Men’s
Breakfast
Center Barnstead Christian Church will be hosting a free
Men’s Breakfast on Saturday, December 18th at 7:30 AM. All men are
welcome to attend. Our speaker this month will be Jerry B. Jenkins (via
DVD), author of Hedges.
Divorce rates are steadily climbing and
infidelity is creeping into even the strongest marriages. How can you
keep your marriage from being destroyed while living in a society that
makes light of adultery, and with temptation and opportunity coming at
you from all directions? You will learn how to plant hedges around your
marriage. These hedges are practical ways to avoid compromising
situations and giving into temptation.
Center Barnstead Christian
Church is located on Route 126, next to the Town Hall. Please call
269-8831, if you have any questions.
Letter
To the Editor
On behalf of the students, faculty, administration, and
staff of Prospect Mountain High School, I would like to publicly thank
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Owen for their efforts in getting some library books
delivered to the school on Friday, December 10, 2010.
On Thursday,
December 9, 2010, Walter witnessed two boxes falling off a delivery
truck on the road, stopped and picked them up, and then tried to alert
the driver about the missing cargo. When he was unable to attract the
attention of the driver, he brought the boxes home and he and his wife,
Sandy, opened them up and determined that they were brand new books that
were to be delivered to the library at Prospect Mountain High School. I
received a message from Sandy about what had happened and that Walter
would be bringing the books to the school, which he did first thing the
very next morning.
Thank you, Walter and Sandy. We at Prospect
Mountain High School wish you a very happy, peaceful, and prosperous
holiday season!
Sincerely,
Cathy Fraser
