Hunt alumnus, family member memorialized; organizer grateful for continued calling

We had a young man who came on our hunt in 2019 by the name of Jack Plowman from Gordo, Ala. His family was not able to be with us on Friday night for the supper due to previous plans. But I shared how Jack came on our hunt and killed an 8-point buck. He killed ducks on a duck hunt. He killed a doe one afternoon. And he killed rabbits on the rabbit hunt.

A question which has echoed through the years — answered!

Warren Davis, George Malone and Charles Patrick, part of “The Monotones,” in 1957 recorded a song they had written. Their song asked a question, “Who Wrote the Book of Love?” Also called “Book of Love,” the doo-wop song would be a hit and is still familiar to many in 2025.
With so much said, sung, written and recorded, the idea and curiosity about love might lead us to ask the same question. Who did write the book of love?

Preston Headrick - ‘We are Valuable To Him’

Matthew 6:25-26 states, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”

January is National School Board Recognition Month

With a theme of “Building Tomorrow’s Future,” many state, city and local school boards are  being recognized in the month of January for all their efforts on behalf of students and communities across the nation.
In Marion County, we are so fortunate to have two great school boards, the Winfield City Board of Education and the Marion County Board of Education.
We applaud each board member and thank them for all their years of dedication and service for our youth during their many years in school, which is often one of the most definitive periods of their entire lives.
