Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back. Those are words that hundreds of Mon-roe County individuals came together to speak, live and believe as they participat-ed in the 2012 Relay For Life of Monroe County, Saturday and Sunday, June 23 and June 24, to help the American Can-cer Society advance its mission to save lives, help those touched by cancer, and empower people to fight back against the disease. This year, a total of 9 county teams and more than approximately 450 plus participants took part in the Relay.

The evening’s event so far has raised approximately $24,000 with some addi-tional money still outstanding. This was a significant raise over last year’s amount.

This year’s Relay chairman was Ali Rentschler.

“This year’s Relay made me cry it was such a fantastic event,” said Rentschler. “I was very, very impressed with the turnout.”

In the days leading up to Relay, teams help raise much-needed funds and awareness through donations, activities and fundraisers.

Area cancer survivors helped kick off the event by taking part in the first lap – the survivors’ lap followed immediately by a caregivers lap. After these emotion-al laps accompanied by thunderous ap-plause individuals took over the track to walk away the laps throughout the night.

Chairman Ali Rentschler opened the ceremonies welcoming this year’s par-ticipants to the Relay For Life of Mon-roe County and this year’s theme “Colors For a Cure” and thanked everyone for at-tending the annual event.

“I know what cancer is all about and why we are here tonight,” said Chairman Rentschler. “We can’t rest. We can’t ever give up; you guys are never going to give up (she said to the crowd).”

As Paris High School Junior Sara Hunt sang the National Anthem, with the col-ors presented by American Legion Post 221, you could scan the crowd and see what an emotionally charged evening it was going to be.

Pastor Donna Scott gave the invocation and Rentschler introduced the steering committee members.

“No life is disposable at all,” said Pas-tor Scott.

“We do not have a chairman here in Monroe County – we do this by commit-tee,” said Chairperson Rentschler.

In a moving presentation, featured speaker Joyce Penny spoke about how cancer has touched her.

“Survivors symbolize the courageous struggle of all cancer patients,” said

Committee Member Donna Morgan. Louise Hollingsworth received the 2012 Hero of Hope Award from Donna Mor-gan.

Rentschler and Committee Member Robin Adams presented the 2012 Man of the Year Award to Monroe County Ap-peal Publisher David Eales.

“Tonight is a celebration of life and of hope,” added Rentschler. “I ask every-one here tonight to join us in the walk of life!”

Becky Blackaby and Brian Yelton per-formed to loud raucous applause prior to the luminaria ceremony while team members walked laps around the court-house. Each team had its own food and specialty items available for sale during the event.

As the daylight faded over the partici-pants, luminarias were lit in honor of those fighting cancer, caregivers and in memory of those who have been lost to this disease.

In a moving and emotional moment, as Mary Beth Mitchell and Ellen Smothers read each name – each individual lumi-naria was lit. Approximately 503 lumi-narias helped shine through the darkness and represent the hope that one day, can-cer will no longer be a major health issue.

Food booths are a large part of the event and help raise money on the spot. This year’s food booths included but was not limited to:

Team Lifesavers - Pulled pork sand-wiches, Cole Slaw, Lee’s famous tea and popsicles.

Gang Green - BBQ hamburgers with Paris Exchange Ice Cream.

The Paris National Bank - Fried pickles, fried Oreos and funnel cakes. They also featured breakfast with biscuits and gravy and bacon sandwiches served after mid-night.

Abel’s Quik Stop - Turkey and Noodles, hot dogs, tea, soda and water.

Granville Church - Walking tacos, soda and water.

Jeanne Nobis had her famous potato bar with fixings

Monroe County Cancer Supporters - Fish and fried potatoes

Paris First Christian Church Pew Crew sold yarn scarves, puppy chow and chex mix.

Monroe Manor had stepping stones and fried pickles

The Barking Butterfly Bakery girls did extremely well selling their famous bak-ery items along with a frozen lemonade drink, and offered a craft of “make your own tie-dye t-shirt.”

After the ceremony silent auction win-

ners were announced and the Granville Team gave away their grocery basket of food (won by Putnam Tire, Paris). The rest of the evening consisted of games, theme laps, street dancing, karaoke and

fun. The evening’s excellent MC’s were Cory Putnam and Steve Adams with mu-sic provided by Larry Cornelius, LLC. Hit activities of the night center around the Relay Jail and the Golden Throne; each raising a significant amount of money.

The event ended with a prayer by Rev-erend Fran Schnarre, the closing ceremo-nies, awards presentation and the an-nouncement of totals.

