Montezuma Community Center will host a Christmas party at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 8. We are asking everyone to bring finger foods. Please let Ann Moore know what you plan to bring by phone or text at 731-608-2033. We will also play bingo, and each person who participates needs to bring a gift for your gender that costs between $5 and $10. Hope to see many of you there.
The Advent season has started. Do you know Christ? All true wisdom comes from God. Most places are getting decorations and lights in place, but these are just symbols that we have learned in life. Make yourself aware of the true meaning of Christmas.
Please check on any elderly people that live alone to make sure they have their needs met for some warm food and heat. See that your outdoor pets have fresh water daily and a warm place to sleep as well.
Montezuma sends out happy birthday wishes to Patience Cook on Dec. 7, Zachary Thomas on Dec. 9, Beverly Morton on Dec. 10, Tina Ross and Garrett Denbow on Dec. 11, Gail Marsh, Randy Burkhead and Donald Smith on Dec. 12 and Linda Jones on Dec. 14. Montezuma sends out happy anniversary wishes to John and Ann Moore on Dec. 9 and Justin and Dusti Moody on Dec. 13.
We need more community involvement for our center and would like to invite people to join in. Annual renewal dues are $25 after your first initial year of joining. Membership dues need to be paid now to be considered an active member. We also take donations. Payments can be mailed to Edith Sills at 4475 Sunshine Rd, Henderson, TN 38340. We appreciate all our members and would like to have more events if we can get enough help to do so. Call Ann Moore at 608-2033 or myself if you have any new ideas for the center or wish to get involved. People who want to rent the community center should contact Betty Cooper at 879-9078 for booking. We ask those renting our facility to please follow our rules and show respect for the building. We try to keep it in the best order possible, and it takes everyone cooperating to make that happen. If you care about this community, please get involved in what is taking place to continue to grow our county and make it a better place to live and raise a family. Get to know what is changing in our local government, schools, churches and communities through the news, friends, your church, teachers, etc., and if it matters to you, there are ways to help make things better.
There is much spiritual warfare with society accepting things that go against who God is and what HIS laws are that we are to follow. Every day of life has its challenges, but if we look to God for the right path, it can be a good one. Please pray for the McNairy fire victims, Renee Jordan, Wesley Whitman, Imogene Naylor, Betty Cooper, Betty Sexton, Ruby Hannah, Mike Frank, Vicki Dickson, Donnie Brooks, Linda Plunk, Wayne and Lynn Frye, Lee Trice, Jerry Pruitt, Patricia Ledford, Mike Tedford, Clint Murley, Sherry Fletcher, Chuck Beacham, Sandra Lott, Faye Crouse, Janice Morris, Lisa Bishop, Jeanette Walker, Paul Schilling, Nancy Crouse and others that are sick or healing. We especially want to remember the families of Max Reddin, Linda Patterson, Bob Colvig and other families that have recently lost loved ones.
