PERRY CHRISTIAN CHURCH VBS JULY 20-24, 6-8 P.M.

Perry Christian Church will host Vacation Bible School July 20-24 from 6-8 p.m. The theme is “The Weird Animals”.

Ralls County Resale Opens David Whitley recently opened a resale store at 414 South Main Street in New London. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do,” said David who follows in the footsteps of his grandparents and an uncle who had resale stores in New London and Hannibal. David grew up in New London and can remember when Main Street was lined with stores. Opening his store is his hope that “New London will get up and going again.”

Ralls County Resale has a large open display area and a shop in the back. David has brought together a variety of items for the consumer, both found items and those he has crafted himself. “My favorite thing is making things back there and bringing them up front and selling them,” he said with a smile.

The store carries a wide variety of items.

There is some used furniture, household items and a few antiques. “It helps young people who are just starting out,” he said.

There are a lot of items that people now refer to as “recycling” items. David prefers the term “primitive recycling” since he refurbishes and refinishes some pieces and makes benches, cabinets, tables and chairs from discarded pieces of furniture and old pieces of wood. He also makes furniture out of logs which have turned out to be popular and are soon sold out.

There is a kerosene lantern in the window that David has converted into a lamp.

Scattered throughout are floral arrangements in hand-crafted birdhouses, old tool boxes and watering cans.

The store is open from noon to 5 p.m.

Monday through Wednesday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Saturday; and they are closed on Sunday.

VIEWS AND COMMENTS From the Editor

by Editor Carolyn Trower

July is full of reunions and festivals, county fairs and craft shows. People gather with their families and friends to share old memories and make new ones. Grandparents get to spoil the little ones with cotton candy and funnel cakes and lots of carnival rides. 4-H clubs showcase their prize animals and indoor exhibits.

My favorite part of this wonderful time is the joy that comes when you connect with someone you haven’t seen in a long time. The 4th of July provided a good op-

portunity to do just that.

There were two class reunions that weekend and the local eating establishments were brimming with table hopping people sharing phone numbers and emails. Age obviously didn’t slow the brain cells as a number of them also pulled out tablets and quickly established contact with old friends.

We laughed and shared pictures of our grandkids and asked about those who weren’t here. Funny how kids growing up in the middle of a cornfield can scatter across the

THE SHELL GAME So, where are the cicadas? Remember about two or three weeks ago when we were warned that by now our ears would think they were in the front row at a heavy metal concert? I was enjoying the breeze as I snapped green beans under a shade tree when the sound of silence caught up to me. As I peered up into the tree, not a single set of red eyes peered back at me.

Closer inspection revealed no open-back exoskeletons left stuck on the tree bark.

I wonder if the little critters somehow knew this summer cold-snap was on the way. Anyhow, yet another government forecast maintains continuity.

Now that I think about this year’s crop of lightening bugs seems to have come on late and be few in number. Hopefully the same will occur with the grasshoppers, crickets and horseflies.

Apparently the relatively pleasant weather much of the country enjoyed over the Fourth of July holiday gave one mother the opportunity to photograph her daughter recreating the vintage Coppertone ad. The press coverage did not mention the age of the daughter, but basically that Facebook disallowed (would that be unfriend?) the post. I’m betting that this mom would have com-

country and in some cases across the world. Sadly, we also noted the passing of a few of our classmates and friends. Some, no one seemed to know about; they were a question mark with no family member to ask about their whereabouts. I wonder if, somewhere, they sit and think about the friends and classmates they knew “way back when?”

I also wonder if our grandkids will have the same kinds of memorymeshing experiences we did. Things seem to change so fast and techpletely unglued had someone else photographed her daughter and succeeded in posting the same picture.

Why is it that the parental paparazzi are so obsessed with recording moments of their children’s lives which can only lead to later embarrassing display?

There is talk of developing a cell phone for five-yearolds. If it includes a camera, payback time may be closer than adults realize.

Sadly, embarrassment is one of the least detrimental experiences adults inflict upon the young. Children are exposed to chemicals and the risk of fire and explosion while adults manufacture drugs. Children are caught in the crossfire of crime and turf feuds. Children as young as two or three are being medicated for hyperactivity by adults who want them subdued and doctors who want to sell meds. What healthy two, three or four-year-old is not hyperactive?

And, of course, there is the summer saga of children left in hot cars. Anyone remember the days when locked vehicles and sealed windows were an oddity?

And everyone paid-at-thepump because the person who delivered the fuel and washed the windows did the leg work.

