“What is that? Is that Tina Turner’s…home?” one inquiring resident said while pointing at the age weary, wooden one-story building movers were navigating into the West Heritage Delta Center last Friday.

“Oh no, that’s actually the elementary school Tina went to as a child,” answered Brownsville Mayor Jo Matherne.

She, among a who’s who of city and county residents were at the center, anticipating the move of

Tina’s old school.“Oh, well I’ll have to

come back when it’s open then,” the man said with a determined response.

His response of combined curiosity and amazement was shared with so many that June 1. Traveling from Highway 19 to the center at speeds no more than fi ve miles per hour, it wasn’t uncommon to have residents stop what they were doing and just simply watch. The balcony of Exit 56 hotels was littered with people stricken with a case of curious points and puzzled amazement.

And once the schoolhouse

had found its place next to Sleepy John Estes’ home, it probably gave a proper preview of the numerous camera hungry travelers.

Buildings get moved on the highways and roads of Haywood County all the time. But it’s not everyday that a piece of history linked to an international music legend rocks and rolls down the highways and bypasses.

Besides, the school has been a buzz worthy item ever since the city agreed to help fund its move in April.

While also being one of the few remaining African-

American schoolhouses in the county, and Turner’s grammar school, it’s also been linked to her family for quite sometime. The land the school was built on was bought from Benjamin Flagg in 1889. Flagg was a former slave who came from North Carolina after the Civil War. He was also the brother of George Flagg, Turner’s great-grandfather. The school closed in the 1960s and has since been used as a barn.

B.W.Y. Construction was the contractor in charge of the move, using the help of Harrison Movers from Lebanon, Tennessee. The

Flagg Grove School moves to Heritage Center

Relay For Life held its annual Survivors’ Luncheon Saturday, June 2 from 11:30am to 1 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church. After a welcome from local Relay For Life Chair Kenny Ellington, and an open prayer from Phillip Cook, attendees heard remarks, from Brownsville Mayor Jo Matherne as well as music from Blair Simpson.

It was also revealed that Camryn McKenzie Dirl is this year’s Relay For Life Honorary Chairperson.

The Survivor’s Luncheon also featured survivor stories from residents Greta Sanders and Mark McSwain. This year’s guest speaker was US Congressman Stephen Fincher.

While the Survivor’s Luncheon serves as a way to honor those who have fought against cancer, it’s also a prelude to the upcoming main event.

“Church isn’t where you meet. Church isn’t a building. Church is what you do. Church is who you are. Church is the human outworking of the person of Jesus Christ. Let’s not go to Church, let’s be the Church.”

--Bridget Willard

History

“When I think of New Hope, I think of the story of David and Goliath,” said speaker O’Daniel Outlaw. The preacher was a part of a list of special guests for New Hope Missionary Baptist Church Sunday, June 3.

Outlaw was comparing the church to the biblical tale to remark on its noticeable anniversary.

At 150 years, New Hope, can consider itself one of the oldest black churches in Haywood County. And given what the church has had to endure, it makes perfect sense to take account of the many Goliaths—race, time, money, and land—New Hope has battled to still be standing.

“It has been for 150 years that this church has been a sheep pen,” Outlaw said. “When I open the gate of New Hope, it makes me realize that God gave me

an education and means to better myself. I love coming back to the sheep pen and knowing that my beginnings are from New Hope.”

“For 150 years, God has been our provider,” Outlaw continued.

New Hope has quite the history.

In the 1800’s Rev. Press Sanders, who was born a slave in Virginia, came to Haywood County. He was initially a traveling missionary, who soon preached in an old mill, set on the ban of what is now known as Cypress Slough.

Eventually he gained enough support to organize

New Hope M.B. Church. He acquired enough lumber to build a small frame building. Sanders, along with his chosen deacons operated the church until this death. Rev. Samuel Anders took on the church briefl y before Rev. Jim

Taylor came in charge in 1897. Taylor had the church moved from Slough in the woods to the front on the side of the road known then as Bond and Ferry Road.

The church would go through some more adjustments after a series

crew had initially began moving the school last Thursday, May 31, Mike Youngblood of BWY said. But they had to delay the move by a day due to a change in moving truck and gaining a permit from TDOT to use the highways and roads.

