MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS

TREES HELPS ELDERLY

Festival of Trees lights up

Aiken November 21-25Building on the success of its

debut last fall, the Festival of

Trees is back to raise awareness

and funds for the Aiken Area

Council on Aging, a multi-service

agency devoted to the well being

of seniors. Last year, the festival

raised enough money to continue

the Meals on Wheels program and

provide 5,300 meals to the countys

seniors in need. The AAOC has

bigger goals for its major annual

fund-raiser this year. The number

of seniors participating in our

programs grows every year, and

Meals on Wheels is by far our most

popular form of outreach, says

Scott Murphy, agency executive

director. We have a wait list

for the program, and I want toeliminate the wait list.

A dazzling start to the holiday

season, the Festival of Trees

presents exquisitely decorated

Christmas trees, along with

wreaths, garland, and other

decorations all available for

purchase through a silent

auction. Items are sponsored by

local businesses and decorated

by volunteers with vision. Each

tree is designed with a specific

theme, and decorators go above

and beyond clever to create

one-of-kind masterpieces worth

every penny they bring in for

the AAOC. Members of three

sewing guilds have collaborated to

make ornaments for a Victorian-

designed tree, friends of Barbara

Sue Brodie NeedleWorks have

needlepointed the Twelve Days

of Christmas, and designer Zoe

Meldrum is back after her wildly

popular Christmas in the Woods

tree on behalf of Sand River

Womens Club sparked a bidding

frenzy last year.

Set in the historic Fermata Club

this year, the festival kicks off the

day before Thanksgiving with a

morning viewing for seniors. That

evening, the Festival Unplugged

hopes to loosen up bidders with a

cocktail party where guests can

enjoy drinks, food, and live music.

A much-anticipated addition to the

party is a decorating contest that

pits local media against each other

armed with glue guns, tinsel, and

a surprise element to incorporateinto their designs. Its Wreath

War, and it will be front and center

up on stage for all to see. The

winner will be selected by popular

vote, and the results, too, will be

available for bidding.

The last special event planned

for the festival is Breakfast with

Santa on Saturday, November

24, where families with young

children can eat among the forest

of twinkling lights and have their

photograph taken with the jolly

man himself.

The festival is open daily,

November 21-25, when guests

can tour and bid on the trees

and other decorations while

enjoying complimentary cookies

and beverages. Visitors who find

a favorite tree to light up their

home this season may purchase itimmediately at a Buy It Now price.

Festival of Trees is a new holiday

tradition for the entire community

to bring awareness to and generate

funds for the Aiken Area Council

on Aging. Now in its second year,

the Festival of Trees hopes to

remain an annual affair whose

funds will be used to continue

the Council on Agings Meals on

Wheels program, which delivers

food Monday through Friday to

homebound seniors in Aiken,

Gloverville, Jackson, Wagener,

and Windham House; and provide

van transportation for the disabled

and daily lunches at five locations

within Aiken County.

Sensei Steve DurhamAchieves 3rd DegreeBlack Belt Level

Steve Durham started

studying the martial arts back

in the late 1970s when martial

arts schools were hard to find.

He began training under the late

Grandmaster Virgil Kimmey,

a martial arts pioneer for our

area. Mr. Steve tested for his 1st

and 2nd degree black belt under

Mr. Kimmey in the 1980s and

has been training since then. He

trained under Mr. Kimmey

and Grandmaster David

German who was from the Ed

Parker Kenpo line. He came

up from the school of hard

knocks and specializes in

Kenpo style self-defense and

sparring. Anyone who has been

hit or kicked by him will

remember him forever. Johnny Hughes started

training under Mr. Kimmey in

1991 and met Steve, who was

training for his 3rd degree at the

time. Mr. Steve was in and

out of class because of his work

and family schedule but kept

training at home and in the

dojo. Several years after Mr.

Kimmeys death, Mr. Steve

joined the school that Mr.

Hughes opened in Clearwater.

Mr. Steve finally achieved

his 3rd degree black belt level

the last week of October.

Congratulations go out to him

for his major accomplishment.

Regardless of how amazing he is

with his fighting skill, he is one

RamblingsBy Pastor Lynn Kirkland

Phm 1:1-3 From Paul, who is

in jail for serving Christ Jesus,

and from Timothy, who is likea brother because of our faith.

