Reflections

…Tabitha Parker, Emily Cox and Hanson Cox
    participated in the mystery dinner Saturday
    and were completely into the characters they played.
    They handled themselves very well under
    questioning from each table of “investigators.
…We welcome Joseph Sievers who came forward
    to place his membership with FCC Sunday.
    He is the only person to appear on the church
    website in a picture with this pastor, both of
    us wearing clown noses.
…A generous person recently gave the youth
    program $500 to be used however we need
    it to benefit the children and youth we serve.
…Marianne Gebhardt transferred her membership
    to FCC. Later that day she entered the hospital
    and now is the proud owner of a couple of
    new stints. Marianne was a nursing instructor
    in Huntington, West Virginia. She grows orchids
    and has a dog named Louie.
…Thanks to Jeff Miller, Bob Parker and their crew
    for providing a tasty dinner and after dinner fun
   with the mystery of the cut roses.
…Thanks again to Praise on High which sang on
    youth Sunday. Fantastic! They are Myra Miller,
    Eric Horine, Bob Parker, Betsy Whitt and Travis Cook.
…Our youth, led by Rev. Tracy Parker, did a
    wonderful job leading us in worship on Mother’s
    Day. How touching when all the nursery kids
    were brought in at the end.
…Eric Horine recently received a promotion at
    Kentucky Utilities.
…Jeff Miller has convened a group of men to
    work through the study titled Courageous.
    About 12 men have committed to the study
    which challenges us to be better fathers. Those
    participating are, Chad Fuller, Jeff Bell, Jeff
    Miller, George Kissick, Travis Cook, Warren
    Hickman, Greg Smart, Mark Underwood,
    Mac McCracken, Jim Lovell, Joseph Sievers
    and Eric Horine.
…Thanks to Ashleigh Lowe who challenged
   adults in this congregation to choose
   a child to mentor. I have selected mine.
   Have you selected yours? See Ashleigh
   or Tracy or me to sign up. (All mentors
   must have been a member here for at
   least a year and pass a background
   check).
…Did you know Betsy Whitt, Cathy Vance
   and Linda Clinkenbeard just retired from
   The Paris and Bourbon County School
   Systems?
…Don Spillman will be moving soon and
   eventually will be living in Mobile, Ala.,
   with his daughter.

Moving to the deeper places,
Jeff
