West Tennessee District Leadership Meeting

On Sunday evening, ministers and laity of our churches in the Western part of Tennessee gathered at the Holiday Inn conference center for our annual gathering. There was a great crowd on hand, and we were blessed by the fellowship.

Almost all of the state staff were on hand for the meeting, and information was shared concerning our work in Tennessee.

The worship team was led by Bishop Clayton Mahan and we were blessed by the vocal ministry of Randy Crowder.

Bishop Robbie Wier assisted in the moderation of the meeting.

Well over 200 people were in attendance at the meeting, which was concluded by special prayer for Pastor Jerry Robbins and his wife Shelia, and an ordination service for our newest minister, Alette Shapley.

We are thankful for the participation of our precious folks in West Tennessee. The next meeting will be this coming Sunday evening at the Crossroads church in White Bluff, Tennessee at 6:00 p.m. We hope to see you there!
