On Sunday September 9th, the Barnard First United Methodist Church was filled to overflowing for the special service that had been planned. The Coover Boys and Pastor Jeff Metzler (The Kingdom Strings)started things off with some beautiful music, both traditional and contemporary. Pastor Jeff joked that even when the Coover boys were 100 years old, they would still be the "Coover Boys."
Marlene Clark and Kay Jackson, the Barnard UMC pianists, made the instrument sing. Sara Biggs played an inspiring tune, the instrumental "The Lord's Prayer." The Clark Family Choir and the Kelly Family Choir sang beautifully. The choir from the Barnard First Baptist Church sang "Have a Little Talk With Jesus." All of the musical talent was exceptional.
Pastors Kaye and Jeff Metzler gave a moving and thoughtful sermon and made everyone feel welcome. After the service, many in attendance gathered at the Barnard Community Building for a noon meal and fellowship.
The service was recorded and barring any technical mess ups (by me), the video will be available from the church and the Barnard Banter in the near future.
