LTC Callis named Educator of Year
U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Chad Callis has been named the Command General Staff College (CGSC) Military Educator of the Year for 2013. LTC Callis, 42, an instructor in Department of Army Tactics at CGSC, is an Armor officer who was selected over seven other officer instructors for the annual honor. By his selection at CGSC, Callis is now a finalist for the Army’s world-wide Training and Doctrine Command Educator of the Year award. According to the weekly Ft. Leavenworth newspaper, the Lamp, David Vance, assistant professor of CGSC’s Faculty and Staff Deployment Division, said the Educator of the Year Award is not a competition, but a method to recognize faculty members for superior performance in teaching future leaders of America’s military. The newspaper quoted Callis saying, “(Tactics is) Understanding the capabilities and limitations of all the different warfighting functions and then synchronizing those to achieve a mission.” The army officer said he enjoyed helping his students learn new things, understand diverse ideas and various doctrines of the battlefield to help them succeed in their future assignments. Callis told the Lamp, “Long after I’m gone from the Army, these students will be doing great and wonderful things. If I had some little, minor piece in that, that’s pretty cool. I’m very thankful for the opportunity to be here, let alone the chance to serve the country,” The Command General Staff College, at Ft. Leavenworth, KS, a 132-year old institution, is one of the preeminent educational courses career army officers have to complete in order for promotion to lieutenant colonel and above. LTC Callis graduated from CGSC in 2005. Callis graduated from Paris High School, in 1989, and has been on active duty since being commissioned an Army second lieutenant after graduating from Westminster College, in Fulton, in 1993, with a B.A. Degree in Business. In 2005, he was awarded a Masters Degree in Management from Webster University, in St. Louis. In his 20- year army career Callis has been stationed at Ft. Hood, Texas, Ft. Knox, Ky., Ft. Riley, Kan., the 1st

Armored Division, in Germany, and was an R.O.T.C. instructor at Washington University, in St. Louis. He has twice been deployed to Iraq. He has been assigned to Leavenworth for two years, arriving in December 2011. He has been awarded the Bronze Star, Meritorious Service Medal and the Army Commendation Medal. Chad Callis is married to the former Shannon Harris, of Auxvasse, and they have two children. He is the son of Charles and Jane Callis, of Paris.

MY TURN
This new year is as good a time as any to get ourselves refocused with a new perspective on the really important things in our lives It is not just a time to make resolutions of all the things we are not going to do but it can be a time to take a good look at our life and see what things we are going to do in this upcoming year. I’m sure all of us had one thing or another that we didn’t follow through on last year but we have been given another chance. If you are reading this right now God has blessed you to see another year. Why not make the most of it? Since most of us like new things, why not ask God to help us have a new way of thinking? It is great if you want to quit smoking, lose weight or stop drinking but if we do not change the way we think we can find ourselves at
The Same Old Story XIX
Editor’s Note: In case you missed it... As 2013 comes to an end, we have seen floods and widespread fires, tornadoes and hurricanes here at home and in other parts of our troubled world. Many of us find ourselves still struggling just to get by, and affording gifts for family and friends is more difficult than usual this year. It is time again to reflect on the real meaning of Christmas. That first Christmas is as relevant today as ever. Our elected leaders have time and again this year failed to make real progress or to agree on meaningful legislation to protect Americans from harmful financial situations that need attention. Instead they seek political advantage and to blame their political opponents. As we end the year we still seek leaders who can get beyond self interest and resolve differences and find needed solutions. Who will be our wise men and women of today’s world? “And there came three wise men from the East and seeing the star, they rejoiced.” Christmas is special for children. But it is the children who are most often the silent and helpless victims of cruelty, abuse and neglect. They have been the first to eat and first to die in most of the world. They are not spared in armed conflicts and now targeted in their schools by troubled local terrorists for reasons that may never be known. Ruthless dictators are willing to sacrifice young children to maintain their control. There is no shortage of modern day Herods. “For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the children and destroy Him” Greed is still on display in business dealing and in our legislative bodies and
many are willing to take advantage of the ill and the elderly and of the generosity of good people. Where are the men and women of integrity and peace who can be examples for our nation and for our children? “And on earth peace to men of good will.” And who will teach parents to care for their children born into poverty and addiction. Babies are shaken or beaten into a lifetime of permanent damage because they get on someone’s nerves and are too young to tell you why they cry to loudly or so often. Newborns are discarded with the trash like used wrapping paper instead of being treasured as a gift. “And she brought forth her first born Son, wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger.” We live in difficult and dangerous times in which we or loved ones can be innocent victims of senseless violence on crazed terrorists. The American Dream is not guaranteed and is now probably that our children may not be as well off as many of their parents and a good education and a willingness to work hard may not always result in decent employment for our children or theirs. We are all in need of hope and peace in our futures. “Fear not for I bring you good tidings of great joy. This day is born to you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” This Christmas season, like those before, it is the time to proclaim the good news of salvation in hopeful and joyful Thanksgiving. This is the nineteenth year that I have retold this same old story. Each year that I do it is as relevant and durable as the first time. It is as reliable and dependable as He whose birthday we celebrate this Wednesday.

