Grace Lutheran Church “Grace Weekly” – Constant Contact weekly newsletter for Feb. 23, 2017

Weekend Worship

This coming Sunday we conclude the time after Epiphany by celebrating the Transfiguration of our Lord, when Jesus went up a mountain and showed himself to be divine. Then next Wednesday we observe Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, as Jesus walks up another mountain and shows himself to be human. Come to worship, to praise this Jesus Christ, to hear him speak, and to partake of his body.

Worship Services at Grace this weekend include:
Saturday at 5:00;
Sunday at 7:45, 9:00 and 11:15

The Children’s Chorus of Carroll County
will be singing at the 11:15 service.

We hope to see you at worship this weekend.

96-year-old Warren Dorsey, the grandson of a slave, grew up poor in Sykesville during the 1920s and '30s.

Mr. Dorsey is an amazing man.

Please read about him here: http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/columnists/features/ph-cc-dayhoff-021917-20170216-column.html

Kristin Marie Spurrier, missing since February 4th, 2017, was located deceased

10:59 P.M. Monday, Feb. 20, 2017

Incredibly sad: According to the Carroll County Sheriff's office: "Westminster, Carroll County, Maryland; February 20th, 2017 ----- The Carroll County Sheriff's Office is saddened to report that Kristin Marie Spurrier, who had been missing since February 4th, 2017, was located deceased in her vehicle earlier this afternoon.

At approximately 4pm, a Baltimore County resident observed the 2010 Ford Fusion belonging to Kristin Spurrier parked in the area of Shaftsbury Court, Reisterstown. The resident contacted the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, and detectives from both the Carroll County Sheriff's Office and Baltimore County Police Department responded to the scene. Kristin Spurrier was located deceased within the vehicle, and was transported to the Medical Examiner's Office for further investigation into the cause of death.

Due to the location which she was located, Baltimore County Police will now assume the lead role in the investigation.

We at the Carroll County Sheriff's Office would like to thank the Baltimore County Police, the Baltimore City Police, the numerous media outlets, and the citizens who shared the lookout in the hopes of finding Kristin. We truly appreciate all of your efforts.

February 19, 1971 Community Reporter, YMCA FORMULATING PLANS TO CONDUCT SUMMER DAY CAMP

YMCA FORMULATING PLANS TO CONDUCT SUMMER DAY CAMP

February 19, 1971 Community Reporter

Labels: History This Day in History, History This Day in History 0219, YMCA

The Carroll County YMCA Program Committee, under the direction of W. Norris Weis, has begun to formulate plans for its summer day camp.

The 1971 season has been extended to four two-week sessions covering an eight week period. The sessions are scheduled to begin on June 28, July 12, July 26, and August 9.

Presently the committee is in the process of securing the staff to include the director, four senior counselors, and four counselors in training. Interested persons may apply at the YMCA office at 117 E. Main St., Westminster.

Additions to this year's camping staff, which will improve the programmed activities, are a program coordinator and possibly a foreign counselor.

Scheduled events will include aquatics, nature and camp craft, arts and crafts, sports, and special theme days.

Both boys and girls ages 6 to 14 are eligible to be enrolled as campers. Transportation will again be provided at key pick-up points throughout the county for the convenience of the campers. Scholarships are being sought so that the underprivileged youths of the area can take advantage of the opportunity of having a day camp experience.

Sunday church service at Grace Lutheran Church. 19Feb2017

Sunday church service at Grace Lutheran Church. 19Feb2017 These days, pastors are about as apprehensive as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. "But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Matthew 5:44 In a time if high anxiety, we are called upon to be the facilitators of reconciliation. God works through us to bring healing and reconciliation to a broken world. well, anyway, that's what I heard and I am sticking with it. Just saying.
