Happy Hearts Luncheon

February 19, 2026

We had our annual "Happy Hearts" luncheon at the Olive Tree restaurant on Thornton Road. This has been an enjoyable annual event, sort of like a Valentine luncheon for couples in Mableton First Baptist, but open to others including staff, with Pastor Doug Thompson and Jonatan Coronado present. Thanks to Nan LaFlash for her work in organizing this year's event.

We had 21 present. Clockwise Mike and Cheryl Anthony, Wayne and Jo Templeton, Corky Brooks, Betty Archer, Becky and Ricky Ridgway, Jonatan Coronado, Kelley and Doug Brandon, Nan LaFlash, Edna and Robert Goldsborough, Dennis and Brenda Luense, Carol Hall, Pastor Doug Thompson, Rod and Brenda Nave, and Kathryn Cain.

From the other end of the table, clockwise from top right: Jonatan Coronado, Kelley and Doug Brandon, Nan LaFlash, Robert and Edna Goldsborough, Dennis and Brenda Luense, Carol Hall.