LISA TALTON the beginning of next year resolving to quit doing the very same things we tried this year. Or we will quit the one vice and transfer it to another. We might quit smoking only to go to over eating. We need to allow God to help us see things in a new way. Maybe we have been having problems with some of our relationships. If we have we can start this year off asking God to help us with a new approach or with a new way of looking at our relationship. Maybe we need to give someone a clean slate by forgiving them from past things they might have done. You might be saying, “Oh, you don’t know what they did to me!”. No, I might not but I do

you or if they don’t want to mend the fence, know that you have done all you can do and now you have to leave the rest to God. You have done your part and can ask God for His peace in the situation. It isn’t easy when you reach your hand out to a loved one and they don’t reach back but this is just one of the many places we have the opportunity to allow God to come in to that area and give us His love and peace. We continue to pray for that relationship but then we have to move forward into our new year. So I want to wish everyone a wonderful new year and pray that God helps you to make the most of the awesome life He has given you this year and all the years that follow.

know that if we do not let go of the hurt we will never be whole. We will always feel like there is something missing. And to top it off, if we do not forgive those who have wronged us how do we expect God to forgive us of all the ways we have wronged Him? I do not know about you but I have done a lot of things in my life that I needed forgiveness from God and from family and friends. When we forgive someone it sets us free. We no longer have to dwell on the negative but can start our new way of thinking about that person in a positive way. Or maybe we need someone to forgive us. This is the time to make a decision to do our part to make things right. We might need to go to them in person, give them a phone call or write them a letter. Life is too short to be hanging on to past hurts or mistakes. Life is too precious to not take the opportunity we have RIGHT NOW to mend the fences that have been broken in our families or with our friends. And even if that person does not want to forgive

