Jack Gilmour, Rotation pioneer, passes away at the age of 89 I first met Jack Gilmour in the early 90's when he came to our church in Barrington Illinois to learn about the Rotation Model. His booming bass voice, 6-2 frame, and old school look filled the room. Almost immediately I could see his retired wheels turning. Jack later told me that he and his beloved wife Peg, and Cliff Heagy, Director of Education at Jack's church (and a rotation pioneer in his own right), -began to plan their church's Rotation "in the car ride home." Indeed, Jack and Cliff implemented one of the very first Rotation Sunday Schools, and went on to enthusiastically share their experience and expertise. In the succeeding years, Jack was instrumental in organizing many of the original Chicagoland rotation churches, and helped launch several regional and national rotation seminars. His "Opening the Doors" rotation newsletter kept many of us connected and informed. A retired successful businesman and outspoken leader in his church, Jack was a force to be reckoned with. But what impressed me most about the man was his passion for his church's childrens ministry, and for kids themselves, -that they would know Christ. He wasn't just a volunteer, he was a shepherd. Sitting on my bookcase is a small stained-glass Star of Bethlehem that Jack made by-hand and gave to me several Christmas' ago. Not only is it a fitting symbol of his faith and ministry, but the fact that he made it late in his life when he was nearly blind --is a meaning too deep for words. <>< Neil MacQueen Rotation.org Founder & Mechanic "Lenten Journey" at Emmanuel Reformed, Castleton NY   The Synagogue (worship) Workshop and Ark of the Covenant at University Christian, Ft Worth TX Have some great Rotation photos you want to share?
