The Monroe County Appeal has a new intern for the summer weeks. Recent Paris High School graduate Russell Mitchell will work for the Monroe County Appeal for the next 10 weeks. Russell Mitchell, is the son of Joey and Kimberly Mitchell, and lives in rural Monroe County, near Paris. He has two siblings - his sister Hannah and brother Aidan. “Russell is a very outstanding young
man,” said Appeal Publisher David Eales. “He has been involved in numerous organizations over the years including FFA, FBLA, Student Council, 4-H and Track.” “We are expecting great things from him this summer,” added Eales. “He has a chance to learn and develop different skills while helping the newspaper create different content.” Eales explained that each newspa-
per in the Lewis County Press stable has a summer intern. “These interns will create original copy, sell advertising and layout their own individual pages each with their individual style,” explained the Appeal publisher. “I am excited to intern at the Monroe County Appeal because I will learn many new skills that I do not already have,” Continued to page 3
Paris Rotary Club celebrates 75th Anniversary, Chief Justice addresses club
The Paris Rotary Club held their 75th Anniversary Banquet, on Thursday, May 21, at the Paris High School cafeteria. On hand as the featured speaker was the Honorable Mary R. Russell, Chief Justice of the Missouri Supreme Court. Also on hand to present an award was former Chief Justice of the Missouri Supreme Court, the Honorable Duane Benton, Circuit Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Rotary President Jason Fleenor welcomed the assembled Rotarians and guests and Reverend and Rotarian Wesley Hammond gave the invocation prior to the meal. The evening’s excellent meal was catered and served by Chef Jeff, of Madison, and his able staff. The Chief Justice opened her remarks with a witty remark. “ Jason (Fleenor) called me and asked me if I believed in free speech,” said Chief Justice Russell. “I said of course and he asked me here tonight to speak.” Chief Justice Russell gave the attendees an overview of the history of Rotary International. She also outlined the accomplishments of the Paris Rotary Club as listed below. “One steadfast organization - the Paris Rotary Club continues to be a dedicated group of professionals committed to service before self, while making Paris and the community at large a good place to both live and work,” said Chief Justice Russell. “Why has this club survived the last 75 years? I submit to you that it is because the Paris Rotary Club has been comprised of civic-minded people who have been successful at serving the needs of Paris and its community.” Rotary Banquet...

Miscellaneous thoughts! Wow - it has been an extremely busy couple of weeks. With graduation ceremonies (at the same time I might add), sports districts, track districts, sectionals and state, awards programs and all the other end of year activities. Congratulations to all the successes of our students. They are truly amazing in all that they do. In the next few years I see big successes for our graduating students from both Paris and Madison. Congratulations to all our teacher award winners (see page 5). A big shout out and congratulations to this year’s Excellence in Teaching Award winner Kindergarten Teacher Ashley Crow and Outstanding Support Staff winner Cammie Anderson. These awards are sponsored by the PPEF and the Paris National Bank. Thank you to these organizations for stepping forward and supporting the community. These awards witness the high quality of the staff at our local schools. As our teachers and staff members succeed so do our students. Flags... Wow! The new flags at the Monroe County Courthouse light up what was an already amazing building. The 10 new flags are the work of the 14 Monroe County Elected Officials getting together and brainstorming an idea to make the grounds of the courthouse, impeccably landscaped by Debbie Cullifer, to be even better. According to Monroe County Commissioner Glenn E. Turner, the new flag poles will be reduced a little in size to make them

