Dear Jefferson Avenue Brothers and Sisters in Christ, We are so grateful and thankful to have been able to worship with like-minded believers in Christ while in Tennessee. You all have been a true blessing to us during our time here. Unfortunately, due to the declining health of our father and brother-in-law, and our desire to be physically closer to our kids, we have decided to relocate closer to our family. It has been an honor to be a part of this loving family at Jefferson Avenue. We will miss you all greatly. Please remember us in your prayers! With love, Pat and Nancy Scott.