In many jurisdictions, leaving a child alone in a vehicle (locked/unlocked running or not) is grounds for arrest. In some instances it is legal for a passerby to break out a window to get access. (But officer, I thought the laptop was a child.)

All things intended to protect those who cannot protect themselves (children, pets, and yes, the elderly or disabled) should rightfully be topics of concern. We could install a pressure switch in each child’s car seat, like that of a lawnmower, hooked to a warning light or audio. We could do a lot of things. We could make a lot of rules.

We cannot mechanize or legislate concern anymore than we can bring back the village to raise the child.

It is a shame that the effects of globalization have transformed our safe room in a prison. Protecting our children is not just what adults do, it is the best prospect for a way out.

up to proper elevation; they would just fill it with Pendergast concrete. In some places north of Oak Grove, H Highway is nine feet thick concrete.

On the plus side, the state took the roads over

a few years ago and put asphalt over the concrete in order to widen the roads. After almost 80 years when they added the asphalt, there were no pot holes in the 225 miles of concrete.

Primary Election

ROADS… There are about 8,000 counties in the United States. Jackson County, Missouri was the first to have all hard-surfaced roads. Even today, you can tell when you enter Lafayette County from Jackson by the gravel roads.

It all started in 1928 when Presiding Judge Harry Truman talked the voters into passing a 6.5 million dollar bond issue to concrete roads in Eastern Jackson County so that no farmer was over 2 ½ miles from a hard surface road. The bonds passed by a 3 to 1 majority. The only design flaw in the roads, they didn’t think cars would ever go over 30 m.p.h. Drivers today not familiar with these roads would be going 60 m.p.h. on a straight stretch for three or four miles, then come to a turn

designed for a Model A Ford going 30. This flaw provides a lot of business for tow trucks and body shops in Jackson County.

Historians give Harry credit for letting the contract for these paved roads to the low bidder rather than to the buddies of political boss Tom Pendergast. What the historians missed was that the Iowa contractor who got the contract to pave the roads had to buy the concrete from the Ready Mix concrete plant owned

by Tom Pendergast. The contractor ended up going bankrupt. My dad was paid $3 for a twelvehour day working with his horse team and a slip (a two handled scoop to move dirt). My dad said there were some places instead of putting in a fill to bring the road bed

nology has changed the scope of their perception.

They still participate in sports and spelling bees and giggle in the hallways and on the playground.

And if they learn their lessons from a smart board and a laptop, they still learn together – in classes where they will form friendships that will span the years.

I wish for all those “little ones” the joy and fun that I shared with my friends during our years growing up. I wish them the exhilaration of new adventures, listening to music together, sweat and cheers at games, and most of all the safety and serenity that comes from growing up in a quiet little town in the middle of nowhere.

From Our Readers Dear Editor, What a huge disappointment it was to receive my new book “Ralls County Missouri History & Families” book put out by the Ralls County Historical Society Book Committee. After 2 1/2 years and many broken deadlines and lame excuses, I received my book in the mail. The book was sold as an updated version of what Goldena Roland Howard put out in 1980 with her book “Ralls County Missouri”. Howard’s book had between 400–500 pages. It did not include all families in Ralls County and the hope was that the new book would.

The Ralls County Historical Society Book Committee heavily seated with Perry and Center residents were provided with many hundreds of biographies on Ralls County families that had been typed and included photos along with other areas of the county not covered like eastern Ralls County for the new book. Several had put much time and expense into creating these biographies with photos and forwarding them/mailing them to the Ralls County Historical Society. Information about communities and landmarks in Eastern Ralls County were also included. How much of this information made it in the new book? The answer: absolutely none. A previous news release by the Ralls County Historical Society indicated that the new book would have

300 to 400 pages in it and for everyone to send in biographies on Ralls County families “the more the better”. How many pages are in the new book?

The answer: 192 pages…

This new book reflects the incompetence of the Ralls County Historical Society’s book committee to include all or most of the information provided to them. They didn’t. What was their motive for not doing so?

Laziness? Incompetence?

This book should have been named “the Perry and Center Missouri History book (with little info about the rest of the county)”.

What a sorry excuse and missed opportunity to improve on Goldena Roland Howard’s book of 1980.

The Ralls County Historical Society and its book committee should be ashamed of their neglect to include all of the biographies provided to them and the additional data and photos on little known communities in eastern Ralls County.

It appears that the society had too many projects that diverted their attention away from the one project everyone was hoping to be a true legacy and success, “the Ralls County History & Families” book.

