Re: Bro. Murrell Ewing'a Homegoing Service Streami
Okay, now I've really been done in. I thought it was earlier, but no...it's now. 
Beautiful.

Re: Bro. Murrell Ewing'a Homegoing Service Streami
Does anybody know the seating capacity of Eastwood? I didn't realize they had a church this big. Of course the last time I was there was probably in the early 80's or late 70's and it was a completely different address and building.

We all used to give our best shot at imitating Murrell. There was a kid in close to my hometown who was so good at it, it would scare us when he would be in another room and start singing like him. But I have the feeling that Landy would sound 100% just like him if he tried.

Yup. You could tell when he was speaking and singing that his voice is close enough to his dad's that he can probably do a great impersonation.
All of the UPC blue bloods from my youth are dying off. Bro. Urshan, GA Mangun, and now Murrell Ewing.

Re: Bro. Murrell Ewing'a Homegoing Service Streami
Alex church being my home church in my early years, Murrell was the asst. to G.A.. He was so slow with his speech it drove G.A. Nuts.
Once as Murrell was make the announcements and giving the prayer request he tried reading a note for a prayer request. Of course, you would have to see G.A.'s penmanship. Absolutely no one could read it. So Murrell stumbled, very haltingly trying to read the prayer request written by G.A.
He said, "Let us remember Fred...no Flo...ah...Freul Casis...... Just about that time G.A. had enough he jumped up and ran over to the mike and said: FLU CASES!!!! FLU CASES!!!!!! FLU CASES!!!!!!
G.A. always like to the services snap along at a good pace. He would not put up with anyone going to the pulpit and drag around very much.

Re: Bro. Murrell Ewing'a Homegoing Service Streami
Sounds like a great man. I never knew him or heard him sing beyond a few minutes but appreciate all the kind words directed at him. I especially like all the comments about him being humble.
