COMMUNITY Dorcus Richardson Chapter of DAR Holds Meeting June 5

The Light Rider's chapter has members from several area counties, particularly from Trenton and Chillicothe where the meetings are held. The meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month. The meeting place varies, but always includes a meal around 6:00 p.m. with the meeting beginning at 7:00 p.m. Many meetings and "special events" include a motorcycle ride, but members do not need to be motorcyclists. And one does not need to become a member to come to meetings and join in on rides! To become a CMA patched (colored) member, individuals need to profess their faith in God and their belief in the risen Jesus, and go through a brief online training found on the International website. www.cmausa.org.

CMA is not a motorcycle club - it is a motorcycle ministry. All “Run for the Son” money raised goes 100 percent to Missions, of which 60 percent stays in the U.S. with 20 percent going to Missionary Ventures, 20 percent to the Jesus Film and 20 percent to Open Doors Ministry Partners. None of the RFS Money goes to day to day operations. The organization has grown to 125,000 members and over 1,200 chapters in all 50 states, and then gained chapters in 31 foreign countries through the CMA International ministry.

The CMA mission is to "change the world, one heart at a time." For more information, visit the website or contact chapter president Chris Sibbit at 660-247-2707.

The Dorcus Richardson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) held their monthly meeting on June 5 at the BTC meeting room. The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and the DAR Rituals. Marie Dolan presented the "Conservation Minute", Connie Key the "American Indian Minute" and Lanita Smith the "Women's Minute".

Regent Cindy Guthrie provided an update from the State Convention. The Chapter received the MO State Chapter Achievement Award Level I and Service for Veterans Award.

Prior to the meeting the Chapter members worked on one of their service projects which is making quilts for the Tiny House Homeless Veterans project.

The Daughters of the American Revolution is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, nonpolitical volunteer women’s service organization dedicated to preserv- ing American history, securing America’s future through better education and promoting patriotism. It was founded on October 11, 1890 and incorporated in 1896 by an Act of Congress.

“Wall of Timothys” is Program at Recent Ward Circle Meeting

Four members of the Ward Circle met on June 6, 2023, at Washington Street for a noon luncheon. Following the meal, President Talma Joiner led the group in the CWF Prayer to start the business meeting. Her thought for the day was, “A wise person allows others to go through the stress and learn from their mistakes.” The decision was made to give all the funds in the treasury to our two projects for the year, Ministerial Scholarships and Woodhaven Learning Center.

Janice Stimpson reported that she had sent sympathy cards to Novy and Mary Ellen Foland, Sonna and Bill Wiggins and Andy and Bobbi Daniels on recent deaths in their families. Mrs. Joiner reported that her son Rob Kincaid would be undergoing open heart surgery on June 20. Mrs. Stimpson’s name was submitted as a signature to be added to the CWF checking account. She was unanimously selected by the group. Marilyn Blakesly volunteered to be respon- sible for the flowers in the sanctuary in August.

Mrs. Joiner presented the lesson and devotion on First Christian Church’s wall of Timothys in the main hallway of the church. She focused on one of the first ministers, Hunter Beckelhymer. He was a good friend of Russell Joiner’s and had signed one of several books he authored to Russell. The book she used as a reference was “Pressing On”. Mr. Beckelhymer was born in 1919 in Trenton.

P.E.O. Chapter AD Meets June 1

P.E.O. Chapter AD met on Thursday, June 1 at The Space. Prior to the business meeting, hostess Jackie Hoffman treated members to delicious ice cream from The Creamery. Members brainstormed plans for the chapter’s 120th birthday celebration and discussed ideas for programs in the upcoming months.

The program, “Whose Bag is It?” was led by Marjorie Keuhn. Members brought

4-5 items in a brown bag and had to identify the bag’s owner when the contents were revealed. Once identified, the owner told why the items had significance in her life.

The next meeting of Chapter AD will be held on Thursday, July 6 at 1 pm at Hodge Presbyterian Church with Deanna McCarter, hostess and program leader.

Timothys are recognized throughout the area for their service to local churches. Some have been bi-vocational such as Bruce Clark and Kenneth Tipton. We recently lost Terry Foland who spent his life working for the Disciples church in many different areas. The picture wall is a source of pride to the congregation.

The next meeting will be September 5 following a summer break. Betty Wimer will have the devotion for that meeting.
