More on the "Recession"
Here in Jackson, it hasn't looked good lately. Some February developments:
Melling Tool is laying off 28 employees.
From a recent CitPat article:
Multiple local restaurants have reduced busing staff.
Bullinger's Pub is closing.
That's what February in Jackson has looked like, so far.
The good news, if you can call it that, is that some area churches are showing increased attendance. We had a packed house on Sunday for our guest speaker on Darfur. This is a good time as a church organization to think about what our saving message is, what our role in the community is, and how each of us can minister in this community.
