Stan, who would later become my husband. Paul Rogers, the iconic minister of the Centerville Church of Christ, once told me and Stan we would reflect on our early years in Pinewood as among the most special of our lives. And he was right.
John, his family, the church and community of Pinewood have
forever been dear to us. Imagine my joy to hear from John a few months ago and catch up over coffee. By God’s grace, I now get to share him with you.