The result is a beautiful book with little content, 192 pages. You blew this one, Ronald Leake and historical society!

John Smith Mason Trail Saverton, Missouri

Dear Editor: We would like to thank our local citizens for the trust and confidence they place in us to protect and serve our communities.

We try our best to respond to all calls for assistance and strive to sensibly enforce our traffic and municipal ordinances.

Increasingly, our calls involve state law matters such as drug and alcohol incidents, property crimes, assaults and sexual offender violations. All State law matters are referred to the Prosecuting Attorney.

We are routinely in court and recognize the considerable criminal case load being handled by the Prosecuting Attor-

ney.

We are grateful that the Ralls County Commission has allowed the following question to appear on the August 5 ballot: “Shall the office of Prosecuting Attorney be made a full-time position in Ralls County?”

We are asking all residents to respond to our call to go to the polls on August 5 and join us in voting yes for a full-time Prosecuting Attorney in Ralls County.

Respectfully, Bill Mickels, Chief of Police City of Center

Dear Editor, I received my copy of the new Ralls County History & Families Book and boy was I ever disappointed in it. I waited over two years for my copy after the many deadlines had come and gone. They misrepresented to the public that this book would be in the 300 - 400 page size and instead it was only about 190 pages. I was told that some local historians had contributed much information to the Ralls County Historical Society book committee but they neglected to even use any of it. What a disgrace!

They should have done a better job of covering the entire county and using the typed materials that they were provided with. No ex-

cuses on this one. They screwed up....bigtime!

A lot more family biographies could have been included in this new book but unfortunately wasn’t.

A lot more photos too were provided of locations and families but they were not used either.

More coverage about Perry and Center in the new book and very little on the rest of the county.

What biases by the book committee. The publisher, Acclaim Press, is definitely pointing the finger at the Ralls County Historical Society’s Book Committee on fouling this book up.

Thank you, J.D. Martin RFD New London, MO 63459

Dear Ralls County Voter: Recently, the Ralls County Commission authorized the following proposition to appear on the ballot on August 5, 2014, to-wit: Shall the office of the Prosecuting Attorney be made a full-time position in Ralls County? __ Yes __ No I encourage you to mark the “yes” box on your August 5 ballot.

Please consider the following: In 2013, I filed 768 traffic citations and other infractions and 327 felony and misdemeanor cases. According to Missouri Case.Net, Pike County, our neighbor to the South, filed 326 felony and misdemeanor cases. Pike County approved a transition from a part-time prosecutor to a full-time prosecutor in 2002. Currently, 63 Counties in Missouri have full-time prosecutors and 53 Counties have pari-time prosecutors.

Additional duties of my office are: Probation violation reviews, filings and hearings, compilation and completion of annual forfeiture and seizure reports to the Missouri State auditor, bad check collection, representation of the Missouri Department of Revenue in drivers license suspension and/or revocation cases involving Ralls County residents, release of evidence reviews, child fatality review board, drafting, reviewing and interpreting County ordinances, review of County contracts and leases, general legal opinions and advise as requested by the County Commission and, most importantly, crime victim notification, explanation of victim rights, assisting in crime victim compensation applications and collection and disbursement of restitution to crime victims.

Further, Ralls County does not operate a jail. In 2013, Ralls County paid $377,240.28, primarily to Marion County, to house its inmates. As of June 15, 2014, Ralls County had expended $265,110.46 to house its inmates which projects to a board bill of $582,905.00 by the end of 2014. If passed by the voters, with the cooperation of the Court and law enforcement, which I anticipate, I will develop and implement a Drug Court program in Ralls County. Drug Court programs are time and labor intensive, requiring repeated and frequent case reviews and Court appearances. Offenders in the program are not incarcerated and, if successfully completed, are released on probation. Thirty percent of our felony and misdemeanor cases are exclusively drug and/or alcohol related. Thus, I believe that the County could realize a substantial decrease in the money it pays to other counties for our inmate board bill. I am also open to developing other programs with the input and cooperation of the Court and law enforcement that would help to reduce our board bill.

Finally, full-time means full-time. By law, a full time prosecutor cannot be affiliated with any other lawyer or law firm nor engage in the private practice of law nor represent any individual, entity, or political subdivision in any legal matter. A full-time prosecutor can only exercise the duties of prosecuting attorney for the county.

Again, I encourage you to mark the “Yes” box on your August 5 ballot next to the question of “Shall the office of the prosecuting attorney be made a full-time position in Ralls County?