more manageable, and then be raised on special days. “We are going to leave them up here as Flag Day and the Fourth of July are only two weeks and then two weeks apart,” said Commissioner Turner. Thank you to all the elected officials for their gracious gift to the residents and visitors of our fine county. Interns... It is my pleasure to be able to work one on one with one of Paris R-II’s proud 2015 graduates. Russell Mitchell will make his Monroe County Appeal debut in next week’s issue of the paper. The Lewis County Press interns will try to provide that “wow” factor to their pages each week in the companies papers. Each paper (nine) have an intern. Another Paris R-II alum is interning as Danielle Wheelan, a 2014 graduate and Drury University student is interning down the road in Ralls County at the Ralls County Herald Enterprise. I can only imagine great things coming from these two dynamic, engaging, intelligent and enthusiastic individuals. Look for their pages each week for 10 weeks in both the Monroe County Appeal and the Ralls County Herald Enterprise.
MY TURN Our Flags
On Memorial Day, as I write this, we see many deserved tributes and memorials honoring those Americans who have paid the ultimate price in defense of our country. Prominent in these honors are numerous American flags, the symbols of our unity and pride of citizenship in this great country and the final memorable gift to the families of all those who served in the military. Included in these numbers are the 228,000 flags placed beside the tombstones in Arlington National Cemetery marking this Memorial Day. The flag is a strong symbol for Americans and many flags were displayed across this nation
after 911 to exhibit our solidarity in the face of that terrorist attack. Those who would oppose or dishonor America often resort to burning our flags or most recently walking on them. We should have a long memory of those insults and act accordingly. And those of us that display flags might do well to have a date each year, perhaps each Memorial Day, to check our flags to make sure they are not torn or soiled and continue to reflect the pride we have in our Country when we decide to fly our flag at our homes, businesses and public buildings.

These stoves burn like gas stoves while using gasoline that is converted into gas. The formal opening of the Paris Country Club will be held Monday evening, with the annual business session preceding the dance, music for which will be furnished by the Capitol Orchestra, a fine organization of instrumental artists. Miss Frances Flynt, daughter of Dr. Flynt of Paris, was married Saturday evening to Clyde Kenneth of near Molino. The bride has been preaching in the vicinity of her new home.

40th District Representative Capitol Report
by Rep. Jim Hansen
Session Comes to a Close This year’s legislative session came to an end on Friday, May 15. It has been a busy and productive as the 98th General Assembly worked to pass legislation that would benefit citizens across the state – including those of you in the 40th District. It was great hearing from those who called, emailed, or visited the office to express their concerns. I also enjoyed getting to participate in many discussions regarding the bills that were passed this session. Legislators obviously don’t always see eye to eye, but when looking back at this session, I can point to many great bills that were truly agreed to and finally passed. As the gavel dropped for the final time at 6 p.m., the House and Senate had a significant list of legislative accomplishments to be proud of, including: Fiscal Year 2016 State Operating Budget (HBs 1-13) – The legislature approved a $26.1 billion state operating budget that increases funding for K-12 education by $84 million to take total funding for public schools to the highest level in state history. The spending plan also increases higher education funding by $12 million and reins in the unsustainable growth of the state’s public assistance programs, including expanding use of managed care in the state Medicaid system. The budget bills have already been signed by the governor. Medical Malpractice Reform (SB 239) – Legislation to help keep doctors in Missouri and keep health care costs under control by restoring reasonable limits on medical malpractice non-economic damages. The legislation caps most noneconomic awards at $400,000. For catastrophic injuries such as paralysis or even death, the bill would cap noneconomic damages at $700,000. The medical malpractice legislation has already been signed into law by the governor. Welfare Reform (SB 24) - Legislation that will add new eligibility and work requirements for recipients of federal welfare benefits to help move them back to work so that they can become self-supporting and independent. The Heartland Institute had previously rated Missouri last in the nation in regard to its welfare program moving people back into the work force. The legislation was vetoed by the governor and then put into effect as law when both the House and Senate overrode the veto. Unemployment Reform (HB 150) – Legislation to strike a balance to ensure Missourians have access to unemployment benefits when they are out of work while also protecting Missouri’s job creators from excessive taxes and fees. The bill ties unemployment benefits to the unemployment rate and requires the unemployment fund to have more cash on hand. The bill was vetoed by the governor and the House overrode the veto. The Senate has yet to take action on the override motion. Data Center Incentives (SB 149) – Legislation designed to attract the booming industry of data storage to our state. The new law creates a powerful tool to help bring data center sites and the jobs they create to Missouri. The bill has already been signed into law by the governor. Dairy Revitalization Act (HB 259) - Legislation designed to revitalize Missouri’s struggling dairy industry that has seen more than 2,500 dairy farms close their doors in the past decade. The bill includes a dairy producer margin insurance premium assistance program to provide financial protection to dairy farmers when times get tough, and a scholarship program to encourage young people to pursue careers in agriculture. The bill has already been signed into law by the governor. Municipal Court Reform (SB 5) – Legislation that will crack down on the predatory practices some municipalities have used to raise revenue through excessive Continued to page 7