Teams for the 2012 Relay For Life of Monroe County included:

St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church

Gang Green – Cory Putnam, Robin Ad-ams and group

Abel’s Quik Shop Monroe County Cancer SupportersThe Paris National Bank Granville Christian Church Paris First Christian Church Monroe Manor Paris Patriots (Team Lifesavers)The most spirited team was awarded

to Team Livesavers. Colby Robb, great nephew of Rita Boston, won the award for most laps.

The Power of a FatherJust a Thought

If we are around young children for any length of time, chances are they are going to say and do some things that make

us laugh. I want to share some of the fun-ny things my children and other children have said and done.

*My son and I were sitting on the couch when he asked me, “Hey mom, if you touch coyote poop will you get ra-bies?” I had to sit there for a minute to think about what he just said and then I questioned him right back. “Did you say coyote poop?” He said “Yes mom coy-ote poop.” Then I asked something that probably sounded a little silly but you never know with boys. “Why? Did you touch some coyote poop?” Then my son says, “No, I just wanted to know.” (I’m thinking why in the world is he asking about coyote poop and then I’m thinking I’m not even sure what the answer is to this question. I don’t think you can’t get rabies from touching any poop but I’m really not sure so I came up with a solu-tion so we didn’t have to worry about it either way.) I told my son, “How about you just don’t touch any poop including coyote poop and then you don’t have to worry about it?”. My son looks at me shrugs his shoulders and says, “Okay”.

*Six year old Angie and her four-year-old brother Joe were sitting together in church. Joe was giggling, and talking out loud. Finally his big sister had enough and said, “You’re not suppose to talk out loud in church.” Joe then asked, “Why? Who’s going to stop me?” Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, “See those two men standing by the door? They’re hushers.”

*I heard my son telling his brother: “Did you know if you start using deodorant too young it will make you go blind?”

*My friend’s son shared this insight with his mom: “It must be really hard being a bug. One minute you are just walking around and the next minute you’re dead.”

*Here is a young man trying to figure out the do’s and do not’s of life: “Can you go to jail for putting too much toilet paper in the toilet?”

*My son: “Hey mom, did you know that drinking coffee makes your hair gray?”

Me: “Oh really, how do you know that?”My son: “My friend told me that is why

her mom has to color her hair orange. Yep, she just drank so much coffee that gray hairs started plopping out all over.” (I didn’t want to break it to him that chil-dren are probably more the cause of gray hairs than drinking coffee!!)

*When a mom saw a thunderstorm form-ing in mid-afternoon she worried about her nine-year-old daughter who would be walking three blocks home from school. Deciding to meet her, the mom saw her walking nonchalantly along, stopping to smile whenever lightening flashed. When the little girl noticed her mom she ran to her and excitedly told her, “All the way home, God’s been taking my picture!”

*According to my eight year old son, the way to be rich is helping people mow their yards.

I thank God for the youngsters in our lives who bring us laughter and help us put smiles on our faces. There is nothing like being moved to tears through laugh-ter and a good laugh has more than once helped me through a difficult time in my life. If you have any funny stories you would like to share please email me at lisa.talton@yahoo.com.

Just Ask Dave...by David Eales

Publisher/Editorappeal@parismo.net

Hats! This week I was thinking about hats. I don’t mean the hats we actually wear like my Kansas City Royals hat, my Washington Nation-als hat or even my Washington Redskins hat. I mean our figurative hats.

I wear a few hats during the month including my publisher hat, my chamber president hat, my Ro-tarian hat, my extension council hat and even last week I wore my 4-H photography teaching hat.

Small towns, as I noted in last week’s column, are a wonderful place with people that pitch in when needed in emergencies and tough times. The bottom line though is that in a small town there is only a set number of people who wear hats. You know who they are - they are at every fundraiser or event organizing the food; getting workers for the kitchen; or making sure there are enough cups, plates and napkins for every event.

Every town needs individuals to step up and help - or wear a hat so to speak. They need a steady influx of new hats to help keep the activities and events flowing and the town flourishing through either tourism or business growth - or both.

In the first half of this year our county has lost two individuals who wore numerous hats and accomplished many great things. In this instance people will step up to the plate and wear new hats to pitch in and try to get things accomplished (as witnessed by the outpouring of support for 4-H Camp). However, what the town needs is for some new people to start to wear a hat. It can be scary. It can be overwhelming. But it can also be fun. The fellowship and camaraderie of meeting and helping your fellow citizens is exhilarating.

