COUNTY FAIR QUEEN CANDIDATES NEEDED

Are you interested in running for Monroe County Fair Queen?

The Monroe County Fair Queen advances to the Missouri State Fair. Last year, organizers were able to send a queen with the money they earned from the younger girls entering the pageant, so they are looking for girls ages 10-16 to enter. The Queen receives a crown if they win, but the extra money allows the organizers to send a queen to state fair, at no charge to the girl for her entry fees.

If anyone is interested, please contact Bonny Hendren (660-2634381 or 660-372-8134) as soon as possible, so she can contact the state fair representative and let them know Monroe County will have a girl entering.

Cats & Vampires

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR appeal@parismo.net

Help and helpers… As I always do - I seem to attend functions that have me thinking. On Sunday I attended the annual Relay For Life of Monroe County Survivor Lunch. What an amazing group of people attended that luncheon. The luncheon is co-sponsored by the Relay For Life of Monroe County Committee members and members of the Monroe County Cancer Supporters. The excellent event i spearheaded by prospective group members Donna Morgan for the Relay Committee and MCCS President John Turner. Morgann invites and organizes the meal and Turner and his wonderful group of chefs, including the scrumptious turkey and noodles of Barb Nobis, provide the meal.

Approximately 50 cancer survivors were on hand to fellowship and be honored for their courageous battle versus that deadly disease cancer.

“You are our heroes and you are an example to others - young people who are fighting what you did, “ said organizer Donna Morgan.

“You give them hope!”

Events such as this one are not just the work of one or two people. Donna and John had a machine of volunteers behind them helping all the way. They had cooks, such as Joanne Bonney, Leslie Rosenkrans, Jeannie Nobis and others who provided an excellent spread for the cancer survivors to partake in. Those same cooks, at the end of the program, turned into the group who cleaned up the library.

Then there were the Relay folks who informed the cancer survivors about the Re-

lay and what it does for the community and for them.

On hand was D’Arcy Crane from the American Cancer Society, who gave up her Sunday to come spend time with true heroes. Cranegave a short presentation about the ACS and what it does and how it helps. Coordinator Donna Morgan gave an impassioned speech to the survivors.

It was noted that this year’s Relay For Life of Monroe County will take place on Saturday, June 28 into the early hours of Sunday, June 29. Relay will begin at 6 p.m., with a Survivor Lap as always but new this year the Relay will end at 1 a.m., instead of taking place all night as it has been in the past.

Complete luncheon and relay coverage in next week’s regional Monroe County Appeal.

This is an other county function that takes lots of volunteers to happen. Head Coordinator Ali Rentschler and her army of Relayers will be whipping the event into shape so that it goes off without a hitch as always.

These are only two examples of our local army of thoughtful, hard working and dedicated volunteers.

Join in today! The rewards are incredible!

Have a great week!

MY TURN Response to Smart Guns Not Very Smart There are now what are called “Smart Guns”.

They use identity technology like fingerprint scanners and PINs so that only their real owners can operate them. With the safety factor for gun owner parents with small or careless older children, they would seem to be a real option especially for target shooters where speed of operation was not a factor.

There would also be a drop in homicides with stolen guns if smart guns became popular. The reason we don’t see or hear about them is that my fellow NRA members, or a lot of them, and other gun enthusiasts see this as the familiar refrain of “they’re coming for our guns.” There are documented cases of death threats to dealers who would stock these guns.

There is also intimidation and harassment on record of employees of Armatix, a company

marketing a smart gun.

There is no reason to believe that the military, law enforcement officials, those who keep guns solely for protection or many others in the market for handguns would be drawn to weapons that required time to identify yourself before using the gun or depending on battery life for seldom fired guns. These guns have little chance of becoming widely used but if parents want an extra degree of safety for their kids why shouldn’t they have this choice? Death threats and harassment should not limit our choices in America or be weapons of choice for those of us that believe in Second Amendment rights. It blurs the lines between gun enthusiasts that use guns and act responsibly and those who would use gun issues as an excuse to be bullies and worse. Not Smart….

