Twenty plus residents attend Paris R-II district school board meeting President Richard Fredrick called the regular board meeting of the Paris R-II Board of Education to order at 6 p.m., on Wednesday, October 15 with approximately 20 plus guests in attendance. All seven board members answered roll call.

To begin the meeting, local resident Jared Kendrick addressed the board members regarding a letter from community members to the board of education members.

Angel Smith also addressed the board members.

Prior to anyone in attendance addressing the board, Board President Richard Fredrick explained the school board policy of not discussing either a

student or staff member in open session. He noted that staff and students concerns must be taken to an approved closed session.

“Our concern is our children,” said Kendrick referring to the letter he presented to the board. “We are concerned parents.”

It was noted that since the letter openly referenced a staff member the letter would be taken to closed session.

President Fredrick asked those in attendance who wanted to directly discuss a student or staff member to also write a letter (pad and paper provided) and the board members would take that issue up in closed session.

John Dowell addressed the board members regarding a drop off and pick up bus policy. President Fredrick noted that the board members had not looked into this item and would take it under consideration and look into the issue.

It was asked if board members would ever take a question and answer time.

President Fredrick noted that the board is not the forum to ask educational questions in a first setting.

You need to address the superintendent or the principals regarding specific questions before approaching the board, explained President Fredrick.

Rewards… The Paris Coyote seniors played their last regular season game on Friday night at Warbritton field. Before the game began the seniors (football, softball, band and cheerleading) and their parents were celebrated for their contributions to the Paris R-II athletic program. Earlier in the week both Madison C-3 and Paris R-II held their National Honor Society induction ceremonies for new students – these are always moving ceremonies for me as students are showing off their academic prowess and I am amazed by their knowledge and sense of direction.

The amount of emotion at these programs is off the charts. Each step of a student’s senior year is an emotional milestone for parents, students and friends.

As we all know – it is the beginning of far more things than really an ending but at the time it really hits home as, “the final football game, the final Prom, the final Courtwarming coronation, etc.”

To get to this stage students have taken numerous steps in their academic career - preschool, kindergarten, elementary, junior high and finally high school. These days are filled with memories, friends, struggles and successes. To get to the final stage students interact with countless teachers and staff members of the school district. They interact with bus drivers, aides, teachers, coaches, administration, lunch staff, nurses, librarians and others. They are not always successful in their endeavors but even these are life

Do you ever feel like it is taking forever to reach your destination and your patience is running thin? Or do you feel like the waters are too turbulent and troubled to continue on. Do the circumstances you are encountering or the difficulties you are facing seem too overwhelming?

Sometimes because we are experiencing these things in our life whether it is with our marriage, our job, our children, our dreams, our happiness, our relationship with God, we want to jump ship and give up.

Or maybe we see a ship that seems to be better than the one we are on and we want to switch to that one. Or we think our ship should take a short cut so we can get to our destination quicker.

To each one of these school “individuals” I say thank you for your life choice in making education your chosen field.

Thank you to Cloe Billington for making the NHS program a memorable event; thank you to Coach Fible, Coach Skinner (both of them), Coaches Billington and Link, Coach Jones and Coach Crusha for your time, your desire and your patience and understanding. Thank you to ALL our teachers and staff, our educational leaders and board members who look not to tomorrow but into the future to make sure our students will be the best and brightest and have not only what they need but what is needed.

Thank you to teachers such as Ashley Crow and Tracy Huffman who make learning fun for our new students and to teachers such as Josh Bondy, Suzy Otto and Brenda Ensor who make our older students successful. Thanks to new teachers Garrett Thomas, Haley Nobis and all our first few year teachers for what you get up every day to do – work with and for our future.

So in short – thank you to everyone in the educational system – you have our future in your hands!

Have a great week!

MY TURN Enough Already

This is about Barack Obama, in part. It is not about his presidency, his policies or decisions. Nor is it political or meant to be. Since Barack Obama was elected and before that there have been critical personal comments and writings about Mr. Obama. Some of my friends have been harsh critics for some years now. Most of us have also been bombarded with many severely critical digs at Mr. Obama under the cover of being somehow funny. Yes, I know about Freedom of Speech and cherish it.