Monroe Manor recognizes employees Monroe Manor Nursing Home gave a member of its housekeeping department and another long-time employee, Employee of the Year [EOTY] and Honorable Mention EOTY awards during year-end ceremonies Dec. 20. In addition, another 11 employees were recognized with continuous service awards. Manor administrator Shari Embree announced during an employee afternoon Christmas party Walter Rucker was voted by his fellow staff members EOTY and Vanessa Ashenfelter was named the honorable mention EOTY. Mr. Rucker, 33, who joined the Manor in 2009, is only the second member of his department to be awarded the EOTY honor in nine years, since Maxine Smith Bueter received the prize in 2004. Mrs. Embree said, in voting for Rucker, his fellow employees commented that he never failed helping residents and staff members regardless of department; is a caring and polite man, always is in a good mood; professional, goes above and beyond the line of duty in his work. The new EOTY said he was taken aback by the award, not having any idea he was in contention for the recognition. “I was quite surprised, did not expect it at all,” Rucker said. He said neither he or his fiancée, Denise Morton, also a Manor employee, was scheduled to work on the day of the ceremony, but she told him they had to stay around town because she might have to work, and they might as well attend the party. All that was a ruse to get him in the building because Denise had been informed he was going to be honored. Rucker said he said he was very thankful for the support of his fellow employees. “Thanks to everyone here, I feel like I accomplished something in life. I try to work hard and will continue to do so.” Originally from St. Louis, Mr. Rucker started working at the Manor March 25, 2009, initially in the dietary department, and switched over to housekeeping in 2011. Before joining the Manor’s staff he was a heavy equipment operator for four years at Home Decorator’s in Mexico, employed as a cemetery landscaper and worked for Orschlen manufacturing in Moberly. He is the father of three children, ages 12, 11 and 10, that live in Mexico. Only one other employee has been employed at the Manor longer than social services director Vanessa Ashenfelter, 57, who has spent 36 continuous years at the nursing home. According to Mrs. Embree, in voting for Ms. Ashenfelter, employees commented that she is dedicated to the Manor’s residents; always does what is asked of her; good at her job; easy to get along with and the residents and their families love her. Like Mr. Rucker, Ms. Ashenfelter said she was surprised by the recognition. “I wasn’t expecting this honor,” she said, “but I’m very appreciative and humbled my peers picked me out of so many that are deserving.” Vanessa’s late mother, Joy Levings, was the Manor’s office manager from its opening in 1973 till her death in 1981, and Vanessa assisted her while in high school. Ms. Ashenfelter worked at the Manor after graduating from Paris High School, in 1974, through 1976, in laundry and eventually as a Certified Nurses Assistant (CNA). She took a year off, obtained her Licensed Practical Nurse’s credentials and rejoined the Manor Oct. 3, 1977. She has served as the assistant director of nursing and interim administrator. In 1983, she assumed the director of social services position. Ms. Ashenfelter is the mother of three children and has nine grandchildren. The EOTY and honorable mention EOTY received certificates along with $100 and $50 awards, courtesy of the Manor. Service Awards Continuous employment certificates went to Roxie Mor-

gan, Donna Starrett, Sandy Duncan, Judy Gregg, Shari Embree, Doris Mitchell, Janice Smith, Shelly Melendez, Josh Miller, Lavonda Stamp and Pam Fox. A Certified Medical Technician, Roxie Morgan is the last of the original employees. She was recognized for 40 years of continuous employment at the Manor. She is the facility’s longest-employed member of the staff, joining the facility in 1973. Donna Starrett joined the Manor as a CNA in the fall of 1973 and worked until taking off and starting her family in 1977. She returned to work August 1, 1978 and was recognized for her 35 years of exemplary service. She worked in rehabilitation for 14 years and switched over to the facility’s activities department in 2000. Sandy Duncan has been a dependable Manor employee for 30 years, joining the staff in 1983. Like Ms. Starrett, Mrs. Duncan started her Manor career as a CNA, spending three years in nursing. In 1986, she took over the Manor’s beauty shop, stayed in that position for 20 years, and transferred to the activities department in 2006. Senior laundry department employee Judy Gregg joined the Manor in 1988 and was recognized for a quarter of century of loyal service. She is one of many of her Gregg family that made a career serving the institution’s residents. Two employees were recognized for two decades of dedicated service; Manor administrator Shari Embree and CNA Doris Mitchell both have been at the Manor for 20 years. Ms. Embree was hired in 1993 as the Manor’s administrative assistant, appointed business manager in 2000 and was named administrator in 2005. Ms. Mitchell has a dual role, working both in nursing and rehabilitation. CNA Janice Smith was hired in 1998 and has devotedly served the Manor’s residents for 15 years. Earlier this year she became a part-time employee. Shelley Melendez, another CNA, received a ten year award for her reliable service. Five year service awards went to Lavaonda Nickell, a CNA, assistant dietary manager Josh Miller and Pam Fox, an RN, that serves as the Manor’s Care Plan Coordinator [CPC]. Mrs. Fox started work at the facility in 1998 as a CNA, left for nursing school in 2004, returned in 2005, serving first as a nurse and later in her present position. She left for three months in 2008 before returning as CPC. Kohl’s wholesale food company furnished a meal for Friday’s festivities and the Manor’s board of directors authorized bonuses totaling $75 and $50 respectfully for full and part-time employees. Thursday night, Dec. 18, the Manor hosted a Christmas party for residents and their families. Staff members served 200 people all the holiday fare appropriate for the season and the crowd was entertained by the Joyful Sound duet team of Brenda Duncan and Diane Hickman. Mrs. Embree said the Manor had an exceptional year in 2013. “We’ve had a record number of residents, and most importantly did a great job of taking care of them,” she said. “The Manor’s reputation for providing exceptional care is unmatched and we intend to keep it as such.”

