It was awesome to have a rain free weekend with nice temperatures. Just praying we will have more of those days as we continue into spring. Hope that all of you on Spring Break are enjoying your time off, and now Easter is just around the corner.
We are currently doing some upgrades to the center. You may notice brighter lighting and repaired windows, and our bathrooms have a new look. 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. We are looking for community members who have skills to help with things at our center, big or small. At times, we just need a good clean up, painting, plumbing, electrical, etc.
Mark your calendars now for Saturday, May 6. We will soon be announcing what the center will be doing on that day. It will be fun! 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. 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.
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. Every voice can count when you need to be heard. 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.
Montezuma sends out happy birthday wishes to Carrie Jester on April 2, Peggy Weaver on April 3, Brook Emerson and Missy Clayton on April 4 and Jo Ellis on April 6.
Please be in prayer for all local and federal elected officials, law enforcement, first responders, healthcare workers, teachers, administrators and churches as decisions are made, and 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 seasonal illnesses and Charlie Harris, Misty Paul, Clint Murley, Janeane Moore, Ann Lowe in recovery, Sherry Fletcher, Chuck Beacham, Sandra Lott, Johnny Warren Garner, Faye Crouse, Kenneth Burkhead, Joann Fowler, Janice Morris, Lisa Bishop, Jeanette Walker, Paul Schilling, Jennifer Paton, Nancy Crouse, Martha Cooper, Jake Richardson, Ann Morrison and others that are sick or healing. We especially want to remember the families Paul Watson, Brenda Slaughter and other families that have recently lost loved ones.
