Jail Ministry
We had the wonderful opportunity to distribute 250 gift
bags to the Franklin County Jail this year. These were
given to both the men and women there. Each bag had a
pair of socks, bar of soap, a honey bun, crackerjacks, and
an individual bag of chips.
It was such a pleasure to share Jesus and bring a little bit
of Christmas to these individuals. Thank you church for
your support!
Please pray for our Jail Ministry as we minister to them
each week. Our prayer is that they will see Jesus in us
and know there is Hope in Him.
Donations to the Jail Ministry may be given anytime
throughout the year. Just mark your check “Jail Ministry”.
The funds will be used to purchase Bibles and some
stationary supplies that we are permitted to give the
inmates.

MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik
Did you know... that New Year's may be all about looking ahead, but there's
something undeniably nostalgic about reflecting back? After all, the song "Auld
Lang Syne" roughly translates to "old long since," or "times gone by." Classic
New Year's Eve traditions may include: 1) Make New Year's
Resolutions; 2) ...and Actually Keep Them! 3) Decorate a New Year's
Tree; 4) Look Sharp- dress nicely for New Year's Eve celebrations; 5) Toss
Tinsel Everywhere; 6) Trace Your Heritage; 7) Eat New Year's Food -
traditional Southern food is black-eyed peas and collard greens (symbols for
wealth—coins and green folding money, respectively), ham or pork (for
prosperity), and cornbread (for gold); 8) Pray-New Year's Day church service,
"Watch Night" services, for Catholics, January 1st, or the Solemnity of Mary, is
a Holy Day of Obligation, or a New Year's Eve midnight Mass; 9) Toast with a
Traditional Drink (wassail punch, a special cider-like punch with English
origins); 10) Make Some Noise- noise horns, bells (a nod to church bells), and
fireworks (a Chinese New Year custom); 11) Give a Gift-chocolate coins, gilded
coins or nuts was an old Roman ritual, according to the The Old Farmer's
Almanac, but you could also give eggs for fertility, a Persian practice, the
Scottish apparently also traded shortbread, coal, and silverware, while
Egyptians' specialty was earthenware flasks; 12) Countdown and Kiss at
Midnight- people still do this, but the reasoning behind it bears repeating: "Kiss
the person you hope to keep kissing," as the saying goes; 13) "Auld Lang
Syne"-Join in on a joyous rendition of the traditional New Year's song, just like
in all the old movies; 14) Send Thank-You Notes-before ringing in the new
year, close out the current one expressing gratitude for those who've made an
impact in your last 12 months.