said Russell. “This internship has given me the opportunity to learn about advertising, writing, and more about our community. The people of Monroe County have done a lot for me and supported me tremendously so I feel as if I will be spreading great news about agriculture and what it is all about.” Mitchell noted, “4-H has been my biggest accomplishment. It has taught me the most out of every organization I have been involved in. Without 4-H I do not think that I would be the great young man that I am today, so I am told. I am currently the President of our 4-H club named Paris Patriots. I have also been involved on the State level of 4-H. I have been a Mis-
souri State 4-H Council Regional Representative for the past two years and am currently a Missouri State 4-H Council Presidential Candidate. 4-H has also taught me that I really like talking to people. Since I have figured this out I have decided to major in Hospitality Management.” Starting this fall Mitchell is going to attend Moberly Area Community College (MACC) for his general education credits before heading to the University of Missouri - Columbia, to major in Hospitality Management. “When he comes calling stop and talk to Russell - he is an engaging young man, well worth the time it takes to get to know him,” said Eales.
Summer lunch program needs donations, support
Last summer, individuals, businesses, churches, and civic groups in the communities of the Paris and Holliday school districts worked together to provide lunches for approximately fifty children whose families might otherwise have struggled without the help that they get from school lunches the rest of the year. Local partners have once again committed to provide sack lunches for students whose families indicate that they would like to participate. A letter went home to Paris and Holliday students so that those who need help can register for the program. We are making every reasonable effort to respect the privacy of those who are involved. Generous donations and volunteers in previous years have provided meals for ten weeks of the summer, so we are planning to provide lunches for weekdays from June 1 through August 7. Each Sunday evening, families will pick up

Rotary Club Banquet... Continued from front Chief Justice Russell listed the “Top Ten” reasons why the Paris members and all members are Rotarians. “10. Opportunity to serve. 9. Nice people. 8. Ethics. 7. Citizenship in the World. 6. Public speaking skills enhanced (Rotary develops confidence). 5. Continuing Education (from having a speaker each week at their meeting). 4. Leadership development. 3. Business development. 2. Fun! 1. Friendship – Rotary provides the basic need of friendship and fellowship. “I am honored to celebrate your 75th Anniversary and congratulate you on the many successes that your club has had; I wish you another productive 75 years and when you have that banquet please invite me back,” said Chief Justice Russell in closing. Chuck Brazeale introduced all the Rotarians and guests in a manner only he can – from memory. President Fleenor also presented guests from Rotary International, District 6060 including District Governor Jill Baldwin Walker and members from local Rotary Clubs including Centralia, Columbia, Hannibal, Mexico and Moberly. President Fleenor introduced Judge Duane Benton, President of the Kansas City Rotary Club. Judge Benton gave the group an overview of the Rotary including the groups defeat of Polio. He noted that polio is found in only two countries now. Judge Benton presented a Distinguished Rotarian Award to Paul Harris Fellow Plus One, Floyd Lawson, the oldest Paris Rotary Club member who joined the club in 1972. Brief History of the Paris Rotary Club Through the efforts of postmaster M. J. Heathman and Hannibal Rotarian Thatch Guernsey, a group of business and professional men of Paris met on Monday night, May 13, 1940 and decided to form a Rotary Club in Paris. On May 16, 1940, the Club was established
with 16 members, and was officially chartered the following day. On May 22, 1940, 130 Rotarians and spouses (“Anns”, as they were known) gathered at the Baptist Church for a dinner and presentation of the Charter. Clubs from all surrounding towns were represented, and written greetings came from Rotary Clubs of Paris, Illinois, Paris, Kentucky, and Paris, Texas. By the evening of the first Rotary Ann party, held at the Baptist Church on November 7, 1940, membership had grown to 24. Since its inception, this Club has worked to honor the Rotary goal of “service above self.” On four occasions, it was awarded the Presidential Citation for its service endeavors. In the past 10 years, the Club has awarded $7,500 in scholarships to worthy high school seniors, has contributed $18,000 to various non-profit organizations working to make our community better, and has donated $5,000 in sponsorships to students attending Rotary Youth Leadership Association (RYLA) and Missouri Boys/Girls State. The Club also supports Rotary’s national and international efforts, having contributed approximately $25,000 to those causes. Our current roster contains nine “Paul Harris Fellows”, so recognized for their generosity to Rotary International. A major annual project since 1992 is the “TopFive Recognition Banquet” honoring the top academic graduates of Paris High School, in which a successful Paris graduate returns to serve as a motivational guest speaker. Rotary assistance was instrumental in the first “Blow Cancer Away” banquet in 2011, which raises money for assistance of local families affected by cancer. Rotary volunteers have also been active in supporting the annual “Fall into Paris” community event, as well as in endeavors to improve the Paris fairgrounds. The Club crossed the gender barrier September 1, 1988, with the admission of its first woman member, postmaster Sally Campbell. Since that date, the club has had numer-

