Tourism program set in lone Wendy Cloyd, assistant direc tor of the State Travel Informa tion Council presented program offerings in lone Wednesday, Feb. 19. The council is respon sible for signs of a tourism nature to help the motoring visitor find hospitality and historical sites, as well as other related oppor tunities, said a press release. “ The travel information coun cil has been very sensitive to the business and other tourism related facilities in the rural areas of our state,” says Cloyd. “ They have provided more flexible rules where they could, and lowered fees significantly to make pro grams easier for the rural areas.” The state agency, totally self- supporting through the use of sign fees, has recently adopted the rustic historic sign program from the department of transportation. This program and how new signs may be placed, will be the focus of Cloyd’s presentation. goals Hope, Valby plan healing service Soroptimists set Allstott, Marlene Celebrate with Hallmark this St. Patrick's Day.

Wimtuj'j D/uuj 217 North Main Heppner 676-9158 The congregations of Hope and Valby Lutheran churches are sponsoring a service of healing on Sunday. Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. at Hope Lutheran Church. “ In some ways this is a new concept for Lutherans,” said Rev. Stan Hoobing. “ We always pray for the sick and shut-ins and for doc tors and medical staff, but a ser vice for healing is new. And yet in many ways this service for healing is as old as the scrip tures.” Healing was practiced in the old testament with readings, prayers and anointing of oil. Jesus healed the sick, the lame and the blind. His disciples did works of healing with spoken word and the laying on of hands and anointing with oil. “ Everyone is invited to come to the service and see what a ser vice of healing can do for your life,” said Hoobing. Pastor Hoobing will preach on the theme of “ New Life in Christ” during the morning wor ship service. Valby worship ser vice, located outside of lone, begins at 9 a m. and Hope Lutheran church located near the dam, begins at 11 a.m. The message will be taken from the scripture reading of I Corinthians 15: 35-38a, 42-50.
