Fire department fundraiser is cancelled for today

You can't argue with Mother Nature. She wins every time. The fundraiser that was scheduled for today is rained out. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

We hope to plan another fundraiser for sometimes in 2014. In the meantime, if you were planning to stop by and make a donation, please give it directly to the fire department. They work hard to serve our community. No doubt that they will appreciate the support.

Newly remodeled sanctuary to be unveiled soon

Our newly remodeled sanctuary will be coming soon! We're confident that you're going to love it as much as we will.  The new "do" on the sanctuary wouldn't have been possible without lots of help. Several mission teams have worked on the building.

We want to say a hearty "thank you" to:

Both teams from the Church of Latter Day Saints, Cleveland Ward
Youth Group of Wesley United Methodist Church
Students from Tennessee Wesleyan College
An individual who stopped by one day and pitched in.
Our entire congregation at Piney Grove United Methodist Church

There's a tiny bit more work that needs to be done so the grand unveiling will be in a few more weeks. Our projected completion is mid-September. Keep following the blog for details as they become available. You'll want to see it.

Easter Sunrise service at Piney Grove UMC

Piney Grove UMC is a warm happy place. The bright smiles can help you feel right at home. Here are some photos from our Easter Sunrise service. It started at 7:00 a.m.-ish with a gathering in front of the decorated cross. We held a time of devotion and then headed inside for a great breakfast. Sunday school and our regularly scheduled worship came next. Being with committed Christians is always a peppy upbeat occasion. Easter gives us the greatest reason to get together at Piney Grove UMC in Athens, Tennessee.

Easter Sunday at Piney Grove UMC, Athens

Breakfast gave us an opportunity to fellowship and shake off the cool sunrise air. Our menu for today was scrambled eggs with cheese, pancakes,blueberries, fruit topping, sausage, ham and bacon! Is your mouth watering yet? No? I bet it will when I tell you that we had orange juice, apple juice, milk and coffee! Anytime that you get up this early coffee is a must.

Now I realize that some people may not have been able to come. That's okay because you have the chance to join us next Sunday at 10:00 a.m. We won't guarantee breakfast but we can guarantee warm hearts, hearty smiles and a big welcome.
