December Storm Disaster Relief
The storms that came through Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky the weekend of December 10 caused destruction that is still being covered by the national news. An EF3 tornado brought about significant damage in Henry County, Tennessee, where Grace Episcopal Church in Paris, Tennessee is located. Fortunately, Grace Church was not damaged, and no one in the congregation received significant damage or injury. Paris is not far from Mayfield, Kentucky, however, which received tremendous damage.

Over the last year, we have been reminded of the critical role of technology in ministry.

These practices will continue to help us share the Good News throughout West Tennessee. Your donation will enable us to improve upon the good work that has already begun.
Calvary Lenten Preaching and Waffle Shop March On
Lent 2021 breaks with tradition with some speakers participating via recorded messages from a physical distance. Attendees for in-person services will sign up in advance, wear masks, and sit spaced apart from others. A new addition for 2021--a line-up of local musicians specializing in everything from the hammer dulcimer to the harp--will play preludes to a mostly empty house. And Waffle Shop will serve customers through pre-orders and take-out food.
