MRHC adds Merry Market to Winter Wonderland BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
Winter Wonderland is back and better than ever. The annual Magnolia Regional Health Center fundraiser event returns to the Crossroads Arena on Saturday and, new this year, will also include a preview day on Friday. “Winter Wonderland offers our communities holiday cheer and fun in appreciation for choosing us for their healthcare needs,” said organizer Tracy Moore. “The annual event hosts a variety of activities, like complementary pictures with Santa, a ride on the Magnolia Express Train and snacks and goodies for everyone.” Moore said she’s most excited about the newest addition
to the event – the Merry Merchants Market. “The market will feature local vendors ready for holiday shoppers,” she said. “As always, there will also be a silent auction of our holiday decorations, trees and wreathes.” The weekend kicks off on Friday from 4 until 8 p.m. on the north side (back) of the arena with the Merry Market preshopping event and silent auc-
tion preview. Admission on Friday is $5. “For those who just can’t wait or want to avoid the large crowd, the Friday night event will offer holiday shoppers the opportunity to shop without the hustle and bustle of the full Winter Wonderland event on Saturday” said Moore. The MRHC Carolers will provide holiday entertainment, as well. The fun gets started on Saturday from 8 to 9 a.m. with a special needs and sensory friendly hour of dimmer lights and lower volume. Santa will be available for complementary photos. Snacks, goodies, toys and games will be available and the Merry Market will be open for business.
Charter schools to expand Associated Press
JACKSON — Two Mississippi charter schools have gotten approval Monday to expand enrollments, despite concerns over low test scores in one school’s first year of operation. The Charter School Authorizer Board approved plans for RePub-
lic Schools to expand its two middle schools in Jackson to 600 students apiece. Serving grades 5-8, ReImagine Prep is currently capped at 440 students overall and Smilow Prep is capped at 476 students. Outgoing CEO Ravi Gupta told the board that the schools are getting
more applications than there are currently slots, especially at the sixth grade level, where he said there’s a 51-student waiting list at ReImagine Prep in south Jackson. “We have really high demand starting in the sixth grade,” he said. ReImagine Prep is in its second year, while Smilow Prep opened in August. Results discussed Monday by the board showed that while ReImagine Prep outperformed students in the Jackson public school district in math, its test results were lower in English language arts. That led to questions from the board about whether RePublic should get to serve more students. “Do you think that expanding enrollment at this time will impact further on not getting the test scores up?” asked board member Karen Elam of Oxford.

ery age from writing a letter to Santa to holiday shopping,” said Moore. Concessions will be available for purchase on the top concourse and complementary snacks and goodies will be available on the arena floor. Commemorative t-shirts will also be available for purchase.

(Vendor space is still available for the Merry Market. For more information on the market or for other Winter Wonderland questions, contact Moore at tmoore@mrhc.org or 662-293-7664.)

God has always given adequate instruction to His people. The Hebrew writer stated that God “Spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son...” (Heb. 1:1-2). Adam and Eve were given thorough instruction as to the single prohibition of not eating the fruit of the tree in the center of the garden of Eden. Noah was given sufficient details as to the construction of the ark, to the saving of his family from the impending flood. Moses, Abraham, and many others serve as lessons whereby we may learn (Rom. 15:4). Then as we view briefly various events and individuals that we find contained in the testament, we notice even further how God has loved and instructed His people. Saul of Tarsus simply asked, “What wilt thou have me to do?” The Lord answered with instruction. Remember the chosen twelve and the many ways our Savior taught to enable them to fulfill the needed work. We pilgrims and sojourners in the twentieth century are likewise given “instruction in righteousness” (II Tim. 3:16-17). God has provided His perfect will (James 1:25) for all who will hear (Rev. 2:7, 11) and obey (Matt 7:21; Heb. 5:8-9). Righteousness: one of many qualities of our Father in heaven; just; holy; uprightness and justice in our dealings with man and in the sight of God; acts of piety coming for a sincere desire for God’s honor and the good of His people; holliness of life and conversation. God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit have provided for our instruction. John 14:26 clearly declare the word of Jesus before He departed from this earth: But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
In John 16 Jesus said, “I tell you the truth,” “I will send him (the Comforter) unto you,” “he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness,” “he will guide you in all truth” (John 16:7, 8, 13). Jude 3 states the gospel (truth) “was once delivered unto the saints.” Jehovah God hath “given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness’ (II Pet. 1:3). We are instructed to “Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth” (John 17:17). It is the instruction of God that we can “know” and that which “shall make you free” (John 8:32). If we are traveling to an unfamiliar area, and we ask for instruction to enable us to arrive at our desired destination, how utterly foolish we would be if we did not follow that instruction. Likewise, we are so foolish and unwise if we fail to follow the will of the Father (Matt 7:21). Jesus asked a question, in Luke 6:46. “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thnaked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

Warehouse fire death toll climbs Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — The death toll in the Oakland warehouse fire climbed to 36 Monday with more bodies still feared buried in the blackened ruins, and families anxiously awaited word of their missing loved ones. The laborious job of digging with shovels and buckets was suspended overnight because of a dangerously unstable wall but resumed midmorning. Officials said 70 percent of the building had been searched. Flames tore through the building, known as the “Ghost Ship,” during a dance party Friday night. The cluttered warehouse had been converted to artists’ studios and illegal living spaces, and former denizens said it was a death trap of piled wood, furniture, snaking electrical cords and only two exits. It was the most lethal building fire in the U.S. in more than a decade. Authorities have identified at least 11 of the bodies but withheld some of the names. Those whose identities were yet to be released included a 17-year-old and the son of a sheriff’s deputy, authorities said.