And yes, I know about the history of nasty political sayings and slogans about candidates around election time. But these nasty comments and postings are getting beyond the limits of good taste and way too low to pass as humor. What passed those boundaries for me was a recently posting from a clearly political source that pictured Mr. and Mrs. Obama with protective masks and a not funny tie to ebola disease. It is very hard for me to see any humor in ebola

or cancer or any other serious illness that is costing human lives daily. It is also most troubling that people that I know and respect post this garbage and the same day post their commitment to their Christian beliefs. Most of us know that it is easier to defend your faith than to live it. The Jewish Son of the Carpenter was no stranger to criticism and often called out those who pretended to be one thing and acted like another. We retain His word for it that rhymes with “if it fits”.

Barack Obama has been blamed for most everything except hurricanes and hemorrhoids.

But he is apparently now producing this large destructive wind of criticism and the occasional pain you know where when we see and hear it. Please, Obama haters and especially Christians among you, ask yourselves the WWJD questions before you post this hateful stuff or at least if you still persist wait a day or two before you witness your faith for us. Enough already. Thanks!

We all experience ups and downs in this life and I believe that will be the case until we leave this world. We are going to have times when the waters are troubled and times when it seems like things are not moving like we want them to. But we can’t let those things get us so discouraged that we want to give up or “jump ship”. When we do that we can end up missing out on the joy of reaching our destination and receiving all that it has for us. Plus, it is the journey, even with all the hardships that really help us grow and can also

look like everything is smooth sailing for them right now but we do not know what storm they just came through. Until we invest some time and energy into getting to know them, we really do not know what they have encountered on their journey. But chances are that if we do we will find out they have had their share of rough waters and troubled circumstances but they made it through. This should encourage us not make us envious. It should bring us hope that they made it through the troubled waters and so can we.

So if we hang in there even in the dark times of our lives or in the moments when things do not appear to be going our way we will encounter smoother waters and we will reach our destination at the right time as long as we keep God as our captain.

And remember with Him all things are possible!!!!

bring us many blessings that we didn’t expect.

God knows where our ship is going and He will make sure we get to our destination even when to us it looks like that might not happen. The key is letting Him be the captain and putting our trust in Him. He knows the best route for us. He knows what to do when we encounter storms and He knows the ship we are on is the best possible one for us. We might see someone else’s ship and want to get on because their ride seems smoother and less rocky or their ship looks like it is moving faster than ours. But we have to know we are on the exact ship we need to be on and we need to hang in there through the hard times and allow our captain to guide us to our destination.

Even though someone else’s ship or journey looks better to the physical eye, remember we only see a small fraction of it. It might

The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921.

Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in NHS activities. NHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. territories, and Canada. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.

History The National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) officially established NHS in 1921. Though many local and regional honor societies existed prior to 1921, no nationwide organizaThe

tion had been founded.

Under the leadership of Dr. Edward Rynearson, principal of the Fifth Avenue High School in Pittsburgh, the organization grew from the original Alpha Chapter at the Fifth Avenue School to more than 1,000 chapters by 1930. Equipped with a constitution, an emblem and motto, and a group of dedicated principals as coordinators, the new NHS organization quickly developed into one of the country’s leading educational groups.

Four main purposes have guided chapters of NHS from the beginning: to create enthusiasm for scholarship; to stimulate a desire to render service; to promote leadership; and to develop character in the students of secondary schools. These purposes also translate into the criteria used for membership selection in each local chapter.

On Thursday, October 16, nine new members were inducted into the Paris R-II National Honor Society Chapter. Left to right, Shelby Powell-Wisdom, Abbie Wheelan, Dakota Anderson, Sabrina Wright, Jon Turner, Rachel Blades, Tucker Gruber, Hannah Bartels and Laine Forrest.

APPEAL PHOTO The NHS Pledge taken by all these students states: pledge myself to uphold the highest purposes of the NHS to which I have been selected. I will be true to the principles for which it stands, I will be loyal to my school and will maintain and encourage high standards of scholarship, service, leadership and character.

The Paris R-II NHS Society members, left to right: First row - Chrisee Wheeler, Shelby Powell-Wisdom, Abbie Wheelan, Sabrina Wright, Rachel Blades, Hannah Bartels, Eva Charlick, Rachel Batsell, Jake Peak and Alex Dreckshage. Second row - Audrey Vitt, Brant Francis, Katie Otto, Dakota Anderson, Jon Turner, Tucker Gruber, Teddy Ebbesmeyer, Laine Forrest, Kyle Popkes, Quin Bartels and Brett Mason. Paris R-II NHS Officers include: President Teddy Ebbesmeyer, Vice-President Katie Otto, Secretary Audrey Vitt, Treasurer Brant Francis and Student Council Representative Chrisee Wheeler. Sponsor Cloe Billington.