COMMUNITY NEWS

Brett Peters Attends Boys State Brett Peters represented Mark Twain High School at Missouri Boys State held from June 14 to June 21 at UCM in Warrensburg. Over 950 boys from all over the state took part in the summer leadership and citizenship program. The purpose of MBS was “To draw together the best and brightest high school juniors each year in an effort to lead them down the path of individual success and leadership through doing, not just learning.”

The boys were part of a mock government and civic community and were challenged to learn how to operate cities, counties and their state effectively. Brett was a citizen of Carnahan, one of 16 cities in the Missouri Boys State. The residents in Carnahan elected a city council and a mayor. Residents of the state elected representatives, a governor and members of the judicial branch of government. There was a chief of police and three officers, a county sheriff and two deputies from each of the two cities that made up

a county. Some boys developed small businesses.

Brett was elected his city’s athletic director. Carnahan’s council levied taxes to build a park and contribute to the beautification of the city. “We had to take one boy to court for refusing to pay his taxes,” said Brett. “It ended up costing him $300.”

Some of the operations and procedures Brett participated in included learning to write ordinances, parliamentary procedure and working with others to create a workable solution to problems. “I learned that it’s important to be involved in city government because if you’re not, you have no input.” He continued, “Those that sat back had no say because they weren’t there [at meetings].”

During the campaigns for senator, representative and governor, Brett learned the importance of debating and speaking well before a group of people. “It was like real life, there were two parties, Nationalist and Federalist, a primary, debates

Perry Chamber Meets The monthly meeting of the Perry area chamber of commerce was held July 8 at 5 p.m.

New welcome signs for Perry have been approved. The Chamber of Commerce will sponsor a farmer’s market to be

held in front of the police station beginning Saturday and for the next five Saturdays from eight to noon. For more information contact Danette at Perry City Hall at 573565-3131.

CITY OF PERRY NOTICE OF TAX CERTIFICATION SALE I, Danette Henderson, within and for the City of Perry, Missouri hereby give notice, as provided in Section 140.170 RSMo 1986, that I shall offer for sale the hereinafter described lots and land, or so much thereof as may be necessary to discharge the taxes, interest and charges which may be thereon to the State of Missouri for delinquent taxes on real estate at the Courthouse door in Ralls County on the fourth Monday, the 25th of August, 2014, commencing at 10 a.m. of said day thereafter until all are offered.

Such lots and land situated in Ralls County, Missouri, and described in forty-acre tracts or other legal subdivisions and the lots described by number, block, addition, etc., and the aggregate amount of taxes, penalty, interest and costs, each years separately stated are as follows: Emily Hawkins Trustee, 702 Clark Parcel No. 14-08-34-01-04-03: Lots 20, 21, 32, 33 Smiths Lakeview* 1st offering 2011 taxes with penalty $117.88 2012 taxes with penalty $111.17 2013 taxes with penalty $133.67 Total $362.72 NHOC Partner Parcel No. 14-08-27-04-05-30.01: .97 AC in SEC 27-54-7* 1st offering 2011 taxes with penalty $8.29 2012 taxes with penalty $7.81 2013 taxes with penalty $10.29 Total $26.39

and speeches.”

One boy decided to run on an independent ticket and circulated a petition.

“He was a very persuasive speaker and he won by 16 votes,” said Brett.

“I learned it’s important to vote, you need to elect people with the same beliefs and values.”

The boys also heard from speakers with question and answer sessions in the evening. Among those who spoke to them were David Axelrod, Kansas City Mayor Sly James, Governor Jay Nixon and speakers from the US Marine Corps and Navy Seals. Leadership was the theme of most speeches, especially how to become an effective leader in your community. The boys were encouraged to become involved in community affairs, to become leaders in their schools’ organizations and sports programs.

Nixon said, “The individual [MBS participant] is the one with the power to change the world.

Whether athlete or politician, journalist or scientist, each and every one of

us has the power to make a difference in the world.”

Boys State’s motto was “A week to change a lifetime.” It was apparent after talking with Brett that he and the other young men who attended took that message to heart. Already involved and showing leadership qualities, Brett intends to do more and to put into practice the lessons he learned at Boys State.

Brett was sponsored by John Briscoe of Brsicoe, Rodenbaugh and Brannon in New London. Briscoe has sponsored candidates for several years and feels the experience is one that is unequaled in a young person’s education.

Briscoe attended MBS in 1958 and two of his sons attended when they were in high school.