This week I want to share a couple cute stories about children. Sometimes listening to a child’s conversation or hearing their take on life can add some laughter and joy to our day. And I know there are many days when enjoying my children gives me the boost I need to start my day off right. * One day last week my three boys came running into the house and made a b-line for the kitchen sink.

They were making gagging noises as they fumbled around trying to beat the other one to a cup and fill it with water. I noticed one of them wasn’t trying as hard to get in there and get some water but the other two were gulping it down and then spitting it back out into the sink. I asked numerous times what was going on but two of them were so consumed with spitting out whatever was in their mouth that they didn’t answer me but the one that

LISA TALTON

wasn’t getting any water said, “I didn’t do it. I’m glad I didn’t. I was going to. I came real close to trying it but I’m glad I didn’t.” Okay now I was even more interested.

Then this is how our conversation went: Me: “What didn’t you do?’ #1 Son: “I didn’t eat the cat food.

Me: “What do you mean you didn’t eat the cat food?

Who ate cat food?”

He then points to the two boys still hovered over the kitchen sink.

Me: “Why did you eat cat food?” (I was directing this at the two boys spitting in the sink.) #2 Son: “He said let’s try some cat food and see what it

dent. The vampire in question shakes his head and says very softly, “I am a vampire.”

After each student used the bathroom they sat down in a line against the wall until everyone was finished.

The (vampire) boy happened to sit right down across from where I was. He looked over at me several times so each time he did I smiled at him. Well, I guess he was tired of me smiling at him and decided he was going to show me who he really was. He curled up his eyebrows at me trying to make a scary face but it just made him look all the more cuter. I couldn’t help but smile again and then that was when he decided to get serious. He took his finger and lifted up his lip as to show me his pointed tooth. Okay, now I had to hold back the laughter and I did but I couldn’t get the smile off my face.

Just then the teacher told them to stand up and get ready to go back to class. As the (vampire ) boy was walking down the hall he turned around, looked at me, gave me one last scary face and one last view of his pointed teeth.

Me: “Why would you want to try cat food?” #3 Son: “We just wondered what it would taste like so we figured we should try some and then we would know and not have to guess what it would taste like.” #2 Son: “The good news is we know what it tastes like now. The bad news is it tastes pretty nasty.” *One day I was watching the kindergarten class line up to take a bathroom break. I was thinking about how adorable they were and how their teachers probably have some of the cutest and funniest stories that they could share. Just then one of the boys in the line tells his teacher he is a vampire.

I couldn’t hear the whole conversation but the bits and pieces I did hear were entertainment enough.

The teacher assured the boy that he was not a vampire but the little boy persisted that he was. Then I hear the teacher say this: “Just because your teeth are pointed doesn’t mean you are a vampire.” The teacher then looks away from the child to direct her attention to another stu-

He brings spiritual healing to our life. If we are living with Christ we are not of the world and sometimes we may be hated because of this. Jesus came to reveal sin. Verse 22 says, “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now however, they have no excuse for their sin.” Are we willing to live in Righteousness if we are hated?

All are welcome to attend Sunday services.

Sunday, June 1 was a special Sunday that will be remembered at the Perry Christian Church. This was the last Sunday that the Todd’s will be ministering to our congregation and everyone was aware of how much they will be missed. We wish them the best as they move to their church family in Kansas.

The choir sang “Lead Me to Calvary” and Pastor Todd extended greetings to everyone and welcomed a long time member, Nana Smith and Sandra Moon, St. Louis. Mitchell Levings of Lake Jackson, Texas, was among the other guests present. The hymn of praise was “Glorify Thy Name.”

Glenna Johnson was the proud grandmother as Pastor Todd performed the baptism of Danielle Berry and the dedication of Grayson Rothwell. Su Todd presented plaques she had made. Families for both children were present.

“Jesus Loves Me, This I Know” was the prayer hymn.

John Asbury and Lois Friday were concerns along with the families of Phillip Statler, Dottie Cable and all of the Hickmans. “Lord, Listen to Your Children Praying” was the choir’s response.

The sharing of the Lord’s Supper began with pastor’s meditation and singing “I Stand Amazed.” Greg Harrison and Arlen Provancha gave the Elder’s Prayers.

