Love Your Library event held at Heppner Friends of the Heppner Library awarded Volunteer of the Year to Pat Struthers at the group’s annual Love Your Library meeting, held Thursday, Feb. 12. The keynote speaker of the event was retired school teacher and local historian Lucille Peck. Peck gave a presenta- tion based on her booklet, “Files of Time: Keeping Track of Your Genealogy,” in which she encouraged people to consider histori- cal events when compiling personal data, as it will often give understanding to the reasons for family relocations and deaths. Peck was followed by Marsha Richmond, library district director, who shared the opportunities avail- able for doing genealogy research at the local library. The meeting concluded with an update by Shan- non Hill on the Morrow County Historical Society Chronicles. Hill reminded attendees that both input and writers are ongoing needs for successful pub- Lucille Peck (left) and Neva DeMayo at the recent Love Your lications.

Lent series to help Krispy Kremes a experience God through sweet way to support ‘I Am’ statements day care “Knowing the Great I developed in conjunction Arbuckle Nordic Ski Club members said last Saturday was a time for “stripping off the polar fleece and slapping on the sun screen” as they made their way up the 070 spur towards Arbuckle Mountain. It was a steady uphill climb with a few bare spots to walk through, but the scenery and sunshine made up for it. A head-on encounter with a snowshoe hare added a bit of excitement. “You’d think our five-dog pack would be pro- viding meat for our lunchtime stew, but after a brief interlude of chaos, not a drop of blood was spilled,” joked one member. Pictured on the trail are (L-R) Emily Anderson, Dan Van Liew, Sherry Ewing, Terry Harper and Betsy Anderson with a few of their “five-dog pack.” –Contributed photo Am,” a multi-week sermon series, will begin Sunday at the Heppner United Meth- odist Church.

Are You Only Half A Person? In I Cor. ll we are told that just as the human body has many parts, so does the church. Most of us don't do well at walking on our hands and I can't write so you can read it with my feet. Just as the hands and feet need each other, we each need all the other members of the body of Christ. Find a good Bible believing church and join with them every time you have opportunity. Let them minister to you and you find a place to serve among them. You'll be amazed at how much more complete you will be.
