I would like to encourage everyone to do something good for someone and see how rewarding it can be for you. With this said, we need people to help keep the “Blessing Box” at the Montezuma Community Center supplied. We are currently needing some paper goods, canned foods and any other nonperishables that you can think of for the box. It seems to empty quickly at the end of each week. Thanking all of you in advance for any and all help. There are many people in need in today’s economy.
Montezuma sends out Happy Birthday wishes to William Atkin on Oct. 2, Betty M. Cooper and Eloise Parker on Oct. 5, Laela Brown on Oct. 6, Oakley Quarles on Oct. 7 and Annie Stewart on Oct. 9. Montezuma sends out Happy Anniversary wishes to Rick and Erin Fontana on Oct. 6.
We encourage people to come and hear what is going on within our county. Our local governmental meetings need more community support. If you care about Chester County, please pay attention to what is taking place in our county, come out to budget meetings and commission meetings and show your interest or concerns. Everyone should be mindful of what is going on in our county and care enough to help make a difference.
We appreciate all our members at the center and would love more of our community to get involved. With more help, we could plan more events for our community. Membership dues are $25 after your first initial year of joining, and they can be paid to Edith Sills. We also take donations. Payments can be mailed to Edith Sills at 4475 Sunshine Rd, Henderson, TN 38340. Call Ann Moore 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 be in prayer for our local and federal government, law enforcement, school staff, teachers and the listed individuals of Lila Jester, Terry Hearn, Jimmy Record, Pam Priddy, Norma Morrison, Reba Croom, Taze Lofton, Peggy Lard, Jason Gray, Dustin Ross, Randy Cooper, Marcia Moore, Judy Bernard, Donna Doyle, Mike Lott, Cindy Kilzer, Janice Schultz, Mark Hall, Ruby Hannah, Donnie Brooks, Mike Tedford, Sandra Lott, Faye Crouse, Janice Morris, Jeanette Walker, Paul Schilling and others that are sick or healing. Please be in prayer for the families of Tom Weeks, Greg Greenway, Curtis Morrison, Kenneth Elder and other families that have recently lost loved ones.
As always, I am wishing everyone a blessed week. Please call (608-2857) or email me (gaylescox1977@gmail.com) if you have anything to be added to our weekly article.
