April 13 Edition

^"11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. ¹² The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light." -- Romans 8:11-12

Birthdays this week include: Sheila Currier - April 13, Blake Spears and Bobbie Moseley - April 14, Johnnie Green & Ella Green April 15.

Bro. Tony Atkins of New Edinburg First Baptist Church is undergoing problems with lung cancer. It's confined to one lymph node, and surgery may be done soon. Please keep him in your prayers.

Also keep in your heart the family of the late Sue Carolyn Wheeler Smith, NEHS Class of '51 and the sister-in-law of Bobbie Moseley.

Last week's house fire at the home of Sylvester and Rae Nell Wright really got out of hand with a return visit that night from the Fire Department followed by a third visit the following morning as a car parked behind the remains of the house caught fire. So, between the trailer fire on Farm to Market Rd and this fire, the department was in action off and on for about 40 hours.

A benefit was held at the West Saline Community Center to help the family of the late Eric Abeyta of Kingsland. Good BBQ plates and live entertainment was on hand with an attendance of about 150 and about $1400 raised for the family.

There will be another benefit given there at our old school with the aim of raising funds to repair the gymnasium floor so that an indoor place for children to have games can be provided. A local contractor has stated he and his crew can easily make the repairs. The event will start at 5:30pm on Saturday, April 18. Admission is $5.00 and the live entertainment will Warren local "Big Chuk."
