This Wednesday, May 13th, the Presbyterian Village is hosting their annual Good Samaritan Auction and Dinner. The Village is a wonderful, not for profit independent and assisted living community that provides excellence in service guided by Christian values.
Part of the Good Samaritan program provides assistance for seniors that have outlived their financial resources and allows them to continue to receive services at the Village. This is only made possible by generous donations and the Village’s once a year fundraiser: dinner and auction.
Live auction begins at 5:30pm, donations appreciated ($5 / ticket or $10 for 3 tickets) for a chance to win a 4-day, 3-night vacation package to the Ozarks in Branson!Tickets may be purchased from any Presbyterian Village Board Member or at the Village office. Tickets for dinner are $8.50 in advance & $10.00 at the door. Meal provided by Chicken Annie’s- you can choose to dine-in or carry-out! Call the Village to order early to get the $8.50 price, orders need to be placed by 8:30am, Wednesday morning.

Last Thursday, almost 100 city leaders and community members gather at FSCC Ellis Fine Arts building to observe the National Day of Prayer.
The National Day of Prayer was established in 1952 by Harry S. Truman. Since then, events like Thursday morning’s prayer breakfast has been happening around the nation ever since.
Dona Bauer, President of the Pioneer Kiwanis started the meeting followed by an opening prayer by Pastor Scott Moore, Church of the Nazarene. Sarah Mae Lamar shared special music accompanied by Jeremy Culbertson followed by a short message from Pastor Tim Woodring, Community Christian Church.
This event was generously sponsored by: Cheney Witt Funeral Chapel, FSCC, FS Area Chamber of Commerce, FS Ministerial Alliance and FS Pioneer Kiwanis.