Spring Maintenance For Your Home
By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent
Once spring has sprung, take some time to give your home a check-up along with its annual springcleaning. Adding these home maintenance tips to your routine can help your house operate more efficiently. Outside The House Check The A/C Have a qualified HVAC contractor? Preferably one that belongs to the Air Conditioning Contractors of America to come out to give your air-conditioning system a tune-up. To help lower your energy bills, do this every year to ensure the system is running at its manufacturer-rated efficiency. Also make sure to inspect your system’s condensate drain hose, especially if you live in a humid climate. This hose could become clogged with algae and sediment, and your contractor may charge you more to clean it out. Avoid this extra cost by checking the hose periodically yourself. Use a wet-vac to suction any blockage out from it. Roofs And Gutters The hot summer sun can quickly damage a roof ’s shingles, so you may want to call a contractor if you haven’t inspected your roof in several years. Clean out the leaves and other debris that have collected in them. Then check to see if the gutters are safely attached and haven’t sprung any leaks. Also, make sure that downspouts direct water away from the house’s foundation, to prevent a potential basement flood. Right The Foundation For further basement flood protection, inspect the foundation around your house before the spring rains. Look for cracks or imperfections, and seal them or call a contractor if necessary. Also look for low areas in the yard near the foundation that might pool water during a heavy rain. Level these yard depressions by filling them with compacted soil. Tend to any other “ponding” areas around the yard, too, because after a hard rain, standing water can develop. These puddles can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Seal The Deck If you have a patio deck, inspect the wood for stains, discolorations, or warping. If you find any, consider resealing the deck. To verify that your old application still works, pour some water onto the dry deck and check to see that it beads up. Most deck-sealer manufacturers recommend resealing annually, but if there are no immediate problems worth addressing, you can likely wait until the following spring to reseal. Check for any sharp edges, splintered wood, or rotting wood. Also look for rusting nails or any nails that are coming out or weakening their connections. And be sure to check the railings and stairs to make sure they are secure and not wobbly. Ready The Soil Spring is the season to prepare for new growth in your garden. Rake beds of leaves and other leftover winter debris. Use a hoe to churn and loosen the soil, and mix in compost for nutrients. If you?ll be planting new seeds, follow the instructions provided on the seed packet for the best results. Inside The House The Water Heater Look around the base of your water heater for evidence of leaks. The average lifespan of a water heater is 8-12 years. If your water heater is over 5 years old, it should be checked monthly for any leakage or rusting at the bottom. If water leakage or rust is found, the water heater should be replaced. If you live in an area with particularly hard water, you may need to drain your water heater because of the sediment buildup in the tank. The Basement And Attic Does your attic or basement smell musty? If you have an attic, check it for leaks from the roof. Inspect the underside of the roof and the insulation closely for any discoloration, deterioration or dirt stains, as the leaking water might have dried up. Check the basement walls, floor, and trim for water stains or any signs of seepage through the foundation. There are a number of flooding causes; read more about wet basements for preparation. While you’re down there, keep a close eye on your sump pump, making sure it is still in good working order, and has a battery backup in place if necessary. - See more at: http://learningcenter.statefarm.com/ residence/maintenance/spring-maintenance-tips-foryour-home/#sthash.yBtuxC8i.dpuf

