One of the newest churches in Trigg County is also one of the newest Proud Sponsors of The Way.

Our thanks go to Open Door Baptist Church for its generosity. Pictured here are pastor Nate Shaver and his wife Rachel holding their sponsor poster in front of The Way’s fundraising “thermometer.”

This young couple has already gotten involved with our ministry. They recently gave a Friday night devotional, and we hope they will return soon to deliver another.

Open Door is an independent Baptist church. It is located at 211 Commerce Street in Cadiz. Sunday services are at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. There’s also a service at 7:00 p.m. Thursday.

Our ministry welcomes the Cadiz Eye Clinic as a new Proud Supporter of The Way.

Pictured here is owner Dr. Scott Sutherland and Lillie Sue Bostick.

Dr. Sutherland has been practicing at The Cadiz Eye Clinic for 34 years. For decades, he and his staff have been proud supporters of Trigg County youth. He has served various roles at the Cadiz Rotary Club, also a big supporter of our ministry.

He and his staff are excited to see our new youth center become a reality and serve the youth of this community, many of whom are not served by other entities in this area.

The Cadiz Eye Clinic is located at 304 Main St. It’s open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and is closed each day for lunch from noon to 1 p.m. To make an appointment, call (270) 522-3263.

Flowers By Jess is a new Proud Sponsor of The Way. Shown here holding the supporter poster is Vickie Ezell, who has owned and operated the business with husband Jess since March 1975.

The florist has gift items for all occasions. These include fresh and silk green plants, blooming plants, chimes, pictures and wall decorations.

“We support The Way because we see the good they do for the young people,” says Vickie. “If we don’t offer them a positive place to be, they will find someplace themselves.”

Flowers By Jess is located at 2095 Old Canton Pike (Highway 272) in Cadiz. You can reach them at (270) 522-3719.

Back to Back Inc. is the latest Proud Sponsor of The Way. Pictured here are Chairman Brent Gilkey with Margaret Moody, a board member of The Way.

Back to Back Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization formed in 2005 by Brice Long and his wife. Brice is a popular country singer/songwriter from Hopkinsville. Back to Back’s mission is to meet the needs of families in Christian and Trigg counties, primarily during the holiday season.

Brice formed Back to Back intending to give back to the community that had supported him so much throughout his career. The Back to Back Foundation provides clothing, shoes, food, household items, beds, school supplies and toys to families that are in need during the holidays.

The organization also makes substantial donations to various

Pennyrile Electric does much more than provide electricity to this area. It also provides financial support for many worthy causes in our community.  We’re proud to announce that the company is now a Proud Sponsor of The Way.

Pictured here holding the supporter poster are Pam Bowland (left), Pennyrile employee, and Margaret Moody, a volunteer at The Way. Greg Grissom of Pennyrile holds a replica of their check donated to The Way.

Pennyrile Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation (PRECC) has helped citizens of Trigg and other counties in western Kentucky since 1937. A publicly owned and operated organization serving over 43,000 members, the corporation is invaluable to the health, economic welfare, and safety of the region.

The Way thanks PRECC for sponsoring its new youth center. And we’re especially grateful for the company’s selfless dedication, regardless of weather or other factors, in serving the residents and businesses in this area.

The Way receives various kinds of support from area churches. Some provide financial support, for which we’re grateful.

Other churches also get physically involved with day-to-day operations and fundraising.

Roaring Spring Christian Church is one of those churches. It’s also a new Proud Supporter of The Way.

Besides financial backing, some church members provide devotionals. Others have prepared desserts to help us with fundraising events. Pastor Eric Harris can often be found at The Way, leading devotions and volunteering for other tasks.  He and his congregation feel it’s important to provide Christian leadership to our youth, who will be the leaders of tomorrow.

We truly appreciate the effort this church puts in to furthering our ministry.

Roaring Spring Christian Church is located at 228 Military Road in Herndon. Sunday School starts at 10 a.m., with church beginning at 11 a.m. The phone number is (270) 271-2211.

Like our ministry, Dyers Chapel United Methodist Church has had more than one home. It was founded in 1872 as Dyers Chapel. a Methodist-Episcopal church in a schoolhouse on Maple Grove-Linton Road. Five years later, the name was changed to Dyersburg Chapel Methodist Church.

In November 1911, the church burned down. It was eventually moved to where it stands today, just over three miles west of Cadiz across from Lawrence Cemetery.  In the 1960s, when the Methodist-Episcopal Church merged with the United Brethern Church, Dyers Chapel became a United Methodist Church.

Today, Dyers Chapel United Methodist Church is a Proud Sponsor of The Way. That’s Pastor Charles Williams on the left, receiving our supporter poster from Administrative Council Chairperson Ron Rutherford.

The church is very proud of The Way, considering it a very important ministry and local mission service to our community youth. “We know The Way touches these young people in a very special way for God,” said a congregation member.

Dyers Chapel United Methodist Church holds services every Sunday at 11:00 a.m. and Bible study on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m.

Of all the people who appreciate The Way, probably the most grateful are the parents of kids who attend our youth center.

Brother Russ Thomas, pastor of Donaldson Creek Baptist Church, is one such parent.  His children, Nathan and Molly, have benefited first-hand from our ministry.

So it’s no surprise that Donaldson Creek has become our latest Proud Sponsor of The Way.

“I can’t thank The Way enough for all it does for the youth of Trigg County,” Brother Russ said. “You all are making a difference.

The church is located at 4572 Donaldson Creek Road. The phone number is (270) 924-0091.

Plus, Scotty and Andrea have ministered to several students who attend The Way.