Philemon, you work with us and

are very dear to us. This letter is to

you and to the church that meets

in your home. It is also to our dear

friend Apphia and to Archippus,

who serves the Lord as we do. I

pray that God our Father and our

Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to

you and will bless you with peace!the church that meets in your

home. Hmmm.

I was asked recently what my

ideal church would look like. I

responded, to have a church with

NO walls - more of a f lash-mob

church where we just send out a

text as to the time and place to

meet.

Well, we are getting close!Cowboy Church will be meeting

this Sunday morning (11-4) at

Gurleys IGA in Warrenville @ 9:30

am. We will also meet there on the

18th. Then Cowboy Church @ The

Hippodrome on the 25th for the

Winter Classic Barrel Horse Show.

Gods moving in our midst! We

just need to get where He is.

During a discussion about who

or what church is recently a

Pastor friend of Mine stated that

when Jesus comes back He is not

taking a bunch of buildings with

Him. He is coming for people.

We have reached a point we dont

know who or what the church is.

The early church met house

to house most every day of the

week. They knew that they the

individuals - were church. At

Cowboy Church we have a saying,

We dont go to church we are

church, and when we gathertogether with each other, or with

other believers, we have church.

A lot of folks seem to think we

are a bunch of radicals, or even

worse, a cult, because our regular

gathering time is on Wednesday

@ 6 PM. We also have services on

Sunday if an opportunity presents

itself (as in the case of Gurleys

IGA and the Barrel horse Show!)We are not against having

Sunday services. We are not

against churches meeting in

buildings. Its just that we have

different priorities. Our number 1

priority is to take the Good News

of Jesus Christ to the people that

need it and, surprisingly, want to

hear it.

We recently gathered in

Clearwater Shopping Center.

While we were there, in the rain,

we met a lot of nice people. A lot of

them were unchurched but more

importantly most were lost. We

met one young man in his late

teens or early twenties that said

he knew he was going to Hell and

did not know what to do about it.

We presented Jesus to him and he

professed Jesus as his Savior in

the rain, in Bi-Lo parking lot.

We talked with another nice

lady that was a church goer andprofessed to be a believer but was

not sure she would go to Heaven.

We were able to explain Gods gift

of Salvation to her and she went

away with the assurance that we

would meet again in Heaven one

day.

But many ask, What is that

doing to build Cowboy Church?

Our answer, Not a thing! Andwe are so excited! You see, we are

Kingdom builders. It is our job to

build the Kingdom and God will

take care of growing the church.

We made a mission trip/revival

to Akron, Ohio last May. That

church is now on the move

reaching people, building The

Kingdom. We are going back this

May to help some more. Then weare going to Zimbabwe in June to

plant churches there. Then I am

going to upstate New York to work

with a new church plant there.

God really is on the move! We

just need to find out where He is

and get in His midst. I can tell you

this, God is not bound by a certain

day of the week nor is He locked up

in a building.

Come visit us a COWBOY

CHURCH where being a Christian

is fun (stretching and expanding

maybe, but still fun!)

Father Christmas, betterknown to many as St. Nicholas,will visit on Nov. 24 to greet all

I will be bringing candy canesfor my visitors, and be availablefor photos by parents, promisedFather Christmas.

By Debbi Mims

This year, thanks to a grant

from Savannah River Nuclear

Solutions, LBC Middle School is

piloting a school to home vegetable

garden. Students involved are

Haley Proctor, Tessa Boone,

Cameron Preacher, Faith White,Tierra French, Cade Bishop,

Allen Kub, Demonte Pixley,

and Nicholus Cleghorn. After

the garden was plowed by an adult

volunteer, students prepared the

soil and planted onions, collards,

brocolli, parsley, caulif lower,

radishes, carrots and cabbages.

The students involved work hard

and love getting down and dirty

with the garden. So far, they have

been able to taste parsley, and the

rest of the plants are doing well.

As a bonus, they are learning

valuable math and science lessonsthat help them in their classes.

Mostly, though, they and their

families are looking forward to the

day when they bring home a meal!

The hope is that this first foray

into vegetable growing goes so

well that more students will get

involved and eventually our

produce can be used in the school

cafeteria for organic, homegrown,

healthy lunches, or that it willgrow into a school/community

gardening partnership which

includes sharing work and

produce with volunteers from our

community.