MADISON TIMES/COMMUNITY NEWS Madison 4-H Club News
by Club Reporter Paige Hull
Members from the Madison 4-H Club went to Wildwood Care Center on Wednesday, Dec. 18, to help residents make Christmas ornaments to hang on their doors. The Christmas ornaments that were made were reindeer, snowmen, Santa Claus, gingerbread men, and penguins. After members helped to make ornaments they shared reindeer cupcakes with the residents. On Friday, Dec 20, members from the Madison 4-H Club went to Moberly Rehab to help residents make Christmas Ornaments to hang in their rooms. The Christmas ornaments that were made were snowmen, gingerbread men, and crosses. The residents enjoyed themselves and told the members thank you for sharing their time with them. The members then shared a yummy treat with the residents, peanut butter spoons dipped in chocolate. Everyone enjoyed the evening. All members of the Madison 4-H Club purchased Christmas presents for the residents at Wildwood Care Center, but were unable to take them due to bad weather. Bonny Hendren will be collecting the presents and delivering them on Tuesday, Dec. 24. Please make sure your gift is given to her. The next meeting will be Jan. 19, 2014 at 1 p.m., at the Madison Lion’s Den. We will do our annual carry-in dinner at this meeting. Everyone please bring a covered dish and the Club will provide the meat. Also the club has decided to exchange ornaments with each other and will do so at the next meeting, so everyone please bring an ornament relating to a 4-H project that you are enrolled in. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Madison Homemakers meet for annual Christmas dinner
The Madison Homemakers Club met at the Community Center on Dec. 19 for their annual Christmas dinner and meeting. The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and the Membership Pledge. Reports were made on the cookie exchange and sale. Donna Newbrough made a motion which was seconded by Darleen McNutt to make a donation to the Businessmen for new Christmas lights. Nancy Campbell consented to print Club program books for next year. Barbara Black made a motion seconded by Marybelle Hartgrove to donate $20 to Grace United Methodist Church to cover the cost of printing. Donna made a motion which was seconded by Darleen to donate $100 to the Monroe County Cancer Supporters. Karen appointed a nominating committee consisting of Janey Hultz, Barbara, and Donna to report in January. Members drew names for Secret Pals for 2014.

Lime Quality
Alix Carpenter, Agronomy Specialist University of Missouri Extenion
While soil pH is an excellent indicator of soil acidity, it does not determine lime requirement to neutralize that acidity. Measuring soil pH only measures the active acidity in the soil water. What also needs to be considered when developing a lime requirement is potential acidity, a function of soil clay and organic matter. Four factors have a major impact on successful neutralization of soil acidity by lime: rate of lime applied, lime purity (relative to 100% calcium carbonate - the lime’s CCE [calcium carbonate equivalent]), fineness, and amount of incorporation into the soil. When soil tests are performed, labs make lime recommendations based upon both the pH of the soil (the soil’s active acidity), and a measure of the soil’s structure or buffering capacity. The buffering capacity of a soil is often expressed as the soil’s resistance to pH change. Buffering capacity increases as do clay and organic matter levels. Sandy soils are weakly buffered, requiring less lime to change the soil pH. The reaction rate and degree of reactivity of lime increase as the liming material’s particle size decreases. Three to four years after application, ag lime particles larger than 10- to 15-mesh will have dissolved little, while the majority of lime particles in the 50- to 60-mesh size will have dissolved. The larger particles will have little effect on soil acidity (and pH), while the smaller particles will have rapidly neutralized soil acidity. Agricultural liming materials contain both coarse and fine materials. Soil test results and recommendations generated by the University of Missouri Soil & Plant Testing Lab report lime recommendations in terms of ENM (effective neutralizing material). The ENM value of a liming agent takes into account both the CCE and fineness of the lime. Data on the purity and fineness of a particular lime material are printed semiannually in the Missouri Agricultural Liming Materials Report, a copy of which is available for review at local extension offices, or online at http://aes.missouri.edu/pfcs/ aglime. These data are also available from individual quarries.

