Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2021 By Bro. Steve Pescosolido President, Adair County Ministerial Association It has been an Adair County tradition to hold a community worship service on Ash Wednesday. For years and years, this service was normally held at 12:05 followed by lunch and usually held at the Columbia United Methodist Church.

God's blessings on this special day, Bro. Steve Pescosolido, President of the Adair County Ministerial Association This story was posted on 2021-02-17 06:46:46