Rest assured, these movers used delicate hands for the job.

“Seeing them work, I’ve noticed that they’ve been really careful and cautious with the building,” West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center Director Sonia Outlaw-Clark said.

For such an old building care and caution are great to have, especially

considering that building hasn’t gone through any dire renovations—with the exception of a painted roof and some leans—even while under its previous owners.

Local restaurateurs, Pam and Joe Stephens were the ones who donated the building to the center. It’s been in the Stephens’ family since the 1960s, when Joe’s father bought it from the county. The Stephens were faced with having to place an irrigation system on their property, which left them with the decision of either tearing it down or saving it. Fortunately for the center, they went with the

latter option.The buzz the building

has created has surprised Joe, he admitted. But it’s also made him optimistic about its restoration.

“At one point, I was unsure about the cost on renovations. But now, I think it’s only a matter of time,” he said.

Speaking of renovations, if you would like to help with the costs you can make a donation to the Friends Of The Delta Heritage Center. You can contact the Center at 731-779-9000, or donations can be made payable to the Friends of the Center, 121 Sunny Hill Cove, Brownsville, TN 38012.

of reverends in the early 1920s, when J.S. Burris was elected to lead, a bring the church through another signifi cant change.

Under Burris, the church’s site on the hill was changed for bottomland.

Burris, who would retire in 1941 and come back shortly later as the Executive Head of the Church and Pastor, provided New Hope with one of its most famous comparisons while moving the site: the ship of Zion, sailing the ocean of time while trying to make a safe landing.

“As she sails, he said, “she has to contend with the submarines of deceit, false pride, jealousy and selfi shness. But if the faithful Christians will throw into the water the bombs of love, prayer, unity and cooperation, they will serve to destroy these submarines and make it possible for the old ship (the church) to make it to the hill.”

There was much growth under Burris, from membership to church based organizations. In the 1950s, an educational

department was even completed.

Today, the church is under the leadership of Rev. Charles Thomas.

Community

In many small communities of the 19th and even early 20th century, the church was literally the focal point of the community. For those located in Bond Ferry Road, this notion still holds true.

As some of the older residents would tell you, especially during the early 1920s through 1950s, when it came to special days like the revivals, everyone in the community showed up. And yet, if one merely looks at the neighborhood structure of Bond Ferry Road, he or she can still see the impact.

New Hope member and Bond Ferry Road resident Thomas Miller points out that while the community may have began with New Hope, it eventually branched out as homes, and even an elementary school surrounded the church.

The small graveyard

behind the church plays host to so many late church members and Bond Ferry Road residents. There’s so many, in fact that the church still continues to identify numerous unmarked graves. Family names, like Ellison, Bond, Douglass, and Patton are a gateway to a complex family history.

And that’s not even counting the numerous members that have left Haywood County at some point.

“Many men and women from Haywood County and New Hope have gone out and made a historical mark,” Rev. Thomas said to the gathered crowd on Sunday, moments before Rev. and State Representative J.W. Shaw spoke.

And if you listened to city mayor Jo Matherne speak during the program, you’ll realize that it’s important to keep that history alive.

“Young people, this church has such a great legacy. Learn and build from it,” Matherne said. “And adults, be sure to teach young people this legacy.”

Susie E. Taylor., Nola Walker Bond., Mayme Bowles Dotson. or Eva James Davis Rawls.

Mentioning these four names to just about anyone in Haywood County will light up a special fl ame within residents. For the immense positive impact and awesome deeds these four women accomplished it’s to be expected.

A mere mention would lead into a heartfelt account or refl ection from people. And it’s that special fl ame Haywood County native Cynthia A. Bond Hopson PhD—daughter of Alvis M. Bond, John A. Bond Jr. Mr. and Mrs. Carey Bowles of the Douglass Community—is looking to collect for her

upcoming book.During her doctoral

studies at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, Hopson did research on professional American women in Haywood County.

Her work eventually steered her into looking at Haywood County women in the Civil Rights movement. Gradually, the work turned into “The Women of Haywood, Their Lives, Our Legacy,” two years worth of oral history interviews with Susie E. Taylor Ashworth, Nola Walker Bond, Mayme Bowles Dotson and Eva James Davis Rawls.

