"Great
Is Thy Faithfulness," a celebration worship service commemorating
St. John's Lutheran Church of Hartsburg's 125th
anniversary, will begin at 10 a.m. Sunday, June 27, at the church,
with Bishop Warren Freiheit and the Rev. David Russell officiating.
Immediately following the service, a catered luncheon will be
served, and there will be entertainment by a southern gospel group,
The Gospelaires. Reservations for the luncheon are $8 per person and
can be made by calling 376-3242.
The
Land of Lincoln Honor Flight board of directors would like to
thank the individuals, businesses and organizations that helped make
it possible to fly 138 World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., to
see their memorial during April and May. A charter flight on June 22
will fly 95 additional veterans. Monetary and in-kind donations,
volunteered time, media coverage and the service provided by
guardians made these flights possible.
All members and the general public are invited to the Land of
Lincoln semiannual meeting on July 10 at 1 p.m. at the Lakeside
Christian Church, 225 Toronto Road in Springfield. The board of
directors, a financial report, fundraising possibilities and an
update on past and future flights will be presented.
If you have any questions, please call Ray Wiedle, chairman, at
314-427-2317 or 217-622-1473.
The
Lincoln Rotary Club will have a community food drive on
Saturday, June 26, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at IGA and Walmart. Rotary
volunteers will be at the entrance of each location to collect
nonperishable food and donations. The goal is to raise over $3,000
in food and cash during the five-hour event. At the event last
November, the club raised close to $3,000. All proceeds will be
given to Logan County food banks.
For more details on this event, please call Joel Smiley,
executive director of the Lincoln & Logan County Development
Partnership, at 217-732-8739.
