Painting was a must. Wood damage found must be repaired.

Hebron's facelift was begun in 2011.  Here's a look at the progress that has been made.

Next tasks: clean and paint steps, add bulletin board to entry

One bush was taken out and smaller bushes were added for a more balanced look.

Work continues.....

Thoughts from our Travels to Ireland

ruins of the castle at the Rock of Cashel--Cashel, Ireland

Sightseeing can really bring scriptures to life.  Here's some examples of how our reading through the bible in a year matched up with our trip to Ireland!  Praise God for His timing!

July 18--Isaiah 17: 1 and 2--"Look, Damascus is gone!  It is no longer a city--it has become a heap of ruins! The cities of Aroer are deserted..."

Field Trip to Atlanta Aquarium

The pictures tell it all!  Young and old had a great time at Atlanta's Aquarium!

Easter Egg Hunt

Young and old enjoyed hiding and finding eggs as a reminder of the blessings you find when you search for the Lord's will and blessings!

We are reminded that the egg may look dead but inside their is life, just like Christ's body on the cross and the tomb that was found open with nothing inside because the life inside had arisen!

enjoy more pictures of our fun day....

A Look Back--Civil War Anniversary Recognition

A celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War was held at Hebron Presbyterian Historical Church and Cemetery on April 21, 2012, where over 20 veterans of the war are buried.  Included in the celebration were re-enactments, memorials, a 21-gun salute, and bluegrass music. It was a beautiful day for recognizing an important part of the history of this community.

A Race in the Snow

Three brothers were racing to their father through the snow.  The winner would not just be the quickest, but also the one with the straightest path.  The boys took off at his shout, "GO!"

The first boy was sure to win.  He was the oldest with the longest legs!  And to be sure he was going straight, he made sure to look back--first to the right, then to the left.  If he got off course, he corrected it quickly!

The second boy knew he had a chance to beat his older brother.  He noticed his brother looking back--first to one side and then to the other.  He noticed, too, that it was slowing him down!!  And it was making him have a zig-zagged path!!  So, he made sure to not look back very often and only look over his right shoulder!   He didn't realize that this was making him run in a slanted line!

The two older boys were concentrating so hard on each other and their own paths that they paid no notice to the youngest brother.  Now being the youngest--his mind was not on winning the race, but on having been included in the race at all!!  He happily raced with the big kids, running straight forward with his eyes on his father!!  Laughing and running and enjoying the look of pride and joy on his father's face!

What joy for the youngest when he realized that he had kept up nicely and the three boys reached their father at almost the exact same time!!! And then the father declared the winner!!! The one with the straightest path was the one who had kept his eyes on the goal and the face of the father and never looked back!!!

When Times Get Tough

forwarded from an e-mail--original author unknown
 
Malachi 3:3 says:

'He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.'

This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God ..

One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.

That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining Silver.

As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.

The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: ' He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.'

She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time.

The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.

The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, 'How do you know when the silver is fully refined?'

He smiled at her and answered, ' Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it.'

If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has his eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.

We have a phone

Well, the church has a phone!  We just got it last year!  Yep, we've stepped into this century!  Well, not really.  If you call it, you will only get a voicemail.  We will actually have to call you back because we do not have an actual phone!  In today's world, our cell phones are what we all use and we don't keep someone on staff to sit and answer a phone.  We mostly just needed a phone number to get us in the phone book and on GPS and mapquest and such.  But just like the boy in this story, if you call us, we will try to give you what you need. So, enjoy this story and call when you need us....we will get back to you!!

THE TELEPHONE ON THE WALL original author unknown

When I was a young boy, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood.  I remember the polished, old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiver hung on the side of the box. I was too little to reach the telephone, but used to listen with fascination when my mother talked to it.

Then I discovered that somewhere inside the wonderful device lived an amazing person. Her name was "Information Please" and there was nothing she did not know. Information Please could supply anyone's number and the correct time.

My personal experience with the genie-in-a-bottle came one day while my mother was visiting a neighbor. Amusing myself at the tool bench in the basement, I whacked my finger with a hammer, the pain was terrible, but there seemed no point in crying because there was no one home to give sympathy.

DID NOAH  FISH?

A Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you

think Noah did a lot of  fishing when he was on the Ark ?"   

"No," replied Johnny.  "How could he, with just two worms."

Can you match the disciples with their movie character counterpart?

Can you match the disciples with their movie character counterpart?
The youth at Hebron can after finishing their Sunday School series.  See how well you can do.....