“I just kind of stumbled into it,” she said.

For Hopson, the opportunity to hear these powerful women’s stories greatly impacted her for the better.

“Listening to their life

about their family and their careers, I realized that they had to open really big doors,” she said. “And I had no excuse for not trying to do more.”

Hopson realized that these women have probably had a positive impact on so many others in the county, which is why she is seeking refl ections from friends, colleagues, neighbors and fans.

She is seeking entries that may be 300 words long or two legibly handwritten pages to be received by June 17. It is a nonprofi t venture.

The book will launch August 11.

If interested, you can email her at drhopson007@aol.com or send the information to 3033 Trice Place, Lebanon, TN 37087-0244.

Off the Beaten Path

Well, I survived Trenton’s fi rst ever, town wide yard sale with only minimum damage; two books, two small (5” high) plastic castles that open up to reveal even smaller interior rooms full of even smaller furniture, some of which, unfortunately, can be removed, and a tiny Gypsy wagon that also opens to reveal small, again removable, items, only one of which Grace and Margaret lost on the way to the car.

What is it about yard sales anyway? A retail business puts up a sign offering everything in the store at 70% off, and we don’t even blink as we speed by, but if we see a hand painted yard sale sign with the word “sale” misspelled we brake so hard we shift the entire contents of the back seat into the front fl oorboard. It’s as if the sign says, “Free hamburgers!”

And the stuff we fi nd when we do get out of the car! Some people seem to think they can take junk so old and outdated and worthless they can’t even give it away and sell it in their carports and front yards.

And guess what? They often can. Furthermore, sometimes when you sift through all that junk you fi nd something you’ve wanted all your life. Often for pocket change.

I guess that’s their appeal. There might be a fabulous treasure lurking among those old 8-track tapes, nearly new Thighmasters and VHS movies; a Tiffany lamp among the mayonnaise and mustard jars crammed into that dusty old diaper box.

Probably not, but you can never know until you look. I know a woman who once sold a complete set of Haviland china at a yard sale for just a few dollars.

“Why?” I gasped, when she told me about it.

“I didn’t know what it was,” she said, still bitter

about it. “My uncle gave it to me, but I didn’t know anything about china, and besides, I was into ironstone at the time.”

“Oh man,” I groaned.“I know,” she said with

a grimace. “I still can’t hear the word “Haviland” without getting upset.”

And there may be another set out there. But even if you don’t fi nd a fantastic buy, you may come across something you really, really want, but can’t fi nd anywhere, at a pittance usually, of its actual value. An old-fashioned waffl e iron or a multi disc CD changer, for example. Nobody wants stuff like that except people who do.

On this particular jaunt, Grace and Margaret, who refer to yard sales as “treasure hunts”, were looking for American Girl items, which almost never make their way to yard sales, and I was looking for something called a Puff Iron for my lovely wife.

Most people don’t know what a Puff Iron is, and I didn’t either until she told me she needed one and that they don’t make them any more.

One guy, when I asked him if he had one among several small electric appliances displayed on a precariously leaning card table, asked me if it was some kind of donut maker.

“No,” I said, now wishing I hadn’t inquired about it at all, “it’s a softball sized, egg-shaped metal sphere on a stand that you mount on your ironing board and use to press puffed sleeves on dresses with.”

“No,” he said, eyeing me warily. “I never seen anything like that.”

Me neither, but that’s

what I was looking for.I didn’t fi nd one. I did

fi nd a broken toaster oven for sale, (just the handle was broken, the owner claimed) several small kitchen utensils and something called an Eggstractor, still in the box, which allegedly will automatically and perfectly peel boiled eggs. I was tempted, but I passed on it, too.

And so it went. Nobody made any money off the three of us, and ultimately we came home with nothing to show for our adventure but the toys and the two books, one a Donna Parker girl sleuth mystery for Grace and Margaret and a fi ve-year-old Harbrace Handbook grammar manual, each of which I picked up for a dollar. I’ve already got four or fi ve Harbrace Handbooksin various editions, but this one is supposed to be for writers. Originally a college textbook, it still had the university bookstore’s yellowed price tag on it, a jaw dropping $68.00. (What an unbelievable, some would say immoral, racket college has become in America.)

