September 16 Edition

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 KJV

Birthdays this week include: Linda Knight and Bro. Tony Atkins - Sept. 20.

New Edinburg buried two excellent women last Saturday: Joyce Briant and Emilie Jones. Keep both families in your prayers. Also remember Bobby Avery as he recovers from cancer surgery. Bobby's problem was found, not after waiting in a doctor's office, but through a free clinic. Take advantage of them; it could save your life.

Did you enjoy the cold snap? Every weather prediction source is calling for an early Fall and a really bad Winter.

Bow season for deer opens soon. Beware deer with bows, and please be safe in the woods.

West Saline Community Center added two new board members: Tyrone Cranford and Christi Russell. The Center is already getting ready for its 3rd annual Spook House in late October. From the plans I've received, it looks to be bigger and better than the last two years and will include children's games for the ones too little to be spooked, and a haunted trail. I'll keep you apprised as to more details as the day approaches.

A blast from the past from the Arkansas Baptist Newspaper, 17 Feb 1897, page 15, col 1 : "Dr. E.H. Moses, of New Edinburg died February 5, 1897. Dr. Moses was born in Georgia, March 10, 1827; educated in the medical school of Philadelphia; married in the spring of 1849. He was a charter member of this church, and for more than forty-six years has walked circumspectly in this community. He was baptized at the age of 20. His funeral was attended by a host of loved ones, who grieve at his departure. This dear brother has been in sympathy with all our church work. The community has lost a good citizen, the church a true light, and the wife a loving husband.
We mourn not as those who have no hope. God has taken his loyal child home. We shall meet him by and by. May God be with his dear companion, comfort and keep her until that blessed day."
