A barbecue fund-raiser will be held at the Potts Camp United Methodist Church on Saturday, June 23, beginning with singing at 10 a.m. and food served around noon. All proceeds will go toward repairs to the historic building. Note: Due to the length of time that it may take to make repairs or to build a new overhead bridge on Highway 178 West, we all need to contact our senators and representatives to see if there is some way it could be completed before the three-year time span that has been reported before it will be open for use. It sure is an inconvenience. Ben and Christopher Rowland participated in a three-day “Kids in the Kitchen” workshop at the Marshall County Extension Service, June 11-13.

Flag Day was June 14. Let’s say a prayer for our servicemen. They are fighting for our freedom and we should always remember them and their families In honor of all deceased fathers, a memorial poem. Father’s Day Poem You never said I’m leaving. You never said goodbye. You were gone before I knew it, And only God knew why. A million times I needed you, A million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life I loved you dearly. In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place, That no one could ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn’t go alone. For part of me went with you, The day God took you home. Waterford News Walton Chapel to host Love Day The characteristics of love. Though I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, I have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge: and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. I Cor. 13:1-7. Pastor Lyons delivered an inspiring Father’s Day message Sunday at Greenfield Church. The title was “love cares more for others than for self.” Other Scriptures used to support his message were Phil. 3:19, Prov. 29:18, Jer. 9:2, and I Tim. 5:23. Greenfield’s Sunday school is growing, and we were blessed to have an additional member this past Sunday with two visitors, who stayed through the worship services. The late Neddie Bowens Lemons was funeralized on Sunday, June 17. Services were held at J.F. Brittenum and Son Funeral Home. Our prayers are with the family in the loss of their loved one.
