Letter: A message from Barbara Armitage

Barbara Armitage writes:
Over the years so many people have devoted time and energy to the restoration and upkeep of the Rose Garden. I want to thank them all. When I stepped down as president of the Garden Club I knew the club and the Rose Garden would endure in the very capable hands of Donna Jones. Donna has worked tirelessly for the past 6 years always making certain that the Trabue House Julia Horton Rose Garden was a place that Adair County could be proud of. My thanks to Donna and all the members of the Adair County Garden Club for their work and devotion to our community. --Barbara

More information about Antioch Christian Church

By Paul Patton

There is a regular Sunday School held at Antioch Christian Church in Casey County at 10amET each Sunday. In addition, once a month, at 2pmET on the third Sunday, there is a preaching service performed by a supply preacher.

Unfortunately, the preacher who had served Antioch as regular pastor to the congregation passed away last year, and they have not yet secured the services of another.

Hopefully, we can locate a dedicated person who will agree to become pastor of the very small congregation that worships at Antioch. It is such a unique building and some wonderful people attend and, hopefully, there can be a brighter future for them with a regular pastor.

For additional information call Paul Patton, 1 - 606-872-2840 or email pcpatton62@yahoo.com.
