In July, we told you about a youth cooking class at Colonial Heights United Methodist Church in Kingsport, Tennessee. I put it on my list of cooking stories I wanted to write!
However, the summertime class was nearing its end, and I was obligated to cover another story in Knoxville on the same night.
So I wondered: Would the Kingsport Times-News be interested in covering this great ministry?
How excited we were when the Times-News said, “Yes”! We sent photographer Ben Smith who took great photos … and reporter Holly Viers wrote this great story.
“We were able to tie in making food with spiritual food that we need in our lives.”
— Instructor Sam Hiester in the Kingsport Times-News
Since then, I’ve seen youth leaders talking on social media about how they might try a cooking class with their youth members next summer. Is this something that could work for your group? Let us know.