Now I don’t mean that you jump in with both feet and suddenly wear multiple hats running two or three committees... I believe that you start slow, with maybe a head-band. Try to join an event as a helper, as part of the worker class. This way you can see how the ‘hats’ run the event and how they easily direct all the efforts of the group. This was truly witnessed by the numerous headbands working at the highly success-ful Relay For Life of Monroe County this past weekend. There were definitely hat wearers but the headband wearers were out in full force.

Now that you have worn a headband, work your way into the planning stages of an event or activity and graduate to a visor. With a visor you have advanced to a bigger effort with additional responsibility. There is no age limit on any of these pieces of headgear. The three ladies of Barking Butterfly Bakery are a prime example of that, though young they are all hat wears of the first class.

To sum up in a nutshell, get involved any way you can. Not only does your town need it - you can also benefit from the experience. Who knows, in a few months you can look into your closet and have to decide what hat you are going to wear that day.

Have a great week!

Last week Rodney King was found dead in the swimming pool at his home in Los Angeles. He was 47 years old. Mr. King received a severe beating by LAPD officers in 1991 after he refused to stop for officers after a speeding and DWI incident. The acquit-tal of the officers charged in the case set off the Los Angeles riots of 1992 that killed 50 people, injured many others and did over $1 billion in damages.

As the riot was building and the National Guard was called out to keep the peace and restore order, a very nervous and emotional Rodney King is interviewed and utters his simple but seemingly heartfelt question “Can we all just get along?” The question was repeated over and over and became at once a serious plea for reason and peace in the midst of social hatred and violence but also the butt of jokes and scorn depending on which corner you gathered with your friends.

After his short and unintentional moments of fame and request for an end to the vio-lence, Rodney King’s later mentions in the news were some unfavorable incidents or run-ins with the law. His most recent reflections on the events of 1991 and 1992 were on how he was viewed as heroic in some quarters and with hatred and deserving of a severe beating by others.

He recalls being mocked by some for calling for peace as some kind of fool. Rodney King was no fool nor was he a hero. Rather he was an unfortunate and troubled man who without guile or hidden meaning asked a simple question that deserved an answer. Rodney King is gone, the answer to the question confined to the hearts and minds of those that try to do the right thing Can we all get along? Of course we can, but will we and when?

On Wednesday, June 20, the Paris Lions Club installed new officers of the Paris Lions Club. Although not all of the 37 Paris Lions Club members were present, a large group of Lions Members and sev-eral wives and special guests were present to watch the installation of officers for the New Lion Year for 2013.

Before the installation took place, President Charles Herron present-ed the Lion of the Year award to Don Williams. Lion Williams, a

charter member, was chosen by fellow Lions due to his active ser-vice and attendance . He became the first Lion in the Paris club’s history to have grandsons, Brett and Clark Morgan, join the Lions Club.

The club also installed new of-ficers for the new year at the meet-

ing. Lion Bob McKenny is the clubs new president with Lion Ron Childers and Lion Don Williams elected as his vice presidents. De-licious chicken was enjoyed by a large crowd of Lion members and their guests.

On June 8 and 9, the Paris high school football team attended a full contact camp in Fayette, on the campus of Central Methodist University. There were nine teams competing at the camp. They scrim-maged against teams that were much larger in size and numbers. Teams like Lindbergh (6A) Fort Zumwalt North(5A), School of the Osage(3A), California(3A), Sullivan(4A), Der-rick Thomas Academy, South Callaway(2A), and Duchesne High(4A) out of St. Charles. We were by far the smallest school and had the fewest players attending. For example Lindbergh had 69 players attending, and Paris had 12 players attending. All but one other school had over 30 players attending. Paris could have used the size factor as an excuse or be intimidated, but they did neither, they played with heart and passion. Paris sustained a couple of injuries the first day. One of the in-juries was serious enough the player could no longer participate; now they were down to 11 players. Paris could have packed their bags and called it quits and went home and no one would have blamed them, but they were there to play football and that is exactly what they did. Paris played 15 scrimmages in 2 days with great courage and enthusiasm.

Central Methodist Head Football Coach Alan Dykens had this to say about the Paris Coyotes. “I was very impressed with your team. They are a team that improved probably more

Paris Coyote Football Team Attends Central Methodist Full Contact Camp

than any other team at the camp. The toughness and aptitude of your play-ers was one that no other team could match. Each of your players needed to go every snap on both sides of the ball and they did this without hesita-tion. You have a great thing going there at Paris and I believe that your team is going in the right direction in every aspect. I look forward to watching and seeing the Paris Foot-ball Team continue to grow together for years to come.”

