Remember the fallen this Memorial Day weekend
Memorial Day weekend is this coming weekend. Memorial Day used to be called Decoration Day and was proclaimed to remember all the service men and women who perished in the line of duty. Most of us go to the many cemeteries and place flowers on the graves of our loved ones. To me, this is what it is all about…remembering our deceased loved ones. While you are there remembering, please take time to find members of each of the cemetery boards and donate to the maintaining of the cemeteries. The cemeteries do not take care of themselves and require maintaining year around. The New Salem Town Board Meeting will be Tuesday, June 14, at the New Salem Town Hall at 7 p.m. Prayer Requests: Miracles to all branches of government to turn back to God, Healing answers for cancer, and the coronavirus to totally stop. And for these individuals: Anne Hopkins, Brad Horath, Bonnie Prudoehl, Brian Bradshaw, Carl Blacketer, Charla Prior, Cheryl Rheynard, Erma Garner, Gary Dice, Greg and Shari Ketterman, Ginger Whitlock, Heather Shafer, Jerry Gully, Josh Bennett, Judy Dockhorn, Les Garner, Leonard and Sharon Dice, Lois Thomas, Mark York, Michael Miller, Mike Miller, Nic Carter, Peggy Piper, Roger Bonnett, Sandy Reel, Sharon Straus, and Sue Gleckler.Birthdays and anniversaries: May 25, Kasey Bonnett, May 26, Caleb Archambo, Gary Butler, Toni Daniels, Kenny and Sandy Peterson, May 27, Brooke Elder, May 28, Lesley Myers, Rachel Myers, Jim and Dee WintjenMay 30, Kerensa Webel.

Faith is praising God in the storm,
Trusting Him in the valley,
And following Him in the darkness.