But otherwise, we came up empty. Treasures are getting harder and harder to fi nd at yard sales thanks to eBay and Antiques Roadshow.

So does that mean I will never go to another yard sale, ever? I won’t until I see the next hand lettered sign nailed to a tree beside a rickety old table full of junk surrounded by four or fi ve boxes full of stuff on the ground. Who knows, one of those boxes just might have something in it I just don’t need at all but just can’t live without.

It’s like the lottery; you can’t win if you don’t play.

We seem to be smack dab in the middle of the homecoming season. Generally speaking, homecoming festivities continue on into October.

I love all h o m e c o m i n g s , especially those that hold a very special place in my upbringing.

One such homecoming takes place this coming Saturday (June 9) in Haywood County at Stanton. The Stanton Homecoming is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. at the old school building located between the Baptist and Methodist Churches. A catered fellowship meal will be served at Noon. There will also be a memorial service recognizing those who have passed away since the last reunion.

There will be plenty of time for fellowship and conversation as well as an opportunity to renew old acquaintances and even make old friends and new acquaintances.

Although I wasn’t born or reared in Stanton, it does hold a special place in my heart. Prior to about 1967, I had spent very little time and made very few trips to Stanton.

That all changed when I met my late wife who had established roots in Stanton where she spent much of her early childhood with her maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Timbes.

My closest relationship on a more personal

basis regarding Stanton started blooming in 1968 shortly after Carol and I were married. Mama Timbes was growing older by then and Carol paid closer attention to her.

Sometimes, it meant spending several nights a week staying in Stanton with her. I was working in Brownsville at the time and could easily travel back and forth to work. It was about the same distance from our home in the Bottom to Brownsville.

It was during those years that friends were made with a number of the Stanton folks who accepted me with open arms. Carol, of course, didn’t need an introduction.

Practically every one of the store fronts along Main Street were occupied at the time and business appeared to be good.

As I recall those years while living part time in Stanton, my fi rst introduction to Stanton folks were the business men and women.

After arriving in Stanton from work, I couldn’t wait to take my daily walk down the Main Street. My journey would always begin with a stop at Garnett and Bledsoe General Mercantile. It was there that I met my fi rst of the Stanton business folks, Francis Garnett and Rabbit Bledsoe. It was also there that I met Tom Freeland who was a frequent visitor at

the store. They quickly fi lled me in with a lot of Stanton history and a little gossip.

My daughter eventually joined me with my daily strolls downtown. One of her favorite stops was at Jones Caldwell’s Drug Store. Of course, he had several drawing cards when it came to children and adults like me. He had the best ice cream that money could buy and she thought he was so cool.

There were so many others that I remember that were truly great Stanton ambassadors that included the likes of Bill and Mary Lou Manus, Ed Peeler, and the folks at Harris Dry Good Store.

One of my most precious memories came when I was invited to preach at the Stanton Presbyterian Church. I can’t fi nd the words to describe the feeling that day standing in the pulpit of that old historical church.

These are only a few of the many memories of Stanton that I hold dear and sweet. I’m sure many of you will be sharing your stories this coming Saturday (June 9). Remember, the festivities start at 11:00 o’clock with a catered lunch to be served at Noon at the old school/lodge building located between the Baptist and Methodist churches.

For more information, call Mrs. Woods at (731) 548-6192.

A good time in the old town

150 years.Can you picture that?

Living 150 years?I mean I realize that

thanks to advances in science and health, people are gaining longer lives even though there are also a million more ways to lose it.

Checks and balances I suppose.

But anything that’s able to survive for that amount of time is incredible to me. They say that the longer you survive, the more stories you have to tell. I believe this to be true, especially if you’re New Hope M.B. Church.

The church recently celebrated its 150th anniversary last Sunday, which, hopefully, you’ll take the time to read about.

There were so many odds and reasons for this long-living black church to not even make it a year. And yet, 150 years later, and I’m even able to talk about it.

