If there is one thing that can be said about Cherokee County as a community, it is that we lend a helping hand whenever it is needed no matter where it is.

On Wednesday, the Centre Congregational Holiness Church in partnership with the Centre 1st Baptist Church partnered together to collect supplies for those impacted by the recent devastating tornado in Mayfield, Kentucky.

Tim Smith, Pastor of the Centre Congregational Holiness Church said he was watching the news coverage of the damage on TV when it felt the call to help out –

Dr. Eddie Nation, Pastor of Centre’s 1st Baptist Church is a Kentucky native and said that fortunately, his family was safe but shared his appreciation for the relief efforts from the community as a whole.