CHURCH NEWS
As Sally Blakemore, pianist, played the prelude, the congregation of Holliday Christian Church gathered for worship. All were welcomed by Reverend David Holmes. Memorial service for Darlene Dawson will be held at 11 a.m., on Saturday, May 30, in Madison. Happy birthday was sung to Julann McLaughlin and Blaine Bergthold. The congregation stood to sing the opening hymn, “O, Beautiful for Spacious Skies”; singing was followed by pastoral prayer and Gloria Patri. Prayer concerns were expressed for: Ray Parrish, Lysa Holmes and Travis Brown (son of Sharon Poage). Sympathy was extended to the family of Donnie Willingham. The joy of Sara McMorris’ safe arrival in South Africa was shared. Praises were given for Gerald Roberts’ completion of treatments. “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” was the prayer hymn. Pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer followed. The congregation was called to the symbolic communion service by singing, “I Need Thee Every Hour”. Serving at the Lord’s Table as elders were Jerry Ragsdale and Gary Wilson and as deacons, Nellis Kotsenburg and Gerald Roberts. Following the sharing of communion and collection of offerings, the doxology was sung. Reverend Holmes’ morning message, “The Breath of God”, was centered on the Pentecost – 50 days (8th Sunday following Easter). Scripture from John 15:2617 and 16:4-15 was referenced. The importance of Pentecost is to be celebrated and the Christ is lifted up on this day. In our baptism, the spirit of God comes into our lives and remains – calling us to worship and to His service. Most will not notice that the spirit is there, but are guided to be the type of person each of us should be – seeing the world through the eyeglasses of God. Worship was closed with the hymn of invitation and dedication, “Beneath the Cross of Jesus”, followed by a closing prayer and “The Spirit Song”. A time of fellowship and refreshments was enjoyed. Bible Study was opened with prayer by Jim McMorris. From “365 Things God Wants Us to Know”, Linda Wilkerson read God’s Spirit Helps You Pray.” The group was then led in study of Chapter 13 of Romans by Jim McMorris. Services begin are held at 9:30 a.m., each week at Holliday Christian Church followed by Bible Study at 10:30 a.m. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
On May 24 church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church activities of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. Announcements included: May 29, at 9 a.m., will be the packing of summer lunches for kids at FBC Paris, May 30, from 6 – 7:30 p.m., will be a Fish Fry benefit for Christmas is Caring, June 13 in the NEMO Gospel Sing at Paris Fairgrounds, and on June 20, at 7 p.m., will be Singspiration at the church. The message today was titled ‘Remembering Heroes’ and came from 2 Timothy 2:1-4. We begin by thanking those who have served in the military, both past and present. We must be sensitive to those hurting on this holiday for some have recently lost loved ones. To these I would like to say Ps.34:18, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” The Lord is ready to minister to you and show you your grief will be temporary (Rev.21:4). Having spent seven years in the military I know the mindset of a solider is different than that of a civilian. This is because the solider is directly engaged in the battle being fought. Soldiers give up their freedoms so others have theirs. Paul tells Timothy to endure hardships to be a good soldier of Christ and we need this message today. Many Christians avoid hardships in Christ name for ease of life. Enduring hardships for Christ produces faith many Christians do not even dream of having. This type of faith fuels the soldier’s purpose in life (Ezekiel 33:6). The purpose of the Christian is to bring glory to God through Christ and His Word. If we do not fulfill our purpose in life we suffer a lack of growth and our society suffers. This faith fuels the soldier to fulfill the leader’s will. A true soldier’s only goal is to follow his orders to fulfillment. Spreading the Gospel of Christ and His truth without compromise is the Christians commission (Mt.28:18-20). This type of faith fuels the focus called for in 1 Cor. 16:13 and gives the ability to stand firm in the face of adversity. The soldier must also be courageous (Ps. 27:3-4). Courage is the proper action in the face of fear. Courage comes from having a life focused on Jesus. Jesus gives the courage when we see Him walk with us through the troubled times in His name. The Christian’s courage is not his own but his Master’s courage. The soldier is also called to remembrance of God’s commands. Scriptures like Duet. 8:11; Ps. 105:5, 2 Kings 17:38; 2 Tim. 2:8 and many more. How do these Scriptures fit in your life today? How well have you remembered to serve your God? We are also called to remember those personal heroes of the faith. Those who taught us about Jesus and the examples they set for us. Do you live up to the example these people set for you to follow? No example is better than Jesus but we all need something with skin every now and then. Joseph Campbell said, “A hero is someone who has given their life to something bigger than oneself.” Make that something Jesus and your fellow man. Be a remembered soldier.
“Worship God - Why?” was the title of Pastor Kenny Sharp’s sermon with scripture text taken from Psalm 95:1-7, 45:11b, John 4:23-24 and Matthew 15:1-11. Why do we worship God? Why do we gather at church on Sunday mornings? Do you keep your praises quiet and solemn or are you excited to show your love for God? We are to praise God with shouts and thanksgiving -- do it joyfully! Memorial Day is one day a year that we give thanks to those who fought for our freedom -- God should be given thanks everyday because He gave us our freedom by sending His Son to die on the cross for each one of us and our sins. Stop replacing the Truth with manmade doctrine!! Live by the Word -- not what man says! Serving at the Lord’s Table were Wayne Conley, Charlie Thomas, Bill Miller, Donnie Wilkerson, Dennis Kendrick and Charlie Horstmeier. Prayers were requested for many friends and family members along with traveling mercies for those traveling this holiday weekend. Sierra Brown is now in Haiti with a group of friends on another mission trip there. Praises were also shared for happenings this past week. Thank you notes were read from the Paris After Prom committee, Sierra Brown and Connor and Jennifer Delozier. Louann White came forward at the end of the service to transfer her membership to our congregation. Susan Kendrick invited everyone to come and join in every night this week with VBS -- going to Nazareth. The stage has been changed into the stone walls of Biblical times designed and constructed by Brian Chase and others. Please come and join us even if it is one night of the week. A family wiener roast will be held Friday night followed by a movie on the pad at dusk. No lock in will be held this year. A baby dedication will be held for Jaxon Anderson, infant son of Lexie and Jared Anderson, on Sunday, June 7. A baby shower will be held following worship service that day with a luncheon hosted by Terry Taylor, Jessica Chase and Bev Holmes. Please RSVP to them if you plan on attending. There will be no Bible study this week due to VBS. Sunday School is held every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. This week the VBS program will replace worship service. Please come and join in to see what the children learned during the week and to see all of their craft projects.
Sunday Services were held at Madison Christian Church on Sunday, May 24, with 36 members and guests in attendance. Rev. Holmes greeted the congregation and led the announcements. Joys and concerns were expressed before Rev. Holmes led the congregation in prayer, followed by the Lord’s Prayer. The Adult Choir sang a patriotic medley for special music. The Lord’s Supper was observed and tithes and offerings were given. Rev. Holmes delivered the morning message, “Happy Birthday from the Unknown God”, using John 15:26-27; 4b-15. All were invited to Christian Discipleship. Announcements: Youth Group meets Sunday evenings from 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Adult Choir will practice Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.; Worship under the shelter (weather permitting) on Sunday, June 7; The Official Board will meet at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10; Worship at Wildwood, Sunday, June 14, at 2 p.m. Father’s Day Breakfast will be Sunday, June 21, at 8 p.m. Serving next Sunday: Junior Hulen and Twana Hulen, Elders; Joe Hulen, Kahler Mitchell, Angela Purdy, and Taylor Salmons, Diaconate.

