Reverend McGee was a pastor for Bethel Christian Fellowship Church in Pittsview for many years. He and Mrs. Sarah became family and was family. They were my daughter Teare godparents. That's how much we loved and cherished them. His leadership, his words of wisdom and most of all, his teaching and preaching the bread from Heaven will carry on in our lives for as long as we live. one of his famous phrases was " Time has been far spent" When he would say that, it was time to wrap it up (lol) Rest on pastor, we loved you, but God loved you best. Say hello to Mrs. Sarah (Chic) for us.