Interviewing some of the wise, old people here in Haywood County, they’ve been able to paint this picture of the church serving as the true focal point of a community.

It’s kind of like a seed. It becomes planted and with enough growth and support, you’ve suddenly got a community that surrounds it. Neighborhoods thrive. Businesses pop up. And schools educate the local children. Yet, no matter how far the branches reach or twist, everything still comes back to the church.

In a sense, I think we’ve still got that. And yet, in another we really don’t.

Sure, in Haywood County, we say that we hold the church in high regards, and will even brandish our marked calendars to show every Sunday and special revival or event we’ve

appeared. But is the church still truly the seed of the community?

I don’t know.There are other actions

and agendas from people that seems to point otherwise. Maybe, the branches have become too expanded and twisted from the seed.

Well, in any case, Happy Birthday to New Hope.

A long celebration

Hillville - Eurekaton NewsI would like to remind

everyone to come out on Saturday, for a fun fi lled afternoon and evening of great family fun while supporting a good cause at the Haywood County Relay for Life. Don’t forget it will be on the court square. Hope to see you there. The opening ceremony will begin at 1pm.

Harmony Baptist Church will have their annual Homecoming on Sunday, June 10 beginning at 11:00AM.

Everyone is invited to Mt. Pleasant UMC for a singing along with Bethlehem Baptist Church of Whiteville will unite on Sunday, June 10 at 6 PM. Refreshments will follow.

Krystle, Mama (Olivia Watson) and I went to the fl ea market and farmers market in Jackson on Saturday.

Billie Kirkland, Barbara Hayes, Sandy Campbell, Sue Goodman and I attended the Barnett’s Homecoming at Allen Baptist Church on Saturday evening, June 2. The Joylanders and Living Truth also sang. The Dill’s and Blood Bought were also in attendance but did not perform. There were fi ve pastors in attendance. Rev. Ricks ended the Homecoming celebrations leading the attendees in singing “When We All

Get to Heaven”. It was an awesome night of praise.

Sunday afternoon, Travis, Krystle and I along, with Randy and Sue Goodman, Logan Wilburn, Keith, Kaleb and Alex Goodman and Sherry and Alyssa Allen bikes around O’Neil Lake. We were also joined by some friends of Alex Goodman. Phillip and Aleta Bradford stopped by for a visit as were fi nishing up our ride.

Birthday wishes to Patsy Hardister, Sonny Stuart, Wilkes Wateridge, Emma Lee Watson, Haydon Qualls, Anna Goodman and Betty Spain.

In closing, our Thought for the week is “Looking for direction? Follow the cross.” For centuries travelers have navigated by the stars to fi nd their way and in today’s world travelers use GPS. Christians have been given even a more reliable navigation system --the bible. If we read its stories

and live by its wisdom the Bible will guide us to follow the cross day by day. God gives us the power, courage and wisdom as tools to use in our daily walk of faith.

If you have news to share, please call me at 772-1885, after 5:00 p.m.

Until next week....God bless.

“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9:18Jesus’ hearers knew full well what it meant to be crucifi ed. They had all probably seen a condemned man being led through the

streets carrying the very instrument of his execution. Simply put, to take up the cross is to die. It was always a one-way trip.We may think, “we all have our cross to bear,” when assessing hard times in life. Yet, this is not how the original hearers would have

understood Jesus’ words. They knew he was talking about dying. He was saying, “Take up your electric chair…” Christ is speaking of loss of one’s life in service to Him.

Its as if Jesus is standing at the door of the room you are in saying, “Come follow me, but you may never see your family again. You may never have worldly comforts again. Your life will belong to me.”

Would you go?

Crestview News

Dr. Mark McSwain preached a powerful sermon Sunday morning at Zion with focus on, “Look at the world through the eyes of faith.” He used II Kings 6:8-16 for the main text, followed by several other Scripture passages.

Thanks to David Conway for leading the music in Rad’s absence and to all the VBS leaders that helped decorate for Bible School which began Monday morning.

Later in the evening approximately one-hundred members and guests gathered with Brother Mark, Dottie, and Matthew at the old Tritt home (their local home as interim) for a cookout and time of fellowship. This was the fi rst of the June series, “Fellowship Matters.” Next Sunday night the theme will be, “Others Matter” and then on Father’s Day the emphasis will be on “Family Matters.”

