City loses resource with store’s closing

Mt heart is saddened as I write this letter. For the past four years, I have been an employee of Adams Christian Bookstore. It now has closed its doors for the final time.

It has been a privilege for me to work with Sandy and Phyllis Adams. Beth Perry, my friend and manager, has mace every day that I worked a joy. We did have some fun times, and I will miss that. I know that we will find reasons to keep our friendship moving forward.

I am thankful for the friend I have made by working at the store.. This has not just been a job for me, but a ministry as well. Each day that I worked, I would pray before leaving home that the Lord would show me how I could help someone with a need — and he always did.

With the lclosing, our community has lost a much-needed resource, but as the economy goes, so goes the jobs. I truly will miss being part of the ministry that Sandy and Phyllis started. As one door closes, another will open somewhere else. I am grateful for the privilege of serving others.

Pam Doolin, Ashland