Deacons were Eunice Fisher, Anthony Elam, Chris Johnson and Wyatt Lewellen. Arlen led the choir in singing “Circuit Riding Preacher.” Cheri accompanied them.

Jeannie Gay told the children the importance of “being in the world but not of the world.”

John 17:1-11 was read by Jim Gay for pastor’s sermon, “Prayer for the Future.” Pastor Todd recited memories he would cherish of his six years at our church and in the community. He then presented Danielle with her baptism certificate.

Nancy Seelow presented Pastor David and Su with a gift from the church and expressed our appreciation for all the blessings we have received from their ministry with us.

“I Surrender All” was the invitation hymn. The closing hymn was “God Be with You ‘Til We Meet Again.”

We concluded with a fellowship dinner celebrating the day.

Services on Sunday, June 1, began with Patti Grimmett playing “How Great Thou Art” on the piano followed by all singing “I Sing the Mighty Power of God,” “Fight the Good Fight,” “Doxology,” “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah” and “Blest Be the Tie that Binds.”

Pastor John Grimmett led the Responsive Reading from Psalm 68 and he and Patti sang “Shout to the North” as he played guitar.

Prayer was held for J.D. Whelan; Debbie Carey’s grandchildren; Ellen Nubraugh; Faye Plair; Kelsey Sweitzer; for the 300 girls who were kidnapped in Africa; praise from Jere Nelson’s trip to Paris; and thank you from Rosanna Papke for prayers, followed by the congregation saying the Lord’s Prayer.

The message “forever Young” was based on scripture from Joshua 14, as we often forget the ones who have been in the church for a while. Moses sent out twelve men, one from each of the tribes, as God had commanded. Caleb reported back to Moses about the land that could be overpowered. God sent His people through the desert for 40 years; all passed away but Caleb and Joshua. 45 years later Caleb, 85 years old, was still a man of faith. It was like some of the people in our churches today possessing the longing to follow Jesus.

Pastor John sang some of the sermon in song form.

Prayer warriors - praying in faith that nothing is too big for God - the faith that knows the Lord. God has great plans for you no matter your age! Be like Caleb and go forward and never look back.

Communion was led by Max Tilt and Earl Sweitzer with Debbie Carey leading the Offertory as Patti played “O, Master Let Me Walk with Thee.”

Patti played “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” as all retired in fellowship.

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

Services at Holliday Christian Church on June 1, were opened with the prelude by pianist, Sally Blakemore. Reverend David Holmes welcomed all in attendance.

On June 8, Sally Robinson will serve as guest minister in Reverend Holmes’ absence. The monthly congregational meeting will also be held following services next Sunday. Madison Christian Church will host a Father’s Day breakfast at 8 a.m., on June 15.

Happy birthday wishes was sung to: Judy Elsbury.

Nellis and Berna Kotsenburg were wished happy 25th anniversary. The opening hymn, “Sunshine In the Soul” was sung; pastoral prayer and Gloria Patri followed.

Prayer concerns were expressed for Mary McMorris and Cherie Graupman. Sally and Phil Blakemore shared the joy of having Rob and Suzi Carter and family return safely from their travels and wished for prayers for safe travels to Greg and Shelly Blakemore and their family.

Darold Thrasher’s granddaughter recently graduated and has received scholarships to attend medical school.

David Holmes announced that his grandson, Miles, recently took his ACT and scored a 34.

“Nearer, My God, To Thee” was the prayer hymn sung; pastoral prayer and then unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer followed.

In keeping with the tradition of first Sundays, Sandy Callison and Carole Roberts, elders, went forward to serve at the Lord’s Table as the communion hymn, “Peace, Perfect Peace” was sung. Diaconate: Zelmajo Ragsdale and Jane Akers. Pastoral prayer and the doxology closed the communion service.

Scripture from Act 1:1-14 was read prior to the morning message entitled “What Do You Do When You are Waiting for a God Like That?” As we wait, remember to hold on to promises of the scriptures as God will make those promises come true—in His time.

In waiting, it is a time for practical activity and to pray for guidance that someone’s who we have hurt may have their heart opened to forgive. It is a time of reflection to remember and give thanks for others who have brought joy into our lives. Finally, it is a time to deepen our faith as the disciples did during the Last Supper and as we share communion each Sunday.

