A pew for every neighbor

Sunday Sermon


Dearest Neighbors,

Come Sunday mornin' in Putnam County, the church bells start their gossip long before The Lady does. 🔔 From white clapboard chapels up the holler to the big sanctuaries along Teays Valley Road, there's a pew, a hymnal and a warm hello waitin' for anybody who'd like one.

The Lady doesn't rank, recommend or referee. This little directory is simply here to help a newcomer, a visitin' cousin, or a neighbor lookin' for a fresh start find a door that's open. Whatever your tradition, or if you're still figurin' that out, you are welcome on this porch.

Great-Aunt Ida Mae always said the best part of Sunday is the casserole line after, where everybody's kin. 🥧

Yours always, The Lady
