While it might seem a difficult proposition for a church that rarely has more than 15 people at Sunday services to raise such a large amount of money, Clarksville United Methodist is known for not shying away from big projects. The roof was replaced in 2007, steeple work was done during the building centennial in 2008, and basement and kitchen renovations were completed in 2013. The church at the corner of Highway 79 and Howard Street in the downtown area also has gotten worldwide publicity for opening its doors to volunteers who battle ever-more-frequent Mississippi River floods. Janie Busch is one of the luncheon organizers and says completion of the stained glass campaign is proof that God answers prayer.
