On Monday night, Spring Hope’s Chamber of Commerce met with concerned citizens to discuss the town’s Pumpkin Festival. Due to a lack of volunteers, the chamber was considering the possibility of canceling the festival.
Of course, hearing the news that there could be no festival this year upset a lot of folks so the chamber held a meeting to discuss what goes on behind the scenes and encouraged folks to step up and help.
Inside today’s paper you’ll find the “Protecting Our Children” tabloid which, in my opinion, is one of the most important special editions we publish here at The Graphic.
This publication delivers important information to parents regarding dangers and peer pressures that youth are exposed to such as alcohol, drugs, internet predators, social media and more.

Last week ended on a high note. The first thing is that none of the pets that we promoted died. Did that mean NONE died? Nope. It ONLY means that the “Adoptable” ones didn’t die. For example, if you let your cat outside, they can revert to the feral state (being wild, not being able to be handled) or start hanging out with other cats, many of them feral. Then your cat might have died.
We had 72 including one visitor in Sunday school. Robert Tyner welcomed everyone. He shared that the youth attended a good program at the Dunn Center last night. Pastor Aycock and his wife, Nancy went with them. He is not going to miss any fun events or meals if he can help it. He has a great sense of humor and just makes you love him. He is a great preacher also.
It’s time to mark your calendars again! This Friday night, March 1st at 5:00 it’s time, once again, for the monthly fish fry at the Beulah Church of Christ Annex on Reges Rd. We always look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. Please come and bring the family and friends with you.
After a rainy Saturday, Sunday morning dawned sunny and beautiful. Peachtree folks gathered for worship. Pastor Whitehouse chose as his sermon topic, “Are We Listening to What God is Saying?” It was based on scripture passage Revelations 1: 1-7. God is telling us not to be so busy doing “church” that we forget to love Him. An apt quotation by a theologian says: “We can lose Christ by distraction, as easily as by denial.”
