A Tribute to Bishop Gordon McDonald
Author: Steven MacDonald
As many of you know, this past Sunday on Father's Day we said goodbye to our PHCC General Superintendent and Bishop, Dr. Gordon McDonald. He meant so much to so many both here in Canada and around the world and he will be greatly missed. The family would like to convey their love and thanks for your prayerful support over the last year and a half that has strengthened them during this time. Please continue to keep the Bishop's wife Glenda, their three sons and their families in prayer through the days ahead.
He cared deeply for each of you and the work of God among our local churches here in Canada as we continue moving forward. Bishop McDonald pastored Calvary Church for 40 years and held a great love in his heart for this community of faith that he effectively led for so many years. This Sunday, as a church family we will be looking back to Father's Day 2019 for a Special Rebroadcast Tribute of Bishop McDonald's last message here at Calvary. Although he is no longer with us, his life and legacy still speaks. We invite you to join us. You can watch our live broadcast Sunday at 9AM | 10:30AM | 12PM (PDT) at www.calvary.ca or you can also watch it on demand after these times on our Calvary Church YouTube channel.
We continue to work closely with the family as they prayerfully consider what a memorial will look like to honour and celebrate his life at a time when there is such strict gathering restrictions and border controls in place in our province by our health authorities. We will keep you posted when their plans are confirmed. Until that time, they have requested privacy while they navigate the days ahead. If you would like to send cards, letters or emails, please feel free to direct them to info@calvary.ca or mail them to Calvary Church at the address shown below, and we would be happy to pass them along to the family.
God's best,
Pastor Steve
