May 3, 2019 at 12:27 amMy wife and I extend our deepest condolences to the family and church family. We will certainly miss Overseer, and cherish the moments she gave to both of us. I personally will miss and cherish the many songs she sang and played on the organ, that were soul stirring. We are grateful for the gift she was to us, and honor her as a mighty servant of God, a matriarch of faith, a ferverent prayer warrior, one who lived as an example and preached Holiness with love and grace.

May 3, 2019 at 9:57 amPraise God from Whom all blessings flow!
“Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day,” Acts 26:22a KJV
This was one of Pastor McClendon’s favorite passages before she ministered the Word of God to us. I was blessed in my early walk in Christ by her presence; a beautiful example of how a Holy woman is to live. I will always remember her kind words to me. To her natural family and the Bethel Apostolic Church family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

May 3, 2019 at 11:05 amA tremendous woman of God who was committed to her doctrine and life of holiness. Blessings to the family and to the Bethel Church family.
It was the Bethel church that encouraged me during my study at Norfolk State.
Thanks to the family and the church for all of your prayers for me and now it is a pleasure to be praying for your family and church.
Regards from from Lady and Jackson and myself