members. Superintendent Johnson presented the Elementary School report to the Board of Education members. The board members entered into an approved closed session. Reported out of closed session: the board members made a motion to offer a contract for 20142015 to Chris Johnson with salary to be determined by administrative salary schedule. The board members then unanimously amended the motion to include
2015-2016, making it a two-year contract, with salary to be determined by the administrative salary schedule.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers encourages local citizens to participate in the ninth annual Christmas tree recycling program. Christmas trees can be brought to a collection site at John Spalding Boat Ramp. Christmas trees will be accepted at this location until Jan. 31, 2014. Residents of the Mark Twain Lake surrounding area can contribute to these efforts by donating their trees. The trees will be bundled together and sunk in Mark Twain Lake, creating underwater fish structures. These structures are excellent
places for fish to rest. This underwater habitat also encourages the growth of algae and zooplankton for young fish to feed upon which enhances growth. Structures will be placed in Mark Twain Lake in late March by Corps of Engineers employees and volunteers. Artificial or flocked trees (with artificial snow) cannot
be accepted. Remove all tinsel, decorations, stands and plastic bags from the tree. Individuals or fishing /outdoor organizations are encouraged to help place the trees in the designated locations. Anyone wishing to volunteer or wanting more information should contact Brad Stamp at the Mark Twain Lake Project Office at (573) 735-4097.

Keep Car Windows ClearByThis Winter Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent
At any time of year—but particularly during the dark and potentially treacherous driving days of winter—it’s essential to keep your vehicle’s windows clear. Keep these tips in mind before you head out. First Things First Before you tackle accumulations on the windows, check to see that the tailpipe is free of snow. After that, turn on the car and run the defroster. It may take five minutes or more to warm up the car and start the melting process. Clear snow from the roof, hood and trunk lid while you wait. Clear the side windows and rear windows. Do the windshield last to give the defroster more time to start melting the ice. Don’t forget to clear your exterior mirrors, headlights, taillights and turn signals. Your last steps: Clear off and dry your wiper blades and make sure your wiper fluid nozzles are clear. (And if your wipers are more than 6 months old or they’re not clearing the windows properly, it’s time to replace them.) Get Frost-FreeUse the smooth side of a plastic ice scraper to clear frost. If it’s an especially light coating and you don’t have a scraper, a plastic card from your wallet or an old, unusable CD can serve in a pinch. Use vertical strokes and gently push the accumulation down and off the vehicle. To lessen or prevent buildup in the first place, you also could use a product specifically designed for this purpose on your windows. Ask your mechanic or the staff at an automotive supply store for recommendations, and be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when applying. Eliminate the IceUse the ridged side of a plastic ice scraper for ice accumulations. Make vertical slashes down the window, and then scrape across the window surface to break up the ice into smaller chunks. Never pour hot water over icy windows to clear them. The rapid temperature change can cause glass to crack or shatter. And don’t use a screwdriver, metal key or other sharp item to chip ice away. These can scratch or shatter the glass. Brush Off the SnowFor fluffy snows, use a snow brush with plastic bristles or a broom to clear windows, followed by a light scrape with an ice scraper as needed. Heavy snows may require clearing snow with a push broom, but don’t use your snow shovel or you risk damaging your vehicle. Clear snow off the vehicle’s roof before you clear the windows, and also brush the snow off the front hood and trunk before you head out. Skip this step and big clumps of snow could blow off while you’re driving, obstructing your view or that of another driver. Lighten the FogSometimes your visibility can be hampered from inside the car. Always keep the air vent set to “fresh” rather than “recirculate,” which can contribute to foggy windows. Your vehicle’s defroster can help reduce the problem, as can opening your windows slightly. For best results, use your air conditioner. Air conditioners are designed to remove moisture from the air, and they can do that job even when the heater is on. Finally, keep a clean microfiber cloth in the car to clear stubborn foggy spots. The driver and passengers should shake off as much snow and moisture from their clothes and shoes as possible before entering the car. This lessens the moisture level in the carpeting and upholstery and helps prevent fog buildup. Also, clean your interior windows at least once a week during the winter. Over time, film can build up on windows, increasing the potential for fogging. Your local automotive supply store also carries products that you can apply to reduce interior fogging.

