Aglow Lighthouse enjoys Back to School Bash By Rhea Allinson I'm thankful my group, Aglow Lighthouse Columbia, got to participate in the City of Columbia's Back to School Bash on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at the City Park on Fairground Street. We had all kinds of desserts we were able to give to kids of all ages. Michelle Young made some brownies and put candy eyes in them. One of my friends, Tanesha Wilham came by and grabbed one of the brownies that had an eye on it. She told her son Wyatt (the one getting his face painted), "Here you want a brownie? He says, "No that's got somebody's eye on it!" The Columbia Lighthouse Aglow International functions as a local gathering place for ministry and for women and men to fellowship, worship, and grow in deeper intimacy with God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Aglow meets at different locations, depending on the event. Find more on facebook or by emailing aglowcolumbialighthouse@gmail.com. 2026-08-03 16:05:11 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Church News
Blue Raider Band members show off new uniforms By Duane Bonifer The Lindsey Wilson University Blue Raider Band won't perform in their new uniforms until the football team's August 27, 2026, season-opener at Parnell Family Stadium. But a select group of people got to see some members of the Blue Raider Band show off the new musical outfits on Sunday, August 2, 2026, in the Blue Raider Band Building. "I'm super excited to have them, and I'm really thankful we have new uniforms," said Dante Eads '29, a biology major from Russell Springs, who plays saxophone in the band. "I'm glad to be part of it." The Blue Raider Band's new uniforms, which were voted on by the band members, feature the colors blue, white, gray, silver and black. The Lindsey Wilson Blue Raider logo is emblazoned on the uniform's left breast, and it is topped with a cavalier hat trimmed with a feather, which connects band members to the Lindsey Wilson athletics mascot, Blue Raider Bob, whose cavalier also includes a feather. In addition to the hats, the new uniforms also include rain jackets. Members of the color guard and the drum major also received new uniforms. "This is an amazing investment the university has made in you all," Lindsey Wilson Director of Bands Robert Palmer told the band members who attended the Sunday event.
