By Linda Waggener News from Campbellsville University Campbellsville, KY. - Campbellsville University alumnus Lewis Haynes spent his career as an educator in the Adair County public school system and has served three different terms as the bivocational pastor of Plum Point Baptist Church in northern Adair Co., KY. Haynes was a student at Campbellsville College in 1959 when Plum Point Pastor Richard Donovan invited him to supply the Thanksgiving Sunday service. As the year 1960 began he was invited back to preach for three of four January Sundays and from there was asked to stay on as full time pastor. He was brought back to Plum Point again in the 1970s, came back for a third term in 1982 and he continues as pastor there to this day. One member of the community said of Haynes, "He is one of the quiet, wonderful people in the world today. The Plum Point Baptist Church congregation, which he has served for many years, dearly loves him." Haynes is a native of Wolf Co., Ky. He met a young Owsley Co. woman by the name of Mary Becknell when she was working as a waitress in the Betsy Ann Cafe. She invited him to the Twelve-Mile Baptist Church in California Ky., where he later surrendered to the call to preach under pastor Russell Hayne. Plum Point Baptist Church is known for friendliness, 'Coffee Can Fund' Plum Point Baptist Church is known for its friendliness and for its unique 'Coffee Can Fund', started by one of Haynes' faithful members, David Mann, a native of nearby Dunbar Ridge, who drives to Plum Point every Sunday from his home in Elizabethtown. The fund is a direct link to families in need whether they are members of the church or not. Recipients can be anyone who is known and recommended by a member - maybe a neighbor, family or friend. The Coffee Can Fund has no overhead. Every dollar contributed to the Coffee Can Fund is used for charitable purposes. The Coffee Can Fund is a program of Mann's adult Sunday School class at Plum Point Baptist. In addition to the regular Sunday offering collected during morning worship, the adult class collects a special offering each week by passing a coffee can among its class members. Coffee Can fund is drained every Christmas It can be used anytime during the year in times of serious illness, personal tragedy or other urgent need and then the balance of the fund is drained at Christmas when each church member takes a family in need and goes shopping with them, up to $500, providing gifts such as winter clothes and supplies that the children would not receive otherwise. Plum Point Baptist Church, 6107 Knifley RD, Columbia, KY., is located at mile marker six on Route 551 out of Columbia, KY. Sunday School begins at 9:30amCT and the worship service at 10:30amCT.
