Church emphasizes importance of deaf ministry

Fri Apr 16 2010, 20:37 by Admin

Traditionally, the deaf have been an overlooked group in the world of
religion, according to First Baptist Church of Arnold officials.

"Less
than 1 percent of the deaf in North America have ever heard the gospel
in their heart language, which is sign language," said the Rev. Bob
Caldwell, First Baptist's pastor of outreach.

However, at First Baptist, the congregation has made ministering to the deaf a priority, he said.

"We have multiple deaf ministries throughout our church and community," he said.

While I don't want 'political' debate here, these folks need help. This situation is unacceptable, it was a mistake to let these homes be built.

Letters to Arnold residents say methane gas could be leaking into homes

Fri Feb 19 2010, 00:31 by Admin

KSDK -- Residents in a Jefferson County suburb are
getting letters from a testing company that methane gas may be leaking
into their homes. It's the second time in a week that residents living
near closed landfills have been notified that methane may be leaking
from the landfills at levels higher than allowed.
The latest round of letters is going to neighbors who live near a
long closed landfill near Highway 141 and Astra Way. The dump closed in
1977 after a lawsuit by neighbors complained of the nuisance.
Della Baker says she was part of the old lawsuit and is disappointed
in the latest …

(admin note: This really isn't political, however, until I figure a proper place for these sort of things, I wanted to give our firefighters their due, without having it get lost into the general category!)
When Rock Community Fire Protection District began collecting toys in 1975, the district staff would meet once a week working almost as Santa's elves, refurbishing used toys donated to the holiday toy drive.

Volunteers worked diligently to repair and repaint the toys, making them as good as new for their new owners come Christmas morning. As the years passed, the toys brought in through the toy drive were newer, needing fewer repairs.

Today the district no longer refurbishes old toys but still collects toys to deliver to local children for Christmas.