This is a great compliment from Coach Dykens, and one that is very well deserving. These young men

stepped up in a big way, they are warriors.

The community of Paris is very proud of these young men, if you are or know someone who wants to join this fine group of young men on the football team this fall please contact Coach Gary Crusha, at Paris High School.

Attending the camp were Paris Coyotes Zac Baladenski, Tim Jen-nings, August Hayhurst, Cole Berry, John DeOrnelis, Kyle Popkes, Aus-tin Coffman, Corey Court, Brendon Hancock, Briar Hancock, Tucker Gruber and John Turner.

Sixty-three FFA members from across the state participated in the Missouri FFA Public Speaking Academy held June 5, 6 and 7, on the University of Central Missouri campus.

The Missouri FFA made it pos-sible for FFA members to benefit from the professional staff at Uni-versity of Central Missouri.

During the three-day event, FFA members used the Internet and other communication technology to develop and refine an effective speech. Dr. Terry Cunconan, Dr. Wendy Geiger, Dr. Sam Cox and graduate students from the Univer-sity’s Speech Communication De-partment conducted the three days of intense learning. The academy

was designed to help FFA mem-bers increase their confidence, develop organizational skills, use language effectively, analyze audi-ences and improve speaking skills by judging themselves honestly and critically -- while keeping a positive attitude. Each student pre-sented his or her speech in com-petition at the conclusion of the academy.

Why Attic Ventilation Matters

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

Proper attic ventilation is important, especially for homes located in climates where snow and ice dams are common. Take advantage of summer weather to inspect your home for adequate attic ventilation and make necessary repairs or improvements.

A well-ventilated attic helps expel warm air and refresh it with cool-er outside air. The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) says proper air circulation can help:

Remove excess heat and moisture from attics to prevent condensa-tion that could lead to mold and mildew, structural damage and ice dams during winter.

Reduce the average air temperature inside an attic during summer.Maintain the manufacturer’s warranty on some asphalt shingle sys-

tems.Types of Attic VentsAttic ventilation recommendations range from 1 square foot of ven-

tilation for every 150 square feet of attic space to 1 square foot for every 300 square feet. According to the NRCA, a common way to vent asphalt roofs is with non-powered or “passive” ventilation that balances air intake with air exhaust. Common passive vents include:

Ridge vents. Exhaust vents installed along the roof’s peak that are either covered by shingles or exposed along the ridgeline.

Static vents. Individual protected exhaust vents installed near the roof’s ridge.

Gable vents or wall louvers. Exhaust vents placed in walls at gabled ends of an attic that can function as both intake and exhaust vents.

Wind turbine vents. Exhaust vents that use wind power to turn an internal fan, drawing hot air from the attic. Compared to static vents, these can increase the rate at which air is expelled, depending on wind speed.

Soffit vents. Continuous or individual vents installed along an attic’s soffits or eaves. Soffit vents should never be blocked by insulation.

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has awarded the Ralls County city of Perry a $292,000 low-interest loan for wastewater improvement projects, including replacement of a sag-ging outfall pipe that limits the discharge and affects disinfection, and repair or replacement of 2,900 feet of sanitary sewer collec-tion system. Funding for the loan comes from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, which provides significant funding to assist com-munities with their wastewater in-frastructure needs.

By choosing to obtain a low-in-terest loan from the Department of Natural Resources, Perry will save more than $111,000 over the life of the loan. A portion of the fund-ing will be targeted toward green infrastructure, wastewater and energy efficiency, and environ-

mentally innovative projects. This funding will help the city protect residents and the environment by making necessary wastewater im-provements.

The Department of Natural Re-sources’ Water Protection Program will administer the loan funds. The department is committed to work-ing closely with communities to assist with funding efforts that sup-port water and wastewater infra-structure improvements projects as well as provide a financial savings.

For more information, contact the department’s Water Protection Pro-gram, Financial Assistance Center, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0176 or call 800-361-4827 or 573-751-1192 or visit the depart-ment’s website at dnr.mo.gov/env/wpp/srf.

Along Life’s Highways and Byways

by Jere Nelson

Editor’s Note: In a multi-part article the history and current use of the Perry Presbyterian Church will be covered in detail.

