Celebration of Life" ceremony

 This evening of celebration

an inspirational message of
hope by guest speaker Homer
Hirt. A reception with
refreshments will follow.
There is no charge to attend.
 "Participating in the Tree
of Lights is a meaningful way
to make a gift in memory or


in honor of a special loved
one, said Barbara Bentley,
volunteer manager for
Covenant Hospice. "Loved
ones will be personally recog-
nized during the ceremony.
We invite the community to
celebrate the holidays with
us while we remember family
and friends."
 Special commemorative
ornaments personalized with
a loved one's name will be
available to hang on the tree
or to keep.
 All donations benefit
Covenant Hospice, enabling
them to continue their mis-
sion of providing compas-


sionate, quality care for
patients and loved ones fac-
ing end-of-life issues.


 Guilt Feelings
 Hebrew 10:2
 Neal Hightower told this
story, "When I was a boy vis-
iting my grandfather's farm
for the summer, one of the
favorite pastimes was telling
stories. I recall sitting on the
porch after supper one
evening and hearing the
grown-ups spinning yarns'
about snakes swallowing
calves. Toward sundown, my
grandfather handed me a
horse bridle and told me to go
catch Jim, the horse, and
bring him to the house.
Throwing the long, black bri-
dle over my shoulder, I went
off on the errand, full of the
vigor of a nine-year-old, but
also with a mind full of the
stories I had been hearing.
 "Striding along and
whistling to keep my fears of
the approaching darkness at
bay, I suddenly- heard a
rustling noise behind me.


 For more information, call
Covenant Hospice at 482-
8520.


Looking out of the corner of
my eye, I noted a 'black thing'
following me. With activated
imagination, I immediately
concluded that a black snake
was about to eat me up. Off I
ran like a deer. However, it
seemed that as I ran faster,
the snake picked up speed
also. Finally, exhausted and
unable to run another step, I1
fell to the ground, convinced
that my days were over.
That's when I discovered that
the 'black thing' following me
was the bridle I had been
dragging over my shoulder!"
 Sin is totally like that. It
will stalk our conscience and
fills us with the dread of
guilt. Neither elaborate ritual
nor psychological analysis is
able to dissolve the burden of
convicting guilt. Only Christ's
grace of forgiveness can free
us from that dread, which
pursues us without any
mercy.


 Want to have more mean-
ing in your life? Do you want
to do something that is satis-
fying and of great service to
your community? Then
become a Hospice of the
Emerald Coast volunteer!!!
 Volunteers are needed in
your area to help families of
the terminally ill. Becoming a
hospice volunteer is similar
to helping a neighbor in need.
The only qualification
required is your desire to
help someone in need. You
'don't need any medical skills;
you don't even need a college
degree; you don't even need
to know what to say. All you
need to do is sign up for our
hospice volunteer training
which will be held in your
local area.



 We deeply appreciate the
flowers, food, cards, letters,
phone calls and other contri-
butions form friends and rel-
atives during the loss of our
"Mrs Lucy". We are most
grateful to Dr. Clifford
Bristol, the staff at
Parthenon Healthcare of
Blountstown, and Covenant
Hospice for their assistance
and kindness during our
time of sadness. A special
thanks to Rev. Phillip
Williams of Poplar Head
Baptist Church for his con-
cerns and kindness.
 To each and everyone, we
thank you from the bottom of
our heart.

 A messenger, three special
gifts, a distant journey and
the arrival of a first-born son.
It's Christmas but not the
first Christmas, and it's not
in Bethlehem.
 It's Christmas time in
 Miller County, 1942, and the
 last person anyone wants to
 see is the telegraph messen-
 ger. Doors are locked and
 shades are drawn as town
 folks avoid his arrival. With a
 bundle of special deliveries
 that need to be made by
 Christmas Eve, Andy Athe
telegraph rhan has to find
some pretty inventive ways. to
deliver his news. A soldier's
long awaited journey to be
home for Christmas hangs in
the balance.
 Cotton Hall Christmas, a
 nostalgic glimpse into region-
 al stories from the World War
 II era, and filled with tradi-
 tional Christmas tunes of the
 time, promises to become a

new family tradition in
Colquitt, Georgia.
Guaranteed to warm the
hearts of young and old alike,
Cotton Hall Christmas pres-
ents the stories of every-day
miracles that happen around
us, even in difficult times.
And above all, it delivers the
true meaning of Christmas.