Brett is the son of Dan and Julie Peters of New London and will be a senior at Mark Twain High School next year. He is active in sports, Student Council, National Honor Society and Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

CHURCH NEWS South Fork Prestyterian Services Sunday, July 13 began with Patti Grimmett playing “Blessed Assurance” on the piano followed by Debbie Carey leading in song to “Praise Him! Praise Him!”, “Wonderful Words of Life”.

“Doxology”, “Standing On the Promises” and “God Be With You”.

Pastor John Grimmett led the Responsive Reading from Psalm 119 with prayer for Max Tilt; Bryan Carey; Gordon Kent; Phil Gilmore; family of JD Whelan; and praise for the Carey family reunion with all saying the Lord’s Prayer.

Pastor John and Patti played guitar as they sang “Thy Word”.

The message “Inch By Inch, Row By Row” was based on scripture from Matthew 13.l... just as a gardener is blessed by God for the process to get the results...If you find something you like to do... then do it well. You will be happy and successful.

“Like the sower, how you

sow your seeds of God’s grace! Ministry is for God...as a disciple of good news - sowing seeds as a farmer - also sow seeds for God! Jesus explains the parable of the farmer Who is the sower? Maybe it is Jesus? Or the one who is the disciple, YOU? Sowing the truth of God’s love!

This world needs you and me - scatter the seeds... some may fall in the thorn bushes or the gravel, but there will be some that falls on those in need....

Saved by grace through faith!

Debbie led the Offertory as Patti played “Break Thou the Bread of Life”.

All retired in fellowship as Patti played “Thy Word Have I Hid in My Heart”, with services held every Sunday at 9 a.m. where all are welcome to come hear the word of the Lord.

“And He spoke many things unto them in parables, saying, “Behold, a sower went forth to sow:” Matthew 13:3

NL First Christian The choir sang “This is the Day” to begin the worship service on July 13. Pastor Tom thanked Marilyn Lucas and all those who helped with the worship service on July 6 and announced that he will be a volunteer chaplain on July 17 at HRH. He then led the responsive call to worship, followed by the hymn of praise “I Love To Tell the Story” and the invocation and Lord’s Prayer.

“Are Ye Able, Said the Master” was chosen as the worship hymn for the service today. Our prayer concerns today include Harry and Ruthie Musgrove, Bud and Fern Arnold, Bob Whitley, Stacey Flowerree, Louise Wilson, Dick Whitley, Diane Glascock, Baby Nora, the family of Steven Caskey, our military personnel and those who were unable to worship with us today. The pastoral prayer followed.

Pastor Tom gave the meditation and words of institution followed by the communion hymn

Pastor John Grimmett

Pastor Tom Day

“Amazing Grace.” The elder’s prayer was offered up by Tom Flowerree. Other’s serving at the Lord’s table were Carrie Talley, Pat Gibbs, Bryan Day and Eunice Whitaker. Distribution of emblems was followed by the offertory sentence and the receiving of the tithes and offerings. The prayer of dedication was then offered by Pastor Tom. Scripture chosen by Pastor Tom today was from John 14: 1-6 and his message was “Truth, Justice and Jesus’ Way.” Jesus gave his life for us. He said “I am the way, the truth, and the life!” Jesus and only Jesus has the power to save and without him, we cannot go to the Father.

The hymn of invitation was “Have Thine Own Way” and followed by the benediction. A warm welcome is extended to all our friends and neighbors. Our service is held at11 a.m. each Sunday morning.

New Oakland Baptist Welcome to all. Announcements for the week include: this Tuesday 1 p.m. ladies WOM meeting; don’t forget “WEDNESDAY IS WEAR A CROSS DAY.” Special music was “Amazing Grace” by Trudi Springman and Louis Clark followed by “The Old Rugged Cross” sung by all.

The congregation enjoyed a morning of choosing songs they wanted to hear.

Everyone has a song that brings back memories. It was a great time of worship. Prayer requests were lifted up to our Lord. Oh, what a wonderful blessing and gift, to be able to lift up our and others’ needs to our Lord, knowing He hears. Pastor’s Message for this morning was from Luke 21:29-33, “The Parable of the Fig Tree.”

After reading and studying this text. The main thought (or lesson) for each of us is that borrowed time is not permanent.

God’s patience has a limit.

In the parable, the vineyard owner grants another year of life to the tree. In the same way, God in His mercy grants us another day, another hour, another breath. Christ stands at the door of each man’s heart

Pastor Grubb

knocking and seeking to be asked in. This does require repentance (being truly sorry for) our sin and the desire for forgiveness.