According to paperwork sup-plied by new owner Jere Nelson, the Perry Presbyterian Church was organized at a meeting of Presby-tery held at Paris, Missouri, April 8, 1881. This action came about at the request of the congregations of the Mt. Prairie Presbyterian Church (organized April 9, 1831) and the Lick Creek Presbyterian Church (organized 1839) who had petitioned for a merger of the two churches at separate Congrega-tional Meetings held Sunday, Jan. 9, 1881. There were 125 charter members of the new church.

The first church building was built on the lot where the present church now stands. The members of the Building Committee were: H. H. Brown, James A. Gallaher, R. G. Hanna, W. I. McElroy, D. B. Poage, J. H. Underwood, and J. W. Underwood. Lillie Womack, Flor-ence Underwood, and T. T. Rogers were the committee appointed to select the carpet, chandeliers, and probably the pulpit and chairs. T. I. Rogers made the cushion or top for the pulpit. The pews of var-nished hardwood from the Lick Creek Church were used. There was no musical instrument and James A. Gallaher was song lead-er. On November 4, 1881, enough money was borrowed to finish the frame structure which was the first church erected in Perry.

The first minister was Rever-end C. W. Humphrey, who served from May 1, 1882 to May 10, 1885. There was a very good Sun-day School from the start of the church in 1881. Children in town from other denominations came and everyone seemed interested in lending a helping hand.

In 1883 the women of the church decided to form a society to make money to provide better seating.

The society was known as the La-dies Aid and Mrs. Victoria Hanna served as President. When the new chairs were bought (the ones now in the balcony) the Ladies Aid contributed $500 toward that purchase. Later the pulpit chairs and carpet were also bought by the women’s organization which was renamed the Missionary Society. In 1912 it became the Women’s Auxiliary and later the Women of the Church. The Auxiliary was organized into circles in 1921 by Mrs. C. F. Richmond of Paris, Missouri.

On August 30, 1921, officers of

the church began a canvas for the erection of a new building.

The pastor of the church dur-ing this time was Reverend H. T. Guthrie.

Wallace L. Bond was given the contract to build the church. Ex-cavation for the basement was begun May 18, 1922. Cornerstone Services were held September 3,

1922. The church was built at a cost of $40,000 and was dedicated, debt free, Sunday, May 20, 1923, with Reverend J. Overton Reavis, a son of the church and Secretary of Foreign Missions of the General Assembly

Part II - New ownership and a new beginning

Santa Fe Christian Church Pastor Kenny Sharp

The worship service of June 24, for the Perry Christian Church began with the introit by Cheri Provancha, “In My Heart Rings a Melody”. Cullen Dye and Jim Gay were greeters.

Pastor Todd welcomed guests, announcements and the Call to Wor-ship.

The Schutte family extended their thanks for us participating in the ben-efit for Jacob.

Carol Norman also thanked everyone for their help. “Great Is the Lord” was sung in praise.“I Am Praying For You” was the prayer hymn. Frankie Ross, David and

Leah Berry were on our concern list. Joe Ben Todd asked for prayers for the families of two friends of his that died in a car accident.

Pastor Todd’s meditation for sharing the Lord’s Supper preceded singing “Blessed Redeemer”. Jill Lewellen and Greg Harrison served as elders. Deacons were Carol Norman, Anthony Elam, Tom Hurley and Jesse Todd.

The Children’s Moment taught by Jeannie Gay was about God’s Love.

Mark 4:35-41 was read by Shirley Levings for the pastor’s sermon on “Crossing to the Other Side”. Jesus blessed his disciples as he blesses us. He sends a sense of peace and calmness to us.

People who are afraid can be inspired by our faith and actions and be-come aware that God has something great for us that is yet to come.

“Softly and Tenderly” was the invitation hymn. “Revive Us Again” followed the benediction.

The new board members and budget was passed at the congrega-tional meeting that followed at the close of the service.

Granville Christian Church sermon on July 1 will be “Independent and Dependent.”

Approximately 35 people from Granville Church participated in the Monroe County Relay for Life last Saturday night. The grocery cart give-away was won by Putnam Tires.

The quarterly evening board meeting will be July 11, at 7 p.m.Plans are underway for a Saturday evening-Sunday morning Vacation

Bible School Saturday evening, July 21, and Sunday morning July 22. The theme will be Rocky Point Lighthouse; the motto will be “Shine God’s Light!”

