BITS-N-PIECES AMERICAN LEGION POST 498 Meets monthly at 7:30 p.m. on the 3rd Monday at the Firehouse. ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land. During WWII, a group was organized who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect. There is now a group organizing the same thing here in America. United States needs prayer now more than ever!!! If you would like to participate: each evening at 8:00 PM Central time, stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land and that Christianity will grow in the U.S. Most people know the power of prayer. We here in Ashland do!! Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have. Pass this on to anyone you think will want to join us. May God Bless You!!! Virginia Barbeque, June 5,6 & 7th
MAKING THE EARTH GREENER I’m sure most of you know that the city of Ashland pays to dump the recycle bin. It is evident that all who use it are concerned with the environment and want to do their part. You can make a bigger difference by flattening boxes and not putting plastics and cans in the bin in a bag. Open the bag, dump the things in, and then put the bag in a wad in the corner. Many more people will be able to put recyclables in, and much less will end up in the landfills. Thanks for your help.
