COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING SERVICE


Tonight at First United Methodist Church on Highway 22, Huntingdon, TN at 7 pm will be the yearly Thanksgiving service. Preaching will be Mike Bowers of Eastview Baptist Church. He is the newest pastor in the area. Last year I was the newest pastor and had the honor of preaching the service.

The offering tonight will go toward the Benevolent Fund to help need families over the next several months. An offering is received at the Easter and Thanksgiving service each year.

The Huntingdon Ministerial Alliance works together for the spreading of the Gospel, the unity of the believers and the Great Commandment - "By this shall all men know ye are my disciples if ye have love one to another." We thank God for each minister in the HMA. Dr. Paul Millikin, Pastor of the First United Methodist Church is the President, Lynn Stapleton, Pastor of Huntingdon Missionary Baptist Church is the Vice President, Jimmy Furr, West Tennessee Baptist Association Director, is the Secretary and I am the Recording Treasurer. Baptist Hospital Chaplain Jerry Leggett has the meeting room at the hospital reserved each third Tuesday at 8 am for the meeting and the ladies in the hospitl kitchen prepare a delicious breakfast - for which we are very thankful. Other members of the HMA are Roger Patton, Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Huntingdon; Rufus Chandler, Pastor, (church info not available at this time); Bryan Oakes, Pastor, Baptist Church; James Humphreys, Retired Baptist Pastor; John Colombus, Pastor First Pentecostal Church; Sister Ruth Nistler, Catholic Church; Chuck Burks, Pastor, New Life Christian Ministries. These are the active members of the HMA at this time.

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day in the Lord.