Please contact Brenda Coffman with names of soldiers in the combat zone and/or donations for supplies for our care packages. Our upcom-ing schedule: Worship at 11 a.m., on the first, third and fifth Sundays (July 1, 15 and 29). Sunday School for all ages is held at 10 a.m. every Sunday. Come as you are and share time with God.

The Paris Presbyterian Church held worship service Sunday, June 24, Patti Grimmett served as the organist. She led us into worship service with, “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.” Pastor John Grimmett led the call to worship from Psalm 118. Next there was a time for passing the peace and greeting one another. Pastor John Grimmett gave the an-nouncements and led the pastoral prayer and The Lord’s Prayer.

Pastor John Grimmett delivered the message, “Waking Our Savior.” The message was based on scripture reading from Mark 6:35-41. The closing hymn was, “How Great Thou Art.” The benediction response was, “My Faith Looks Up to Thee.” Patti Grimmett led us out of worship service with, “To God Be the Glory.”

The Paris Presbyterian Church will hold worship service next Sun-day, July 1. Adult Sunday school begins at 9:30 a.m., Children’s Sun-day School begins at 10 a.m., followed by worship service at 10:45 a.m. Anyone is welcome to attend.

On June 24, our focus for this week is “Do you Love: what you are doing, who you are, and where you are?” Imagine a crowd of people, wondering around aimlessly: with no sense of purpose, no dreams, no long term plans. Think about that person who greets you in the mirror each day...does that person have dreams of worth in their heart? Scripture teaches us that where there is no vision, the people perish (Proverbs 29:18). We are to have dreams and aspira-tions for the future. But what about the present: the here and now? How comfortable are we in our own skin? The Apostle Paul noted that it is good to be content in whatever state we are in (Phil 4:4). No matter what the circumstance, we should be happy to be whom and where we are.

It is somewhat difficult to convey, but we seldom appreciate our-selves: we don’t act thankful for the lives God has given us. We far too easily lose sight of the fact that God gave us life, and promised it “abundantly” as we obey His statutes. We cannot in this lifetime fully appreciate the gift of life, let alone the blessings and challeng-es that accompany. But the closer we come to a fuller appreciation, the better our quality of life will become. Our outlook on life will provide impetus for accomplishment beyond our dreams. Scripture tells us, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man. The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” I Cor 2:9). If we can put our trust in God rather than self, we shall do well. We can become content with where and whom we are, and love of life will be full and rich.

Paris Full Gospel Fellowship Pastor Terry Davison

On June 24, church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church meetings of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. Announcements included the Mountianair’s will sing at Monroe Manor in Paris on July 9, at 7 p.m. and at Clarence Care Center on July 30, at 7 p.m., youth volunteers for the Summer Feed a Child Program will have a swim party after volunteering on Friday. We will also collect food items for the Feed a Child Program. We will have the Lord’s Supper next week. There will be a 4th of July celebration at the church on the 4th.

This week’s message was titled “Abiding in Christ” and came from John 15:1-11. Jesus is the only true source of Christian strength. To re-ceive this strength we must stay connected to Jesus for we can do noth-ing without Him. It is a privilege to be able to share life with Jesus. With this privilege comes the responsibility of abiding in Him. Do not let the things of the world come in between you and Jesus.

Kathy Miller’s organ prelude was, “His Name is Wonderful”. Charles Ensor gave the invocation.

BIG NEWS: Bible School was an amazing success. There were 91 enrolled and six people made a profession of faith.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Wednesday, June 27, ladies salad supper at the Methodist church, 6:30 p.m.; Thursday, June 28, blood drive from 1- 6 p.m. in Carter Hall.

Donna Turner gave the children’s sermon. In the Bible, Peter and John, you know the disciples, some of Jesus’ helpers, went to the tem-ple to pray. There was a crippled man at the gate. He sat on a mat and begged. He asked Peter and John for money. They in turn gave him the gift of healing. He received a greater gift than money, he could now walk. The man jumped around and praised God. God always knows what is best for us. God will always help us get through tough times.

Steve Ensor gave the Call to Worship from Psalm 96; During the Per-sonal Worship – quiet time – Brenda Ensor played a piano solo, “I’d Rather Have Jesus”. Brenda Vaughn and Mac Wilt sang a duet, “My Heart is Filled With Thankfulness”.

Wesley Hammond gave prayer for Christians who serve around the world as missionaries.

