First Presbyterian Church, U.S.A.
Cookeville, Tennessee

Mission

Habitat pictures - the Stewarts

Our church has a strong commitment to its Mission program, and supports both national and local needs.  Among these are: Helping Hands of Putnam County, Habitat for Humanity, Creative Compassion, Rescue Mission, Genesis House, Mediation Services,  Heifer Project, UNICEF and General Missions.  We have also sponsored families from Bosnia and Vietnam.

A group of members of the First Presbyterian Church in Cookeville gathered together recently to put on  shingles, finish putting boards over a roof and finish other details at a Habitat for Humanities house on Edwards Lane, Jackson Passage. Above to the right are some of the pictures taken at that time by Eliseo Rios.

Our church houses One World Market, an alternative gift shop, where purchases count twice.  Items from Serrv and Unicef support the work of these service agencies, and the profits are given to local service organizations such as Rescue Mission and Clearing House.

One World Market also helps the church to promote the housing ministry, Creative Compassion, with the sale of Kroger cards and Heifer Project International with the sale of gift cards to send much needed animals to needy villages.

            A recent mission focus is the work of Grant Lovellette, one of our church family, who is teaching English and Bible study to gypsies (Roma) in Eastern Europe.  In the pictures on the left, Grant assists a child at a school in Szurte, Ukraine, where he taught children from ages 5 to 17.  Also included are pictures from a baptism and a leadership meeting. He is currently in a new job in Budapest, Hungary.  You can find more information about his endeavors at http://www.pcusa.org/missionconnections/profiles/ lovelletteg.htm.
