Thanks to all who helped make our presentation of Handel’s “Messiah” a success: Dr. Janet McCumber, our director; our singers for their talent and time; those providing accompaniment; the area communities for their support; the Presbyterian and the Bible churches for the use of their facilit…
I don’t recall Tony Lee attacking the National Rifle Association or the Republican party back when he was a candidate for Ford County state’s attorney. His Sept. 11 letter puts him in league with Democrats. What a train wreck they are! There is currently a leftist jihad against Christian val…
