Lay Ministry School held at First Methodist

First Methodist was a busy place last weekend when they hosted the Lay Ministry School. Aspiring lay men and women from all over the Cookeville District gathered for training on Friday evening for a delicious supper and classes.  They returned on Saturday for another full day. There were four workshops for choices.

Meanwhile Kids Connection on the McMinnville Highway sponsored a thrift sale on children’s clothes. 

The Store on Market Street sponsored by the Animal Shelter Agency was open with lots of clothes and interesting stuff for sale. So our small beloved town was busy also last weekend.

The youth at First Methodist also hosted a ‘Feast for the Famine" lunch after church last Sunday.  It was a fundraiser for their project of sponsoring two children to feed for a year. If they raised $1,000, Dr. John, their pastor would have to shave his beard!

Get-well wishes and hugs to Sarah Brown, Laird Barnard, Holly Forkner, Jerry Williams,

Jean Meyers (knee surgery), T.M. Hooper, Bob and Jeanene Pettis, Morris Turner, Shannon Cantrell, Dalton Theraque, Charmaine Mitchell, and Bertha McBride.
