In Memoriam | James Rogers (1943 – 2020)
Building and Grounds
Following in his father’s footsteps, James faithfully served the church for nearly 57 years. Only 19 years old when he started, James planned to only serve temporarily. But, the longer he worked here the better he liked it. In a church like Mayfield First, there are more doors, cabinets, closets, and storage spaces than most of us will ever see. James knew them all like the back of his hand. We give thanks to God for his faithful servant, James Rogers.
In Memoriam | Debbie Jetton (1952 – 2021)
Piano, Organ, Bell Choir
Debbie came to Kentucky from Florida and joined the Mayfield First family in 2008. She graduated from South Dakota State University with a degree in art and English, but her all-time favorite opportunity is being the pianist here. Debbie leaves behind a rich legacy of music and missional leadership. We thank God for her service and her devotion.
