The Red River District will offer Basic and Advanced Lay Servant Training at Gordon Memorial UMC on February 11 and 18, 2023.  These courses will be offered in person and are available to our laity from the Tennessee-Western Kentucky Conference.  We also welcome our supply pastors to join in this training. To register, contact: Bruce Myers at myersb@apsu.edu or 931-206-2562.

Each course meets on two consecutive Saturdays in the 8:30 AM-3:30 PM time frame.  The exact schedule will be shared later. There is no cost other than the price of the textbook.  A link to order the book will be provided with registration. Lunch will be served on both days.  Weather issues could force us to reschedule or switch to an online format.  Students should monitor course emails carefully.  The church is conveniently located just off I40 in West Nashville.