an Church hristi C e ill G r anv Pastor Fran Schnarre Granville Christian Church hosted a Relay for Life benefit craft show last Saturday at the Madison Community Center and raised about $1200. Thanks to all who worked on this. On Sunday, May 31, we will honor our graduates with recognition in worship and a carry-in lunch. The sermon will be “We can’t shut up!” and the interactive Bible story will be “Jump Up!” These are based on Acts 3 and 4. Each Sunday at Granville church, we get involved in an interactive Bible story so that the children (and adults) will remember it. The adult sermon is linked to the story in such a way that the children will be able to understand parts of it, also. Music is chosen for that theme. Please contact Brenda Coffman with names and addresses of soldiers in combat zones. There are funds available to send quite a few packages. We also have cookbooks to sell to benefit Relay for Life. Come spend an hour in worship and praise of the One who created you and constantly re-creates you (May 31, June 7 and 21). Sunday School is held at 10 a.m., every Sunday and communion follows on the weeks when we do not have worship services.
The May 24 worship service was at 9 a.m., which was Pentecost and Memorial Sunday. Pastor Bonnie Sudsberry, gave the message, “Jesus Says Obey His Word” using John 1-16 as the scripture. John 16: 4-16 was the scripture read by Shelby Arnold. The specials were, Jane Wilsdorf gave the history of the hymn, “I Will Sing the Wondrous Story,” written by Peter P. Bilhorn. The Little Sermon, “Pentecostal Power” was given by Konnie Wilson. Sunday, May 31, is Trinity Sunday and Peace With Justice Sunday offering taken. Monday, June 1, is Adult Bible Study 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 3, is Administrative Council Meeting 7 p.m. Sunday, June 14, is our Fellowship Dinner to honor our graduates 12 Noon.
Mary Stahlschmidt came forward after prayer and accepting Christ as her Savior to be baptized. Reverend Wesley Hammond requested a private moment for each church member to reflect on a person, now deceased, who had been influential in their life. Michael Hammond provided special music playing his guitar and singing, “Mighty to Save”. Steve Ensor gave the Call to Worship. Jimmie Stewart gave the children’s sermon. He talked to them about Adam & Eve. They had a beautiful garden and they disobeyed God by eating fruit from the tree of knowledge in the center of the garden, which God had instructed them not to eat. Jimmie showed them three balloons that represented our life. The first two burst and he told the children that if we let the devil in our life, we lose contact with God and our life can be destroyed. The last balloon did not burst and that represented an obedient life to God. Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was titled “Why Obedience Matters”, from Acts 5:21-32. God wants everyone to be filled with the Holy Spirit and obedient to God. When Peter was brought before the high priest and the Sanhedrin for preaching about Jesus, Peter replies to them, in Verse 32, “We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” The Holy Spirit gives us power as it did to the disciples. Peter had been a coward but when he received the Holy Spirit and was obedient to God his fear was removed. We must obey God and be prepared to carry out His will in our life. UPCOMING EVENTS: (All events p.m. unless otherwise designated.) Friday morning, May 29, 9:30 a.m., help fix food for Summer lunches. Sunday, May 31, Sunday School 9:30 a.m.; Morning worship, 10:45 a.m.; 5th Sunday Fellowship, 5:30, Carter Hall, bring favorite casserole, salad will be provided.