Following a closing prayer, the hymn of invitation and dedication, “The Lord Is My Shepherd” was sung.

The “Spirit Song” closed morning worship.

A time for fellowship and to enjoy refreshments was observed in the church basement; Jane Akers then led the group in study of John Chapters 14:15-31 and Chapter 15. Services are held each Sunday at Holliday Christian Church beginning with worship at 9:30 a.m., followed by Bible Study at 10:30 a.m. All are welcomed and encouraged to attend

COMMUNITY NEWS On June 1, 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: we have forms for children’s and youth camp, Men’s Breakfast will be at 8:30 a.m., on June 14, the Cowboy Church will host a Gospel sing at the barn on June 14, we have tickets for a Cardinal’s game on June 18, and a fingernail painting party will be at Miller’s Residential at 1:30 p.m., on June 28. The message this week was titled ‘Living God’s Grace’ and came from Titus 2:11-15. God loves mankind; it is that simple. God’s grace available to man shows God’s love and desire to bless man. God reaches out to those who cannot save themselves and cannot ever repay the kindness and mercy He has shown.

Grace is not simply for salvation but grace is to be lived every single day.

In God’s grace man is to learn. This Scripture reveals two things mankind is to learn not to do; be ungodly or follows worldly lusts. Grace would be easy if God was not a holy God but God is holy and that makes Him worth worshipping. If God was not holy He would simply be a Greek god – to no value to anyone.

Mankind is also to learn how to live according to God’s desires. The words sober, righteous, and godly describe a life that is lead by God’s grace. These are things mankind must learn from God. The most important aspect of learning is the desire to learn. Even the best teacher cannot make an unwilling student learn. God will not force His Word down your throat.

Much of the church seems to be maintaining in their Christianity until Jesus returns. The means God is no longer the priority in your life. It would seem Christians have enough of whatever is they have to make God let them in heaven while they play in the world on earth. God will not be mocked. God’s children are to grow in His grace and by His grace every day. No one ever looks enough like Jesus to stop growing in God. Living in God’s grace means you value the return of Christ for His Bride. This is the most important single event to come and every grace filled eye is looking to the blessed day when it happens. The reason it is so important is that a grace filled life will continually look to the fulfillment of its hope. That hope is the return of Jesus Christ our Lord for the Bride of Christ. Is your treasure honestly stored in heaven or here on earth?

God’s grace sets man apart unto God in Jesus Christ to be a special possession to God. We all like the redeeming us from all iniquity but our lifetime of purification is harder to accept. The benefit of God weeding out our sin is that we become closer to God in our fellowship. This allows our heart to catch on fire and we do good works for Him in the name of Jesus Christ.

Everyone likes to believe they are special. Being special to God is the best kind of special. Live daily in the fullness of God’s grace.

Health Department June Schedule

Greetings from FaithWalk Ministries – Bishop Harold G. Long, Pastor Morning worship service began at 10:30 a.m.

“Make Me Right” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Prayer-led by Elder Helen Fugate Scripture-read by Elder Maurice Berry “Higher Call” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Offering (Seed Planting)-directed by Minister Kelly Ballenger. Our Vision and Mission Statements were read in unison, declaring that FaithWalk Ministry’s constant goal is the work of, “Building and Sustaining Strong Communities by Breaking the Cycle of Addictive Failures.”

“The Sun Is Going To Shine” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Bishop Long’s message was entitled, “It Has Been Determined, By God!” St. Luke 22:22 – “And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed.”

The key part of this verse is where it says ‘as it has been determined’. This gives us an indicator that some things will be, no matter what. No one or nothing can stop it because God has appointed it to be and determined it to happen.

We all have to deal with determined things in life, even when we don’t want to. No matter how unfair we think they are, when it has been determined, it is determined!

We must learn to trust God in those determined times of our lives.

Proverbs 3:5- “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, 6 – “In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path.”

Come and worship with us! Weekly service times: Tuesday at 7 p.m., Thursday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 10:30 a.m., and 7 p.m. God bless you!