Zion had some high-fl ying fun Wednesday night with the kick-off for Vacation Bible School. About thirty-fi ve children pre-registered and enjoyed hamburgers, hotdogs, and all the trimmings, as well as lots of games and fellowship. Thanks to VBS Director Robin Johnson for planning and congratulations to

her on her new job with Haywood Parks and Recreation. She had her hands full beginning a new job and planning VBS at the same time, but she did an excellent job!

The men’s community prayer breakfast attendance picked back up according to Allen Outlaw. He reported seven attended with a testimony sharing time. If anyone would like to join this faithful group of men, they meet Thursday mornings at 6:00 in Zion’s family life center.

We enjoyed having the Rainey’s (Billy, Becky, Luke, Ethan, Micah, and Lyla) come down from Murfreesboro to spend the night Friday night. Justin, Britany, and Alivia came over after visiting the Memphis Zoo and all went to see Mason and Lillie’s ballgames. Seven of our eight grandchildren spent the night and attended Alivia’s second birthday party Saturday. Mason had a ballgame and couldn’t attend, but he won his game! Everyone had a great time of catching up while they were together.

Becky was delighted to see Diana Martin who told her that she reads this column to keep up with her family. I also ran into Bobby and Lynette Pratt

at the ballgame with granddaughter Riley Barr. Her mom Tammy was a huge part in selling our house on Dr. Hess to the Butterworths.

Sarah Conway fl ew in for Hannah’s graduation and piano recital Saturday night. Several other friends and family members from out of town attended as well. Lisa said everything was pretty and pink. Congratulations Hannah, all of Zion is proud of you and your accomplishments!

Mama attended the “Relay for Life” luncheon Saturday and was surprised when our Pastor Mark McSwain was the guest speaker! She then went with Belinda to the Barnett’s homecoming at Allen where several others from Zion were present.

Don’t forget! Zion’s seniors will meet at the Brownsville Family Restaurant on June 12th at 11:00 for lunch. See Elsie Haynes if you have questions.

Please, continue to pray for our sick folks as well as our military personnel and their families, the shut-ins, those who have lost loved ones, and the leaders of our country.

Call me at 772-4257 or email me at phillipsd6@k12tn.net if you have news. People want to know!

Thank you volunteers for coming this week: Christ Temple ladies, Rev. Charles Bates, First Assembly of God Church ladies, IMI Rev. C.N. Ricks, Mrs. Mary Barkens, Bingo ladies, and Ms. Ana Waller.

We welcome Mr. Henry “Dewey” Jones to our Facility and hope he enjoys his stay with us.

Our residents’ birthday

party will be June 7 at 2 p.m. For all the residents born in June. Everyone is invited to come and help the celebrate.

Our residents enjoyed Movie afternoon on Wednesday. They watched, “We Bought a Zoo.” Everyone seemed to enjoy this animal fun movie with fresh popped popcorn and juice for refreshments.

It’s hard to believe this is the fi rst week of June. Wow, were did the time go? Soon we will be talking about Christmas; it’s going by so fast.

Our resident of the month for June is Mrs. Mary Johnston. Congratulations to Mrs. Mary.

Thought for the week: Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is good medicine.

Here it is June and half the year is gone. Where does the time go? We do have a few birthdays in this month: Sue Sweat, 6-6; Darrell Climer, 6-16; Laura Kendrick, 6-17; and my daughter, Dana Coulston, 6-18. Happy birthday, y’all! Charlie and Debbie Greenway spent a few days in Gatlinburg last week. While there they toured the Aquarium, a pepper store and did a lot of eating. I would like to say “thank you” to all the volunteers that made the Bradford

School reunion a success. Approximately 200 people attended. Also, thank you to all that had old pictures and shared them with everyone. A group picture was taken, so if you want one, contact me at 772-3183. Some people had really changed and others had not changed at all! The weather was perfect, which made the day better. Richard, Mary Beth and Jesse Scott attended services at Bethel Community Church last Sunday.

