"We love him, because he first loved us."1 John 4:19

Prayer list this week includes: Kristy Russell.  Patricia Huddleston is home and doing well after a stay in the Bradley County Hospital with Pneumonia.

Birthdays this week include: Becky Briant - July 8, Wanda Sanders - July 12, Russell Sanders - July 12, Chloe Sanders - July 14.

Finally a break in the hot weather.  The long drought and 100F+ temperatures ended this week with a few showers and cooler temperatures.  It's nice to go outside and not feel as if you just stepped into an oven.

Macedonia Church's Revival will be July 22 - 25 with Rev. Lonny Burks. Their Vacation Bible School will be July 19th & 20th. Details will be announced later.
West Saline Community Center news: the Jackson Family reunion was last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons at WSCC with about 75 attending from across the US.  The pork was present is great quantities.  The Wagnon Family reunion was Sunday with about 25 attending.  The 2012 NEHS All School Reunion was last Saturday.  Attendance for that was down this year, probably due to the oppressive heat, with about 75 students and faculty there.  Despite this, we had a great time with door prizes and food galore.  Make plans to attend next year if you missed out this time.
Patronage of the New Edinburg Museum that Saturday was excellent; people like what's going on down there.  NEHS graduate Virginia (Brown) Carter donated her 1970 FFA Sweetheart jacket to the museum (see accompanying picture elsewhere in this edition).  Thanks goes to Virginia for this beautiful and priceless relic.  As I open up the museum on and off again this year, I'll be sure to give a heads up in the paper.
If you have items of interest for this column, please get them to me by Monday for inclusion in that week's column.  Go Eagles.