What does it mean to be part of the National Honor Society?

“It is a huge step for me to be a better leader,” said Paris R-II NHS President Teddy Ebbesmeyer. “I have helped out in community service projects not only at school but church and the Senior Center.”

“I feel really honored to follow others who have been inducted into the NHS,” said new inductee Jon Turner.

“NHS is a very prestigious organization.”

“It means you have leadership,” said NHS Member Alex Dreckshage. “It also means I am representing the school; I am proud to be in NHS.” “These students set high standards for themselves and then they meet those goals,” said R-II Secondary Principal Chris Willingham.

based in Paris, Missouri, works to make Monroe County a safe and healthy place to live. Through the Maternal Child Health (MCH) program, federal funds from the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services allow the health department to provide staff and programs whose goals are to prevent and reduce intentional and/or unintentional injuries among infants, children, adolescents, and women. Under this program, Linda Wilkerson, RN, directs activities that teach safe driving practices such as using seatbelts and car seats, avoiding the use of cell phones while driving, and avoiding driving while under the influence of substances.

This MCH program allows the health department to provide a newborn visitation program whereby Linda visits with new mothers and newborns. She answers the mother’s questions and provides information on newborn health and safety. Included in the visit is a small goodie bag for the benefit of mom and baby.

Linda visits nearly 80% of the new moms and newborns in the county each year, and she will visit you and your newborn, too.

Give her a telephone call at 660/327-4653 ext. 225 to schedule a visit.

To the Voters of the 10th State Senante District, Thank you Rep. Ed Schieffer for all you have done for those of us who live along the Mississippi River.

Announcements included: October 25 at 1 p. m. will be a visitation time at Miller’s Retirement Care and at 6 p.m. will be the Weiner Roast and Hay Ride at the church, on December 14 will be the Christmas Program during morning service, followed by a carry-in dinner, and community caroling at 2 p. m.

The message this week was titled ‘A Spirit of Power, Love, and Sound Mind, and came from 1 Timothy 1:612. Through the good and tough times of life Christians are to remain consistent in using their God given gift to the glory of God. Stirring the gift of God is fanning the flame of the Holy Spirit inside you. The Holy Spirit will lead you to do things for God you have never imagined. The normal Christian excuse for not using their gift is they are not trained to do so. Some of the best Christians have no formal training but they have commitment, obedience, and faithfulness; this is what God uses to accomplish His will.

Many believers are taught by the world to follow God silently and privately. The spirit of fear is the inability to stand before the enemies of Christ. They avoid all public discussion about Jesus; this is the same as being ashamed of Jesus. God has given His children the power to be courageous in the face of evil and sin. It takes courage to fulfill the will of God, ask Joshua (1:69). God gives the Christian the ability to love God, the brethren, and the lost – in that order.

A God given sound mind is what many Christians lack. If you looked up Joshua 1:6-9, go back to verse 8 and realize Joshua’s success depended on his moral courage to completely follow God. Then God won the battles for Joshua. Today Christians need a revival of godly moral courage in America. It is the Christian’s fault America has the moral problem it does. Lost folks only know how to live like lost folks. Christians know better but are afraid or ashamed to pay the cost associated with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The homosexuals show more courage than Christians do. They control the sexual conversation with just 2-3% of the population. That is courage but not from God. Christians have compromised and lived the ‘it is their choice’ mentality far too long. Stand firm and speak out on the truths of God – in love. You may pay a price for disobedience to the world but this is the sound Christian mind.

Paul cries out for Timothy to join him in the sufferings of Christ. This cannot be done unless we let our light shine; that light is Christ. If you believe God really has you in the palm of His hand and will not fail you, stand for the truths of God. God’s will for our lives is not always easy and comfortable. To dismiss the God given trials of life for comfort, is simply being ashamed of Jesus (Luke 9:26). Paul was totally committed to the cause of Christ and that is what the world needs today.

2014 4-H WEEK

4-H Members Project Book Stories International Foods

By Patrick Ensor I am a nine-year member of Holliday Horizons 4-H. I have been cooking for several years and like to try new things.