“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” Isaiah 9:6 NKJV Greetings from FaithWalk Ministries – Bishop Harold G. Long, Pastor Morning worship service began at 10:30 a.m. “Oh Lord, How Excellent” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Opening Prayer by Elder Maurice Berry Scripture by Bro. Michael Thompson “You Brought Me Through This” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Offering (Seed Planting) was 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.” “Speak” – sung by FaithWalk Choir “Tell Him Yes” – sung by Bishop Long and FaithWalk Choir Bishop Long’s message was entitled, “My Opinion or the Truth” II Peter 1:17-19; Hebrews 11:3; Genesis 1:6-10: II Peter 3:5-8; St. John 1:1-3, 14-From these verses we know and understand that the heavens and the earth were created by the Word of God—this is the truth and not an opinion. From St. John 1:1-we know that Jesus Christ is the Word that was with God. From St. Matthew 5:18- we know that we are in the fulfilling of the Word of God (John 3:16). This is the truth and not an opinion. From Romans 6:23-we know that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ-this is the truth and not an opinion. Romans 1:16, 18-32: in verse 18, we learn to not suppress the truth with our opinions, like ungodly and unrighteous people (in example-saying that you don’t believe that the Word means what it says). Verse 20 references Hebrews 11:3. Verse 23 speaks of ungodly and unrighteous people becoming vain in their imaginations because they started having opinions about God’s Word. In verse 25- we learn that because of their opinions, they believe that the Word of God is not truth. Verses 25-32-lists sins of the ungodly. There are no degrees of sin. We are not to treat a person harsher because of a particular sin versus any other sin. We are to pray for the person to come out of sin. Jesus Christ came through divine birth to give us a rebirth from all sin. This is the truth and not and opinion. We need to thank God for not holding things against us like we do to each other! John 14:6-we learn that only through Jesus Christ can we be delivered from sin. Time was offered at the altar for prayer and salvation. Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us! Weekly service times: Tuesday at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Men and Women Support groups at 6 p.m., Thursday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 10:30 a.m., and 7 p.m. God bless you!