Pastor Scott also gave a Children’s Message, distributing red hots to the children reminding them of the tongues of fire for Pentecost. The congregation saluted the flags and recited the Pledges of Allegiance to the American and Christian flags. The Call to Worship recognized all who have served our country.

The disciples were empowered to share the Holy Spirit as shown in the life of Jesus Christ. We are witnesses to this Spirit and share the joy it brings. “Spirit of God” was the invitation hymn. The pastor gave the benediction and the service closed singing “God Bless America”.

Pastor John played guitar and sang “Old Guitar Man”. Kaylee Beckham led the Offertory as Patti played “Spirit of God, Descend Upon My Heart”. The Message “God of the Ashes and Dust” was based on scripture from Ezekiel 37:1-14 where Ezekiel has a vision where the Holy Spirit led him to do what God wanted him to do... Seeing the evil faces - speaking to hurting people - sitting in a valley of bones he asked “can these bones live?” God answered, “I will make breath to you!” Where we can live with the breath of God... the Lord can open up your graves and you will live and have the spirit of God in you! God says to us “ I will not give up on you”. Disease - sadness - relationships are all things that can make us feel like an old dried up sack of bones. God can mend all things. He will bring you back just as the prophesy of Ezekiel He will come back just at the right time! Let God breathe new life into you today! Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m., and all are invited to come hear the word of the Lord. Located seven miles west of Perry on Hwy. 154 then two miles south on blacktop E.