I started my international foods fair entry with the mind-set of trying something nobody would think of making.

Two weeks later I get a phone call about how she has found the perfect recipe for the project, and the answer I got to “What is it?” was absolutely unbelievable; She had found a recipe for sweet potato biscuits!

I started the recipe by simply comprehending it, it was the most out there recipe I had ever read; orange zest and sweet potato into a biscuit isn’t something you ever hear about for a family recipe. I asked her where in the world she had found it. She replied that it was from Midwest Living magazine. Sweet potatoes are grown a lot in South America.

I was skeptical about a biscuit with sweet potato or especially orange zest.

I found it to be a recipe of very odd proportions; the mixture of moist ingredients proved to be difficult to put into a recipe as dry as biscuits and eventually surprised us with how well it turned out. I went along with the recipe and tried to follow it loyally. I wanted cinnamon instead of paprika in the dry ingredients, which produced a conflict between me, who wanted to change the ingredients, and my grandma, who wanted to follow it to the letter. I decided to agree when she mentioned the possibility that the people who made the recipe had tested it with cinnamon instead of paprika and discovered it to be better with paprika.

I am still learning to use a grater to make orange zest. I have to watch out for my fingers. I had never kneaded dough be-

fore. Grandma said don’t play in it.

Step Up To Leadership!

Pink Out Game

by Betsy Embree My name is Betsy Embree and this is my 2nd year in Step Up to Leadership. This year, my Step Up to Leadership project was the 2014 Annual Pink Out Game. The last two years, my sister, Lauren and John DeOrnellis co-organized the Annual Pink Out Game.

This game is a competition between the Madison Panthers and the Paris Coyotes and this good natured competition leads to a contest to raise money for the Monroe County Cancer Supporters. After Lauren and John’s graduation, Austin Thomas and I took over this project.

My family has been very involved in this project and so it was not anything new for me. I had already assisted in sorting t-shirts and anything else we needed help with to make this a success.

This year, my role was a lot different. Austin and I were in charge of organizing the project can honestly say that we did very well for our first year

but we did have a few obstacles. One problem that came up was there were a lot of complaints that the game was being held at the Paris High School gym and many people felt there would not be enough room for everyone. We worked very hard to assure people that it would be fine. It turned out that we did have plenty of room and the whole event was a huge success.

We sold 696 shirts and hoodies this year. We also added a silent auction and raffle items to our night.

Overall, we were able to raise $5200. We were very proud of our success!

It gives me great satisfaction to know that I am able to do something for my community. It is so important to help others.

Cancer has affected my own family so I am aware what cancer can do. I have high hopes that we will be able to continue this in the future and continue to help Monroe County Cancer Supporters with their continued efforts to help individuals in the Madison, Paris and Monroe City area.

The two projects I exhibited this year were my “Pink Out Binder” which

tells all about my project. It has everything in it from the preparing, clear up to the night of the Monroe County Cancer Supporters Banquet. I kept all newspaper clippings and took a lot of photos to put in my book.

The other exhibit I had was my Pink Out t-shirt.

I designed this t-shirt myself and I am very proud of my design. Both items were selected to go to the Missouri State Fair. My “Pink Out Binder” was selected as “Best of Show”.

History of 4-H Logo The official 4-H emblem is a green four-leaf clover with a white H on each leaf standing for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. The stem of the clover is always to the right. There is little doubt that the 4-H emblem is one of the most highly recognized logos in the world.

The 4-H name and emblem have United States federal protection under federal code 18 U.S.C. 707, passed in 1939, slightly revised in 1948. This federal protection makes it a mark unto and of itself with protection that supersedes the limited authorities of both a trademark and a copyright. The Secretary of Agriculture is given responsibility and stewardship for the 4-H name and emblem, at the direct request of the U.S. Congress. These protections place the 4-H emblem in a unique category of protected emblems, along with the U.S. Presidential Seal, Red Cross, Smokey Bear and the Olympic rings.

Creation of the 4-H Emblem In 1907 or 1908, the first emblem used nationally was designed by O. H. Benson, superintendent of Wright County (Iowa)

schools, as a three-leaf clover with three “H’s” signifying head, heart, and hands. A four-leaf clover design with H’s appeared informally around 1908.