Sounds of Christmas music medleys and hymns played by Kathy Miller and Brenda Ensor filled the air for the worship service. Robert Hatton gave the invocation. Gale Wilkerson relayed a message of thanks from their sons, Jason and Eric, for prayers, Christmas cards and boxes they received from the congregation. They are serving in Afghanistan. A video was shown about the Lottie Moon Christmas offering. Missionaries in Zambia are taking training to deal with HIV infected persons while also dealing with their spiritual needs. Lindsey Mitchell gave the children’s sermon. She showed a candy cane. When she held it upside down she told them the “J” was for Jesus. With the candy cane upright it looks like a Shepherd’s crook. Jesus is our shepherd. She referenced John 10:11, Jesus says, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” Reverend Hammond gave the Advent Meditation. The peace we have with Christ should be a permanent part of our life. We can also have Joy and Love. With Christ’s love comes forgiveness. Billie Jo Hatton sang a special Christmas Medley. The congregational hymns were “Joy to the World”, “The First Nowell” “Away in a Manger”, and “What Child is this”. Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was entitled “Christmas Faith”, The Christmas Story, from Luke 2. Mary and Joseph had faith in their roles as the parents of Jesus. Elizabeth also showed faith. The lowly shepherds were immediately faithful and obedient when an angel appeared to them. They said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about”. So they hurried off to find Mary and Joseph, and the baby. They returned glorifying and praising God. They spread the word about what had been told them. Today we need to share Jesus with others. Our faith should be like that of Mary, Joseph, the shepherds and the wise men. We can be obedient in following Jesus and sharing Him with others.
The Paris First Christian Church braved icy conditions to hold worship on the Fourth Sunday of Advent, Dec. 22, with Reverend Donna Scott officiating. The morning message, “The Stepfather,” was based on Matthew 1:18-25. Anita Ness, Alice Baker, and Randy Boulware gave a reading and prayer on “Love,” before lighting the Advent candles. Others who participated were: Worship Leader Hazel Herron; Elders Anita Ness and Darlene Walsh; Diaconate Bob Mitchell, Ron Childers, Randy Boulware, and Tom Threlkeld; Acolyte Hannah Vaughn; and Organist Mary Jo Wilson. Announcements are: Wednesday, Dec. 25 - Office closed; Sunday, Dec. 29 - Special Music by Hallelujah Bells; Wednesday, Jan. 1 - Office closed; Sunday, Jan. 5 Annual Diaconate Meeting after worship; and Monday, Jan. 6 - Elders’ Meeting 7:30 p.m. Gerry Cain, Tammy Mason, Sandra Duncan, Patricia Brown, and Keith Flick celebrate birthdays this week. December Elder’s Helping Hands are Donald Johnson and Clint Chandler. Church contacts are (660) 3274440 or fc418@centurytel.net. We extend the Good News of God’s Love through our worship, education, and service to each other, our family, friends, and community. Everyone is welcome to attend Adult Sunday School at 9:30 a.m., Junior Church at 10:30 a.m., and worship at 10:45 a.m. Bible memory verse: The holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Luke 1:35. The thought for the week from Charles Dickens is: It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas when its mighty founder was a child himself.
l Fellowship e p s l Go Pastor Terry Davison
A lesson I have attempted to teach my children, as well as those who have worked with me in business and ministry is, “Three of the most important tools you possess are Patience, Persistence, and Patience”. I contend that there are a number of inherent personality traits indigenous to humanity, but these are not among them: they are rather chosen traits. Each day, we make choices about life. Those who expect more out of life will usually obtain it: and those who deem life a worthless, wasted effort, are seldom disappointed. It reflects the old “Glass half full versus the glass half empty” metaphor. I shall utilize a home spun metaphor of mine here, as ensample. The lioness is a great hunter. She stalks her prey for hours, standing motionless, waiting for the prey to move into just the right position before she attacks. She is practicing aggressive patience. If the prey gets away, she starts all over again…and again…and again, until success is had. This is patient aggression. James 1:3 tells us, “knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” The lioness always has faith that she will be victorious: God made her that way… and we too should have faith in victory, with God’s help. If the lioness is not persistent in her efforts, she will not only fail, but she shall not survive. Luke 21:19 teaches, “By your patience possess your souls.” Let us take a lesson from the lioness, and let those soul testing times work in us to create patience; that will win the day.

Friends Never Drift Apart party held Tuesday, Dec. 17
The Christmas dinner and party for Friends Never Drift Apart was held on Dec. 17, at the home of Gary and Diane Wilson. Special guests, Jean and Harold Wilson, were welcomed. Following dinner prepared by the hosts, the meeting was called to order by President Barb Alber. Roll call was answered by eight members and guest, Jean Wilson, who described various ways in which they decorate their homes with Precious Moments for the Christmas and shared memories about special items. Lena Fisher gave the devotional, “The Gift of God’s Love” and also read scripture from the second chapter of Luke. She used the figurine, “May the Blessing of the Holy Family Be with You” to illustrate the message. Minutes of the October 22, 2013, meeting were approved. Cynde Rosenburg gave the treasurer’s report which was also approved. Donations to both Christmas is Caring/Sharing in Monroe and Shelby Counties have been made. Jo Kampschmidt and Lena Fisher coordinated adoption of an “angel” (foster child). With donations from members, the club’s adopted angel received everything on the wish list thanks to Beth and Don Peters who donated shoes. Members expressed appreciation to Jo and Lena for taking care of this project. Lena shared that the Precious Moments Reunion will be held at the chapel on August 14-15, 2014. It is expected that Timothy’s Tower will be completed by that time. The door prize donated by Cynde Rosenburg went to Lena Fisher. Barb Alber challenged everyone with a most difficult Christmas song name game. Secret pal information sheets were filled out and drawn for the upcoming year. The Christmas gift exchange was then held with each member receiving a special gift while trying to guess who their secret pal had been all year. The next club meeting will be held on Feb. 18, 2014, at The Chicken Coop, in Shelbina. All are welcome to attend and may contact Jo Kampschmidt at The Chicken Coop or any other member for information.