palities can generate from traffic tickets to 20 percent, which is down from the current limit of 30 percent. The bill further limits municipalities in St. Louis County to a 12.5 percent cap. The bill currently awaits the governor’s signature. Education Reform (HB 42) – Legislation designed to address the school transfer issue to give the 62,000 children in failing schools the opportunity to receive a world class education. It would allow students in failing schools to move to better performing schools in their current district, or possibly attend a charter school or take advantage of a virtual school option. The bill currently awaits the governor’s signature. Worker Freedom Legislation (HB 116) - For the first time in Missouri’s history the General Assembly passed a Right-to-Work bill to give workers the freedom to choose whether to join a union. The bill is meant to make Missouri a more attractive location for new and existing job creators. The bill has been sent to the governor for his consideration. Legislature Approves Several Unheralded Bills to Help Missourians While the General Assembly passed several important pieces of priority legislation that received ample amounts of media attention, the members of the House and Senate also pushed other bills to the governor’s desk that will make a substantive, positive difference in the lives of many Missouri families. In total, the legislature gave final approval to 131 pieces of legislation this session with 76 of those bills coming from the House and 55 from the Senate. Next week’s Capitol Report will include information on many other bills that will soon be law and have a positive impact on the state despite being ignored by the media.

This is the same process used for making camping reservations throughout the regular camping season. Once again, three camping loops will be available for reservations- Fox, Eagle Point and Nighthawk. People making reservations in either Fox (sites 96-122) or Eagle Point (sites 123-177) loops will be required to decorate for the event. An individual making reservations will be allowed to make a total of four reservations per call or web transaction. Please keep in mind that each site will need to have a separately assigned name to it. The Mark Twain Lake Chamber of Commerce will be charging an admission fee of $5.00 per vehicle for each night of the event to help provide park visitor safety services for the event and other incidental expenses related to the event. The charge will be applicable to the hours of the event each night (Fri. Oct. 16th from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. and Sat. Oct. 17th from 4 p.m.-9 p.m.). Only registered campers who have paid a camping fee and show their correlating hang tag will be exempt from this charge. The charge will not be taken at the fee booth but rather at the entrance to the East Campground, where the event takes place. Having exact change upon approaching the event will help expedite wait time and reduce long lines at the entry point. Change for 2014: In an effort to help reduce congestion on Saturday the 17th of the event, the Fox and Eagle Point loops will be closed to drive through traffic starting at 4:00 p.m. until 9 p.m. The loops will be closed to traffic at the same times as in previous years for Friday the 16th of the event, 6 p.m.-9 p.m., to accommodate those trying to set up on Friday before the event. Although it is not required, many of the campers provide candy to the children that trick-or-treat from site to site during the event. Please keep in mind that throughout the weekend of 2014, we had over 4,800 people in attendance for this event with a large percentage of those attendees being children. Any candy that is given out must be commercially wrapped. If you need additional information, please contact the M.W. Boudreaux Memorial Visitor Center at 573-565-2112 or email us at marktwaininfo@usace. army.mil.

It is difficult to find the words to express how grateful we are for the support you gave us during our time of loss of our loved one, Jean Wilson.

To Shirley Grant and Jane Akers – thank you for sharing your talents to honor your friend in such a special way. To Jim and Pam Reinhard and Lori Cullom, thank you for your professional, yet compassionate help in planning a special service. To our church family of Granville Christian Church, thank you for your assistance with the dinner, preparing the church for the service and to all those who parked cars. To Judy Wilhoit, thank you for staying at the house when we needed to be away. To the congregation of Holliday Christian Church, thank you so much for your kindness and support and for the delicious meal served to the family. To all who said a prayer for us, who called to offer words of support, who sent flowers and cards, who brought food and who donated to the memorials, we hope that we can somehow repay each of you in your time of need. How truly blessed we were to have a special lady as wife, mother, sister, aunt and “Grammie”. It was evident by the number who attended the service how many lives Jean blessed and how many souls she touched.