As the story goes, one sunny June morning in 1906 at a one-room country school near Clarion, Iowa, 11 pupils were spending their recess outside searching for four-leaf clovers. They had plucked seven clovers when a visitor drove up, the Superintendent of schools. At the teacher’s suggestion, the children surrendered their good luck charms and placed the seven clovers into the hands of the superintendent. He said, “I’ve been looking for an emblem for the agricultural clubs and the schools of the county, and you have just given me that emblem, the fourleaf clover; it will help explain to young and old the message of a four square education.” (In those early days, 4-H was known as “four-square education,” which was based upon education, physical, moral, and fellowship development.)

Although a good story, it may not be totally accurate as in 1907 Benson had designed, along with

Jessie Field Shambaugh, from Page County, Iowa, a 3-leaf clover with “H’s” standing for Head, Heart and Hands which was used as an embleom on several different items.

Nonetheless, the H’s and the clover emblem - regardless of whether we’re talking three leaves or four leaves - is credited to O. H. Benson and to Clarion, Iowa.

In 1911, Benson referred to the need for four H’s -- suggesting that they stand for “Head, Heart, Hands and Hustle... head trained to think, plan and reason; heart trained to be true, kind and sympathetic; hands trained to be useful, helpful and skillful; and the hustle to render ready service, to develop health and vitality...” In 1911, at a meeting of club leaders in Washington, DC they approved the present 4-H design.

O.B. Martin is credited with suggesting that the H’s signify Head, Heart, Hands and Health - universally used since then.

2014 4-H WEEK

4-H Members Project Book Stories Photography 2014 Amber Chapman Hello, I’m Amber Chapman and this is my 2nd year in 4-H and my first year in Photography.

I really enjoyed this project! Taking pictures has been one of my favorite things to do since I can remember. So when I finally started taking this, I felt really comfortable doing everything.

One of the highlights from this year was at the County Fair. Mr. Bales complimented my “photo-taking eye” and I had a state alternate photo. I will remain in this project for years to come because I love it too much to drop it!

In shooting Sports we had a good time this year.

I didn’t do very good this year. I wasn’t in shooting sports last year. So this was first year standing and shooting. I think this was a lot harder for me, well, I know this was a lot harder for me. We went over the safety rules again this year. There were some I needed reminded of.

I had fun going to practices with my dad.

We practiced for competitions. We started with silhouettes and then with targets. The targets were a lot harder. I competed at the Monroe County Shoot. I did not do well at all. I only hit 12 out of 40 targets. I was very disappointed.

I will use the information I learned when going

hunting with my dad this year. I am looking forward to it. Now that I have had some practice standing hopefully I will get a deer.

My little brother Wyatt likes to watch me practice at home. He wants to be just like me. He now has a bb gun. I help him shoot sometimes. We have a lot of fun. I am not sure if I will be in Shooting Sports next year or not. I think trap shooting looks like a lot of fun.

Woodworking Unit 1

By Nathan Deaver This is my second year in second year in Woodworking. I am very proud and excited to be doing woodworking because my Nana gets to help me. My Mom and Nana lead me in this project.

I love learning how to use the saws, powernailers, sanders and many other tools. I was a little scared at first but have learned how to safely use the tools to create awesome things. My project this year was a bench made of wood. It will be for my mom. I even painted it Americana since that what she likes.

I plan to do this project again. I love working with tools. My Nana says I’m a natural at woodworking.

I went to three horse shows. The first show was at Shelby County Fair, I had a lot of fun and met two girls my age that were really nice.

I was really proud of my horse Mojo, he is the best. When I drove my pony in the cart class my mom said I looked like I had been doing it for a long time, I was really nervous though.

kids there really knew what they were doing! I still placed in my classes so I was happy with that. I got to do the games there too, that is the best way to end the night I think getting to run your horse and have fun.

Then the end of the month came and it was time for the State Horse Show. My mom said there were about 400 horses at the fair! There were so many kids, and so much to watch. I had never been to a show that big before, and neither had my horse and pony. I think it was a learning experience for all of us. Mojo and I did our best, but we did not place in our classes. My mom was really proud

of me in my trail class. I had tried the same pattern at the Audrain fair and Mojo would not side pass or cross the bridge.

I set him up to side pass and he wouldn’t do it at first, I stopped and tried again and he did it! He also crossed the bridge!

I didn’t place, but I had learned not to give up.

Then came Sunday and the pony cart class. Ryan and I were ready! There were a lot of ponies there and some really neat carts. We placed 10th in the class and my mom said that wasn’t bad for my first year of showing.

