with Gayle Cox
Well, another year has now come and gone, and Chester County lost many good people over the last year. Stop and reflect on the past year and see what changes you may have in mind to make 2023 a better year for you, your family and our community.
The Community Center Meeting for Jan. 10 has been canceled, and we will be meeting now at 6 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 6. We will be discussing events to add to our 2023 year calendar and start some planning as well as needs for the center. We are providing a soup/sandwich meal for this meeting. We need more community involvement for our center and would like to invite people to join in. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend. We would like to get 2023 off to a great start. Annual renewal dues are $25 after your first initial year of joining. 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 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.
Please be in prayer for all elected local and federal officials as decisions are made, law enforcement, first responders, healthcare workers, teachers and administrators. With all the upside down happenings in our world around us, pray daily. 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 those suffering from the flu, COVID and other seasonal illnesses and for Joann Fowler, Samantha Stark, Cathy Meek, Janice Morris, Dot Smith, Elecia Ellis, Lisa Bishop, Bro. Iran Smith, Kathy Emerson, Jeanette Walker, Paul Schilling, Jennifer Paton, Nancy Crouse, Martha Cooper, Jake Richardson, Ann Morrison, Faye Crouse, and others that are sick or healing. We especially want to remember the families of Bobby Harvey, Leonard Welch, Vicki Williams Phillips, Mr. Ed Morris and other families that have recently lost loved ones. Mr. Ed Morris was a faithful servant to our community until he became the caregiver for his wife, Ms. Betty. She passed away just over a year ago, and now he is gone from the Montezuma Community. Mr. Ed did lots of maintenance on our center from time to time over the years and just gave of his time and materials for necessary repairs. He will be well missed by our community. He was a loving husband and father to Jeff, Joe and Carol. So sorry for your loss.
