Welcome to another week!
One of Fallowfield’s own is running for State Representative in District 17. Gary Temple of Hartstown is a long-time resident of the Atlantic community.
Gary Temple’s platform includes lowering or eliminating property taxes, creating job opportunities by setting up liquefied natural gas plants using the shale gas formations, providing more education with emphasis on increased math and science studies so that students can participate in a global economy and be able to compete with foreign students, and strengthening our local trade schools, colleges and universities.
Temple is pro-life, believing we need to protect the unborn.
Temple supports the right of self-protection that insures people have the right to defend themselves in all situations.
Temple encourages the preservation of our lakes and water ways in order to promote tourism in our area.
Temple supports local businesses along with all types of farming including dairy, beef, chicken, pork, grain and seed producers.
Most importantly, based on his lifelong experiences, Temple wants to be a voice for the entire 17th District.
I have known Gary since childhood. He is running on the Republican ticket against Parke Wentling of Greenville. Both are vying for Representative Michele Brooks’ seat. She is running for State Senator in light of Bob Robbins’ retirement.
Chicken pie bakers assembled at Fallowfield United Methodist Church to make pies on Saturday, February 22. All profits go to missions projects.
Ash Wednesday is March 5. This is the official beginning of Lent, when Christians reflect Jesus’ road to the cross and prepare our hearts for Easter. Pastor Dave Bell will preach at 7 p.m. at Fallowfield United Methodist. Please join us. We’d love to see you.
There is a community breakfast at 8 a.m. on Saturday, March 8, 2014, at Kennard United Methodist Church. Please come out for a delicious, hot breakfast and visit your neighbors.
Friday, March 7 is the World Day of Prayer. It is a global, nondenominational movement of Christian women joined together to observe a day of prayer.
Their motto is “ HYPERLINK "http://www.worlddayofprayer.net/aboutWDP.php" Informed Prayer & Prayerful Action” and shows that prayer and action are powerfully connected. World Day of Prayer involves Christian women in more than 170 countries and regions. - See Atlantic next page
