Ephesus Community News VBS ended Friday with family night as classes showed us what they had learned about Jesus through songs, cave art drawings, and a very dramatic display by the older youth of Jesus dying on the cross. Pastor David announced two challenges for the week. First, if our attendance was greater than 250, he would kiss a pig. Second, if we raised $500 in offerings he would let Scott Strickland “pie” him in the face. Scott then agreed to be “pied” by Pastor David if we raised $1,000. The offerings would be given to Faith Christian Ministries in Spring Hope. In the end, Pastor David puckered up to kiss a baby pig and both gentlemen received a pudding pie in the face as attendance goal was met and collections were well over $1,000.

State Senator Bryant's efforts would be better served to become more sensitive and responsive to the needs of the people who elected her to office rather than the citizens of another county.
