April 2 Edition

^"5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.⁶ And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.⁷ He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."  Revelation 21: 5-7

Macedonia Free Will Baptist Church started their Easter service at 10:30 this Sunday. They were fortunate to have several special songs. Brother Billy Wilson preached a wonderful service. "The message of Easter is that Jesus has risen!" (Colin Smith). "The entire plan for the future has its key in the resurrection". (Billy Graham).
New Edinburg First Baptist Church held Easter Sunrise services at 7am that day.  Brother Tony Atkins preached the promise of all things being made new through the resurrection of Christ in Revelation 21:5.  Afterwards, we enjoyed breakfast and fellowship.
The Encyclopedia of Arkansas lists three famous residents from our area: "Elisha Lawley McMurtrey was a lieutenant colonel in the Confederate army during the Civil War. He was involved in twenty-two battles and was elected to the Arkansas General Assembly in 1878. Kermit C. Moss served in World War II and received two bronze stars; he was also one of the guards for Madame Chiang Kai-shek. Paul “Bear” Bryant, the legendary University of Alabama football coach, was born and raised a few miles from New Edinburg."
