EGG HUNT

The Easter Egg hunt was well attended. It is wonderful to see so many participating in local events after a long hiatus caused by the pandemic. Watch for more events in the community.


CREEKSIDE MARKET

Creekside plans to be open for Friday night gatherings starting in May.


OUR ANN CLEVELAND

It is with a heavy heart that I pass the news on that a most wonderful lady, a friend to all, Ann (Stone) Cleveland passed away this week. She will be greatly missed! Please keep her large & loving family in prayer. More about Ann’s exciting life and legacy will be written in an up-coming column (Christine).


CHRISTINE’S CORNER

Everything centered around Easter this past week for me; doors were open to all at Rocky Hill Baptist church the evening of Good Friday, and I spent some time there.


Our last “dress” rehearsal for this year’s Easter cantata was on Saturday at 2:00 pm. Open to the public, we had a good crowd, still allowing for social distancing. I was selected to be one-half of the narration team and was given my pages on the day of our rehearsal. But I like a challenge, and love narrating, so was happy to do so! Reading it through “cold” the first time, in the church nursery before climbing the choir loft, I felt more like a “plain white rapper”. This revelation is all it took to calm me. All went well; the Saturday visitors said everything sounded amazing!


After performing the Easter cantata on Easter morning many in attendance commented that we sounded like a large choir of over 40 great voices! We totaled only 16, including our incredibly talented choir director Lenoir Bishop.


I pray you each had a wonderful week of celebrating in your own way. Please let Linda or me know your good news!


AROUND THE HOUSE – by Linda Young

My refrigerator's defrost drain plugged up. I tried to correct this by manually defrosting it with a hairdryer twice. The second time I tried I left the hairdryer on too long and bubbled the floor of the freezer a bit. The ice was gone but not the problem. After that failed attempt I consulted YouTube. The repair looked simple enough but I called an appliance repair technician who fixed the problem in about 20 minutes. I told him about YouTube and he said "I get a lot of business from YouTube failures". Appliance repairman, Keith Mann, saved the day.
