Rob and Kathy Hutcherson will begin their ministry at Crab Orchard Christian Church this Sunday, Feb. 3. The Hutchersons come to Crab Orchard from Frankfort, where they were longtime members of Choateville Christian Church. They were involved with several ministries from youth to outreach, but most recently Rob had been the Director of Worship and Kathy the team leader for Choateville's women's and drama ministries. They are very excited to be a part of the Crab Orchard community.

Greetings from South Fork Baptist Church. First of all, let me extend to you a very Happy Thanksgiving. By the time you read this you probably have already enjoyed an abundance of turkey, dressing, and the trimmings. On Sunday I challenged our people to remember all the things that God has done for us. God is so good! As the song says, "What a mighty God we serve!" David, the Psalmist reminds us time and time again in the Book of Psalms that we need to remember the way God has worked in our lives, and that we need to be more mindful to give Him praise!

Dear Editor, It seems such a shame that a person cannot put their own opinion in our daily paper without people trying to tell her how "wrong" her ideas are. Is this what is meant by "free speech?" First of all, I do know my Ten Commandments - not just the first three. As a matter of fact, we recited them in our classroom back when I was in school. Of course that was back in the day when we, as children, were never taught NOT to believe in God. Secondly, I was a school teacher myself for several years, and yes, the Darwin Theory was discussed in the older grades.

Dear Editor: Evidence of the approach of Christmas is everywhere I look. In fact, in some areas it started even before Thanksgiving. Christmas has long been my favorite holiday: No, not because of the presents, although I was always fond of receiving them, but because of the one whose birth we celebrate at this time of year. Now, however, although the birth of Jesus is what Christmas is supposed to be all about, we are no longer allowed to celebrate that in public, and in our schools.
