The sons and daughters of Julie and Mel Lacock hosted a Volunteers’ Appreciation Reception after the Sunday evening service on July 25 to thank all the Morningside volunteers who helped their folks prepare the house for listing, manage a Moving Sale, and load the moving truck.
Jerry, their youngest son, shared a letter of appreciation from each of the siblings. They expressed their appreciation to the 70 Morningside volunteers who have helped over the past 4 months.
Julie shared her appreciation for all the support she received during the challenging process of sorting, packing, and moving after 33 years in their Simpsonville home. She was thankful for how the Lord graciously provided for all their needs.
Pastor Miller honored the Lacocks for their missionary service in Taiwan, their faithful years of service at Morningside, and Mel’s creation and production of Won-on-One, a discipleship booklet for new believers. Mel continues to print this resource and distribute it around the world.
A PPT video (linked to video) was shown during the reception. It highlights some of the ways Morningsiders were a blessing to the Lacocks during this transition time.
On Tuesday, July 27, the Lacocks finalized the sale of their house and moved to Atlanta to live closer to one of their son’s, Tim, and his family. In this process, we claimed Isaiah 41:10 with Julie and Mel: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
