MILLSAP — The Newberry Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Millsap will be putting together at least four Thanksgiving baskets for families in need in the Millsap/Weatherford area.

If you, your office, Sunday school, school class or scouting organization can help in anyway, contact the Newberry Church at (817) 283-1916, or bring supplies to the church at 1301 Newberry Rd. Millsap (please call first so that someone can be there to meet and greet you). We are looking for:

4 hams

4 turkeys

8 cans of corn

8 cans of green beans

4 bags of potatoes

8 cans of yams

4 cans of cranberry sauce

4 pies (pumpkin or apple)

or 4 of any items that you would like to find on your Thanksgiving table.

In the past, we have been able to serve even more families because of the kindness of others in the community. Any amount of supplies will be of great help in filling the baskets.

The church must deliver the baskets on Sunday, Nov. 22.

If you are not able to help in November, the Church will be attempting to deliver four Christmas baskets in December.

God Bless and thank you in advance — Newberry CPC.

‘The Help’
William Barclay tells the story of a servant who was sent to meet a train on which his master’s friend, an English nobleman, was supposed to arrive. The servant, who had never met the man, asked his master, “How will I recognize him?” To which his master replied, “He will be a tall man helping somebody.” What a description!
I thought of that story after seeing the excellent film version of Kathryn Stockett’s best-selling novel, The Help.

Even with the losses that accompany aging, each birthday I find there is more to be grateful for than there was the year before.

Money talks on July 4
Most of the time when we say, “Money Talks,” we mean that money and wealth carry persuasive power when important decisions are being made. But money also talks in another way: by the words that are emblazoned on our coins.

Building community
Faith Presbyterian Church pastor Rev. Jim Witherow seems to spend as much time outside the walls of his church as he does inside, striving to balance the needs of his 200-member congregation with the needs of a growing community.