If there is no repentance or fruit, His patience WILL come to an end. Then the fruitless, unrepentant individual will be cut down.

Please remember we live on borrowed time, judgment is near for all of us.

Could be today, any moment. The prophet Isaiah wrote, “Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts, Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon” (Isaiah 55:6-7).

Now with the craziness of our world take a moment to say to yourself, what if tomorrow is the last day for me, or maybe for A member of my family.

Show them the way.

You are very welcome to join our service on Sunday morning at 11 a.m. for morning worship and our Sunday school classes start at 10:45 a.m. We are located off Route J behind the Landing on Oakland Rd. Monroe City. Please come and join us.

NL Second Christian Christ’s arms of protection are available every day. Sunday, July 13, worship service opened with prayer and congregational hymns. Sister Thelma Fugate welcomed everyone and read announcements. Elder Paula J. Holliday offered our call to worship, our affirmation of faith was recited and Sister Marilyn Powell led responsive reading Psalm 8.

Hymn of thanks “Thank You, Lord” was followed scripture, youth sharing and message. Sister Linda K. Burton read Romans 8:1-11; Camron read Psalm 116:1-2; Re’Nayjah read Matthew 1:1-3; Amiion read Matthew 1:4-5 and Elisa read 1 Corinthians 13:45. Rev. Vaughn’s youth message, “We Should Visit God Everyday!”

The scripture text was from Daniel 6:10, Daniel made no attempt to hide his daily prayer routine from his enemies in government, even though he knew he would be disobeying the new law.

Daniel continued to pray because he could not look to the king for the guidance and strength that he needed during this difficult time. Only God could provide what he really needed. The youth were asked the password, “Thank You,” recited the Ten Commandments and the Lord’s Prayer. To con-

Rev. M. Faye Vaughn

clude the youth sang, “Jesus Loves Me, making a joyful noise unto the Lord”.

The choir rendered three musical selections “We Are Solder’s”, “I Believe I Can Fly” and “There Is No Greater Love”, soloists were Sister Talya Mayfield and Sister Paula Stevenson.

Giving and receiving the Lord’s tithes and offering scripture text was from Leviticus 27:30 the hymn, “Woke Up This Morning”, Elder Holliday offered the prayer and the doxology was sung. Joys/ concerns were heard and Rev. Vaughn offered pastoral prayer.

The morning message, scripture text was from Romans 8:26-39, the message “A Message For All Season’s.” As a believer you are not left to your own resources to cope with problems. Even when you don’t know. the right words to pray, the Holy Spirit prays with and for you, and God answers. With God helping you pray, you don’t need to be afraid to come before him. The message was followed by hymn of invitation, communion hymn, closing hymn “God Has Smiled On Me” and the benediction.

HOPE, is the confidence that what God has done for us in the past guarantees our participation in what God will do in the future. The world’s definition of hope, “as a feeling that what is wanted will happen.”

and Wyatt Lewellen.

Arlen provided the special music by singing “The Lord’s Prayer. Cheri accompanied him.

Jeannie Gay supplied the Children’s Moment by telling the ‘parable of the sowers’. Listening and learning about God is necessary for Christian growth like good soil is for plants to grow.

The parable in Matthew 13:1-9 was read by John DiMaria.

John Schutte began his message by giving background on the missions he has done. Last summer he was in Thailand and he has just recently returned from the small country of Kyrgyzstan. He is now on his way to a mission at the University of Los Angeles in California. Thailand is mostly Budda while Kyrgzstan is Muslim. His message for both religions and including Christianity is “forgiveness”. We are certain that John will be making a difference with this message and send him with our prayers.

The invitation hymn was “When We All Get to Heaven”. Nancy offered the benediction and the service closed by singing “Lord, Dismiss Us With Your Blessing”

Choosing native plants allows developed landscapes to coexist with nature, rather than compete with it.

Increasingly, gardeners in Missouri and elsewhere in the Lower Midwest are choosing native plants. The benefits of native landscaping are fueling a gardening movement that says “no” to pesticides and fertilizers and “yes” to biodiversity and creating more sustainable landscapes. Novice and professional gardeners are turning to native landscaping to manage storm water, reduce maintenance, and promote plant and wildlife conservation.

Native Plants can be used for: Stormwater Management; For Less Maintenance; To Create Wildlife Habitat; For Resistance to Deer Browse; For Educational Opportunities; Fora Sense of Place; and for Beautification.

Look for complete details of all these items for the use of Native Plants in next week’s Ralls County Herald Enterprise.