His sermon was entitled “Godliness in Perspective” from Act 3:1-26. Peter and John went for prayer at the temple. The lame man was at the temple gate called Beautiful. He was begging and asked them for money. Peter replied, “I have neither silver nor gold, but what I have, I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the ‘Nazarene’, get up and walk!” The man was helped up and instantly his feet and ankles be-came strong. What if it were today? Would we be ready to be available to allow God to work through us? We should make ourselves available to give a blessing to those around us when God calls us to do so. We need to keep focused on God. Our actions should draw attention to Jesus. Someone around us may need a miracle. People God loves are all around us and God may want us to help. In Verse 25, Paul tells of God speaking to Abraham, “In your seed all the families of the earth will be blessed.”

On June 24, the congregation of Holliday Christian Church gathered and welcomed special visitor, Mike Haliburton. Services were opened with the prelude by organist, Jane Akers, and welcome from Reverend David Holmes.

The church will host a homemade ice cream and cake supper and politi-cal candidate speaking on Friday, July 6, beginning at 6 p.m. The annual meeting will be held on Sunday evening, July 15, with the meal shared at 6 p.m. An Hour of Prayer is being held on Sunday, July 1, at 7:30 p.m. at the Paris Fairgrounds.

Happy birthday was sung to: Riley Griffith and Chance McCarty. The opening hymn, “Holy, Holy, Holy” was sung and was followed by pasto-ral prayer and “Gloria Patri”.

The children gathered near Reverend Holmes at the front of the sanc-tuary for the children’s sermon. A small boat was used to illustrate the story of Jesus and the disciples in the boat. As a terrible storm raged, Jesus spoke to calm the seas as He calms our lives in troubled times by entering our hearts through prayer.

Prayer concerns were expressed for: Rebecca Hultz, Brenda Coffman, Ray Forbis and for Paula Delaney’s mother, Mary. Safe travels wishes were extended to T. J. and Brandi Kinnaman and their family. Reverend Holmes again expressed appreciation for all the acts of kindness follow-ing his accident and Lysa’s surgery.

“Sweet Hour of Prayer” was the prayer hymn. Singing was followed by moments of silent meditation as the final verse was played and then pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer. The communion hymn, “Bread of Heaven” was sung as elders and deacons went forward and offered prayers for the symbols of Jesus’ broken body. Prayer and the doxology followed the sharing of communion and collection of of-ferings.

Reverend Holmes’ morning message was entitled “It’s All in the Tim-ing”. Scripture from Second Corinthians 6:1-13 was referenced for the message.

The hymn of invitation and dedication, “The Light of the World is Je-sus” was sung. Pastoral prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” closed morning worship.

To open Bible Study, Sandy Callison shared a reading entitled “Pres-sure Praying Wins Over”. Jim McMorris then led the group in prayer and in study and discussion of Matthew 17.

All are welcome and encouraged to attend worship; regular services are held at 9:30 a.m. with Bible Study following at 10:30 a.m., each Sunday.

“JOY” was the title of Pastor Kenny Sharp’s sermon with the scripture text taken from John 10:10. You will have joy in yourself when you know who you are in Jesus Christ. With Him we have the keys to Heaven and that is everything to a Christian. God has great plans for each one of us -- which will happen in His timing. Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus Christ gives us life to live to the fullest. DO NOT let Satan steal your joy!

Dawn Peak gave the children’s sermon and started by putting on shoul-der pads, helmet and holding a golf club. We are to put on the armor of God and stand firm. The pads, helmet and golf club are not what protects us -- it’s the Word of God, the Bible. She read to them from Ephesians 6:11 - 17. Stand firm in your belief and do not sway from it.

Prayers were requested for John Carver, James A Booth, Anna Spires, Donald Johnson, Frances Thomas, Mike, Wendy & Shane Umstattd, Aus-tin Chase, Gene Hagen, Tom East, Issac and Mandi Dreisewerd, Mary Utterback, Kathy Laird, Barbara Ensor, Bobbie Wisdom and Madison Wheelan while at camp this week, all families for protection from satan, and silent prayer requests. Praises were expressed for John Bergthold’s doctor appointment in Texas, Gay Bergthold’s mother’s 75th birthday next weekend, Declan Bush’s successful surgery, Darrel & Nancy Wilk-erson’s 29th wedding anniversary, Keith Woodhurst’s back improving since surgery, Karen Miller doing so well, and for Dean Calvin Edward feeling better. Traveling mercies were requested for Cassie & Luke Oli-vas and family. Everyone was thanked for the many cards Helen Sharp received for her birthday. A thank you note was read from Group Care for the recent donation made to the Kids to Kids Operation. Happy Birthday was sung to Clara Sessler.

