Building the Neighborhood On October 9-11, volunteers from all over the country came to Columbia to help insulate the Berean Community Fellowship building under construction on Highway 55 Bypass. Veronica highlights their generosity and says "This is how we build communities and strong bonds that make Columbia the place we all want to live". By Veronica Arnold Fall is here! It seems here to stay and a flurry of activity is happening. There are community service projects, historical themed potlucks, the annual Downtown Days festival, and social mixers. It is hard to keep track of all the events, and even harder to attend them all. Maybe you saw some activity on the southern tip of the Hwy 55 bypass recently, or perhaps it was lost in the hustle and bustle. I do not want our community to lose the story of people coming together to build something beautiful, or, as this group says, "Change the world one set of foam at a time." I spoke with JT Meyer, with Bluegrass Spray Foam, about the project he helped to plan here in Columbia. Meyer told me that his church, Berean Community Fellowship, broke ground on that hilltop on the bypass in November of 2024. They started framing in May 2026, with volunteers doing the majority of the work at the site, with it being funded purely with donations from the church and friends who wish to help this church have their own sanctuary.

LWU ISP students explore Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg By Duane Bonifer A group of Lindsey Wilson University students took advantage of extra time off from classes earlier this month to explore the attractions and peculiarities of the region. During Lindsey Wilson's fall break of October 10-13, 2026, members of the Lindsey Wilson International Student Program and Global Citizens Club collaborated on a trip to visit the Tennessee tourist cities of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, where the cultural artifacts and exhibitions can range from pastiche to parody but usually reflect a certain degree of the American zeitgeist. A total of 13 students attended the trip, led by Makayla Wright '24, who is Lindsey Wilson international student adviser for communications and global student support coordinator.
