The public is invited to attend an unveiling ceremony at noon on February 28, 2026, for a commemorative plaque to honor Theressa Hoover (1925-2013), a Fayetteville native and a groundbreaking African American leader in the global ecumenical movement. From 1968 to 1990, Hoover served as Associate/Deputy General Secretary of the Women’s Division of the United Methodist Church’s Board of Global Ministries. She shattered barriers as the highest-ranking Black female executive within any mainline denomination in the United States. She spent her last years in Fayetteville and worshipped at Sequoyah United Methodist Church, where her funeral was held in 2013. During her years at the helm of the Women's Division, she worked to strengthen the role of women and minorities within not only her own denomination but also, as a member of the National Council of Churches, others as well.

"Finding Our Way | February 5 - April 26, 2026
The moment of arrival—what we carry when we seek sanctuary, transitions, and the crossing into safety. Sandra Spotts, artist. Jay Lane, artist. Familiar images made from various materials and objects, found and recycled, placed in a format of controlled chaos, is at this point in my journey, the medium of choice for the
“Finding Our Way” exhibit at Gotahold Brewing. I see society as satirical subject matter that exists in a surrealistic landscape of twisted perspective that is filled to the fences with social ironies. And yet, I still have to maintain my sense of humor about what has been and what will be with the activities du jour based on fear, war, greed, and hate. With this sense also comes my interpretations, expressed visually based on my
experiences, feelings, and health, from finding my way as an artist. I hope these pieces give you a sense of curiosity that you continue to carry with you while you are finding your way through all of this we humans call life."