Movie on the pad will be held Friday night, June 29, at dusk. Everyone is invited to attend. There will be no SALT Saturday event the following day, Saturday morning.

The Sunday, June 24 services at South Fork Presbyterian church be-gan with Patti Grimmett playing “My Faith Looks Up to Thee” on the piano followed by Pastor John Grimmett leading the Call to Worship from Psalms 118 and Debbie Carey leading in song to “Blessed Assur-ance:, “Be Still My Soul”, Leaning On Jesus” and “God Be With You”.

Praises were for the new roof; Pastor John and Patti’s trip to Michi-gan; Bill Cearley doing better; Arla Eisenhower’s daughter, Angie bet-ter; welcome several grandson’s as visitors; prayer for little Madeline Rose and Mildred Millet all said the Lord’s Prayer and Prayer service will be held July 1, at 6 p.m. in the Paris Grandstand.

Pastor John and Patti played guitar as they sang “Because He Lives”The message “Waking Our Savior” was based on scripture from Mark

4:35-41, what happens during the times of trouble? Have you ever felt that God was not listening? Who is this Jesus? God’s son; our Lord and Savior; He is coming back for us! A man of miracles; Mark based his writing on the words of Peter; Jesus died for us on the cross and rose again - we face storms in our lives- when you are hurt - you are buffeted by the wind being tossed by the Waves es - your heart is broken - our lives are shipwrecked...Why does this happen? Because Christ is asleep in YOU - Jesus is not up in the clouds, His power, strength and truth is in YOU. Remember Him! We all have the power of God, wake Him Up within us. “Bad things happen to God’s people”. Pay attention to Jesus during your storm! Christ’s spirit lives in YOU! We all belong to the Lord!

The offertory was led by Kaylee Beckham and all sang the “Doxol-ogy”.

Patti played “God Will Take Care of You” as all retired in fellowship to Roth Hall for coffee and donuts.

Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are welcome and encouraged to come hear the word of the Lord.

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. Mark 4: 37.

The Paris First Christian Church is excited to invite everyone in the community to attend a 4th of July fundraiser at the fairgrounds. Brats, burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, chips, beans, desserts, water, and soda will be served with combo plates available. Serving will be from 5-9 p.m. and Karaoke will begin at 6 p.m. Fresh popcorn will be available during the fireworks. It will be a fun-filled time for all! Everyone is encouraged to come join the fun and to support this church fundraiser.

The church held a worship service on Sunday, June 24, with Rever-end Donna Scott officiating. Her morning message, on Jesus stilling the storm, was titled “A Perfect Storm,” and was based on Mark 4:35-41. A Moment for Relay for Life was given by Vanessa Forrest. Hope and Lainie Chandler reported on their summer church camp experiences.

Upcoming announcements include: Sunday, July 1 - Praise Sunday and Communion at Monroe Manor 3 p.m.; and Wednesday, July 4 - Office closed and the 4th of July BBQ Fundraiser at the fairgrounds.

The monthly Bible memory verse is: Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. John 6:47 (NRSV). The thought for the week is: God doesn’t promise a calm passage, but a safe landing.

Blessings and Greeting from FaithWalk Ministries where Bishop Harold G. Long is the Pastor.The June 24, Sunday Morning Services opened at 10:30 a.m., with the Choir singing “Emanuel”. Prayer was lead by Elder Helen Fugate fol-lowed by opening scripture read by Bro. Michael Thompson. The Choir rendered two more selections, “I Love You, Jesus” and “Just Let Him In”.

All change that God brings about is in our best interest in the long run and it has a purpose. We can’t only rely on old testimonies but we need to seek to find new experiences. Remember Change by God is gain.Reference Scriptures: Matt 6:33, 39, 76, Hebrews 2:7-10 and Colossians 3:10-17.May the blessing of the Lord be with you always!

The American Red Cross has an emergency need for blood donors of all blood types. In June, 50,000 fewer pints of blood were donat-ed than expected. Many people say they don’t give blood because they were not asked. Consider yourself asked! Give before you go on your Independence Day (July 4) holiday.

Blood and platelets are needed for all types of reasons. Patients like accident and burn victims,

•Light only one firework at a time.•Never re-light a “dud” firework

(wait 15 to 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water).

•Never give fireworks to small children.

•If necessary, store fireworks in a cool, dry place.

•Dispose of fireworks properly by soaking them in water and then disposing of them in your trash can.