Afterwards, everyone gathered at the home of Ricky and Betty Scott for a cookout. Patricia Herron attended the bridal shower for Maggie Fullwood, bride-elect of B.J. Brown, given by the ladies of Zion Methodist Church on Sunday afternoon. Their wedding date is July 7. B.J. is the son of Jan Cleek and grandson of Mary Frances Trottman.

Thought for the week: Success is getting what you want; Happiness is wanting what you get.

Holly Grove News“Cemetery Day” was

observed Sunday. A prior music director, Brennan Uthey, once asked if we shouldn’t call is something else. But, it’s an appropriate name for the day we honor and commemorate those who have gone before.

Rev. Frank Kemper, a son on the Holly Grove Community and church brought the message, taken from Isa. 32:1-2 where it prophesied the coming of the King of Kings, the Lord Jesus. Brother Frank recalled that he had met a number of celebrities, but had never met a president of the U.S., but he had met the King of all Kings, the Savior and Lord. Queen Victoria once declared, “When I see the Lord, I will cast my crown at his feet.” The day is coming when every knee will bow to the King of Glory. Never has there been a man like Jesus. When the storms of life are gathering, Jesus is there to shelter those who turn to Him.

Prior to the message, Rebekah Hopper and Casey Long performed a drama on the upcoming

VBS at Holly Grove Church. The choir sang the special music, directed by Brother Ralph Brown. Following the morning worship services, everyone gathered in the family life center for a delicious potluck, buffet meal together.

Lorie Jones was very excited, when busy at her work at McDonald’s Saturday, who walked in the door, but Jim Bob Duggar and 4 of his sons. To those who are unfamiliar with the Duggar family, they have a weekly TV program, “Nineteen Kids and Counting.” They were returning from Nashville on their way home to Springdale, Ark and stopped at Brownsville McDonalds. The other family members were in a bus outside. Lorie recognized the father the second he stepped into the door and greeted him and talked to the boys. She was so excited. They are a Christian family. The mother gave birth to all of them and she home-schools them.

Happy birthday to Jared Barrow, Lynn Haak,

Roy McCage II, David Peace, Makayla Hendrix, Melissa Houy, Ashley Cathey, Alysen Perry and Ernest O’Neal. Brother Fred and Nancy Campbell celebrated 40 years of married life Sunday.

Those on the sick list this week are Betty Doyle, with the shingles, Dewey Jones at Crestview for rehab and therapy, Ruth Taylor, Leland Simpson, Dorsey Watridge and Fletcher Lewis. Others are Joann McBroom, Mays Joyner, Bianka Kail, Lloyd Taylor, Ouita Holt, Patricia Simmons and Annalee Myers. Also include Bland Boyd, Ray Lovelace, Jane Carr, James Johnson, Dorothy Campbell and Charlie Roland.

The young boys, grades 1-6, enjoyed themselves last Friday night and Saturday at the Chickasaw National Park. They slept under tents. Those accompanying them were Greg Baker, Jerry and Josh McClinton, Brother Fred Campbell and Ricky and Jay Hopper. Their emphasis was on courage, kindness and self-control.

Dream Big – Read! Takes place at 2pm and Own the Night takes place at 3:15pm. Come and join us for amaz-ing, spectacular stories, crafts and a snack. All book logs must be com-pleted by July 5th to be eligible for prizes.

We haven’t forgot-ten all our adults out there this summer. The Adult Summer Reading Contest for the month

Four from HJH to play in all-star gameFour Haywood Junior

High football players will represent Tennes-see in an all-star game later this month in Lou-isville, Ky.

Eighth-graders Will Austin, Emmitt Gooden and Rashad Brown, as well as seventh-grader Corey Newble, will rep-resent Team Tennessee on June 16.

Haywood coaches Er-nie Jackson and William Grissom took 21 players to try out for the Ten-nessee Future All-Stars team.

The event is the oldest middle school all-star game in Kentucky and Tennessee. The goal be-hind the event is to put each state's best athletes

on a stage and give them a chance to showcase their talents and gain some exposure heading into high school.

Each athlete will be given a chance to live like college athletes for a few days.

Over 300 athletes competed statewide for roster spots.

Special thanks to Al-len King and Co-op for sponsoring the event.