I got to come home with a ribbon and a lot of kids have been doing this for a long time and did not get a ribbon at all. I am ready for next year, I have a goal

Rabbits

By Rebecca Youse My name is Rebecca Youse.. I live south of Clarence, Missouri with my parents, Joe and Cheri Youse and my older sister, Katie. This is my fifth year in 4-H. J am a member of Holliday Horizons club.

This is the first year that I have done this project. This year I have learned a lot about how to care for rabbits, what to feed them, how to groom them, and most importantly, how to hold them with control so that they do not kick you! Rabbits have very sharp claws that can scratch you. My older sister has rabbits as well, so she was able to teach me some things about rabbits. My rabbit is very calm and easy to handle and pick up. He likes to be held and will snuggle up to you after a while.

My project for the Monroe County Fair has already been useful. I made a Rabbit First Aid Kit. Katie and I were trimming DJ’s toe nails and we cut one a little too short and caused it to bleed. Because I had made the First Aid Kit, I knew what to do to keep the toe nail from continuing to bleed.

I enjoyed learning more about Rabbits through this project and plan to do it again next year.

My Crochet Project Miranda Breid Crochet was harder than I thought. I found that by using YouTube videos I was able to better understand the directions. This was my first year in crochet.

It seemed to take forever just chain enough stitches to start my afghan. Thank goodness my mom was working on one of her own just like mine and we were able to work together. I made lots of mistakes and had to pull out stitches which was frustrating. But I made it!

After several months I finally came out with a beautiful afghan. This will be something I am able to use for the rest of my life.

I will treasure it always.

Next year I want to try something harder.

Maybe a hat, gloves and scarf. Who knows?

The projects I have taken are Beekeeping, Food Preservation, Cured Ham and Gardening. My favorite projects are Beekeeping and Gardening.

This year we learned how to make a honey, wax lotion bar. It works on the skin very well. You

melt the wax and then add all of the extra ingredients like vitamin E, coconut oil, shea butter and essential oils.

We still sell the honey at the antique store. We want to more selling so we can make money.

When I was little I really loved one of the characters from that movie named Sully. I decided that it would be fun to decorate a cake with Sully because’ he’s a blue furry monster.

Then we had to go buy the blue decorating colors to make the cake and we also had to get the tip that is for grass or fur. I drew out the design on a piece of round Styrofoam.

I filled in the background with stars and use the fur tip to make the head and shoulders of Sully. I took my Sully cake to the Monroe County fair and it got a blue ribbon.

St. Frances Cabrini

Services Sunday, October 19 began with Patti Grimmett playing “O Worship the King” on the piano followed by Debbie Carey leading in prayer for Dennis Routt; the Grimmett’s; Bonnie Utterback; Melissa Conboy; Roberta McSparron; Beth Burch; the Breshears; the Parres family; the Ingram family, and those incarcerated with the Responsive Reading.

Special music was provided by Susie McGee, Sharon and Earl Sweitzer singing “Medley: The Old Rugged Cross, Shall We Gather at the River and Rock of Ages” and Debbie singing “All the People Said Amen”.

The message “Lord Teach Us to Pray” was a Musical led by Debbie with Congregational Hymns based on Scripture from Matthew 6:5-15; “The Lord’s Prayer”, as we examine the words of The Lord’s Prayer in song...

This is how Jesus teaches us to trust God - just as a father teaches his children. Everything we have belongs to God. God’s kingdom is here and now and yet to come.

God’s perfect will should be our will. Our daily needs will be provided for His children. God will forgive us, just as we forgive others; pray that God will guide us not to do wrong; God will help us fight off Satan. The prayer was what God gave us to do! AMEN!!!

The Offertory was led by Bobby Gash as Patti played “Sun of My Soul”.

Patti played “The Solid Rock” as all retired in fellowship. Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m., and all are welcome and invited to come hear the word of the Lord.

Let us worship the Lord our God! Let us come humbly before Him, for the Lord is holy!

Jeannie Gay based her children’s moment on what was meant when Jesus said ‘give to God what belongs to God” Jeannie read Colossians 1:9-12 for Brian’s sermon, “Fill Me Up”. His message was on seeking a sense of purpose and activating the Power of God with faith.

Hear and learn the Word of God, always be thankful and in prayer each day.
