Looking forward to seeing you at our next Montezuma Big Country Breakfast and Bake Sale on Saturday, April 5, at the Community Center. We love to see people come out and enjoy food and fellowship together. Breakfast plates will be $8 and include biscuits, eggs, meat and drink. Any ladies in our community can contact me or Ann Moore to donate baked goods for the bake sale.
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. Our next commission meeting is set for 7 p.m. March 31.
Montezuma sends out Happy Birthday wishes to Linda Skinner on March 24 (my apologies for the wrong date previously), Joann Osborne on March 27, Seth Wade on March 28, Carrie Jester on April 2 and Peggy Weaver on April 3. Montezuma sends out Happy Anniversary wishes to Craig and Renee Murley on March 28.
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 are due for this current year. 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. 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. Enjoy what time you have with your creator, your family and friends. Please be in prayer for our local and federal government, law enforcement, school staff, teachers, Brazil Mission team from Old Friendship Baptist Church, Lynn Frye, Mark Latham, David Cox, Dobber Dyer, Brenda Hannah, Donna Doyle, Mike Lott, Cindy Kilzer, Quinten Johnson, Jerry Fletcher, Curtis Morrison, Renee Jordan, Ruby Hannah, Donnie Brooks, Linda Plunk, Mike Tedford, Sherry Fletcher, Chuck Beacham, Sandra Lott, Faye Crouse, Janice Morris, Jeanette Walker, Paul Schilling, Nancy Crouse and others that are sick or healing. We especially want to remember the families of Vickie McCormick, Bessie Grissom, Robert Reddin, Douglas Anthony Carter and other families that have recently lost loved ones.
