The Northern Neck/Middle Peninsula Concert Band Fes-tival opens Wedneday, March 6, at the Lancaster Middle

School Theater in Kilmarnock.Some 16 area high and middle school bands will partici-

pate, according to LHS band director Robbie Spiers. Perfor-mances will continue Thursday, March 7.

The annual event showcases many of the school band pro-grams, as they prepare to perform for a panel of four judges, who will evaluate, adjudicate, and rate each group on their performance.

“This is our SOL,” said Spiers. “We work all year to prepare for this event as it gives all of us an idea of where we stand musically. The judges are current or retired band directors who bring a wealth of knowledge to the event. Their comments help us all evaluate our programs, and improve them—based on their knowledge and suggestions.”

Each band prepares three selections to play on stage, from an approved list of concert literature. The pieces are graded by difficulty, from 1 (beginner) to 6 (college level). Following a stage performance, the band will move to another room to be judged on sight reading. Each group will be given a new piece that they and their director have never seen. After 7 minutes, they must perform it for the judge.

Once the process is complete, the bands and their directors receive a rating from the judges on their entire performance. Ratings are I (Superior “A”), II (Excellent “B”) or III (Good “C”).

“The bands do not compete against each other, they pre-pare and strive to get that rating of I, or Superior,” said Spiers. “The directors also will receive a professionally recorded CD of their performance, as well as recordings from each judge giving verbal comments to the kids/teachers during their per-formance.”

The festival is free and open to the public. Many of the

“How the Other Half Loves” will open at 8 p.m. March 8 at the Lancaster Playhouse in White Stone.

The Lancaster Players’ production, directed by Becky Nunn, will continue at 8 p.m. March 9, 15, 16, 22, and 23, and 3 p.m. March 24. The theater will open an hour prior to curtain time.

For reservations, call 35-3776, or visit lancaster-players.org. Groups of 15 or more receive a discount. March 8, 15 and 16 shows are sold out.

When audiences go to a play, they are often unaware of the number of people, the number of hours, and the amount of work done beforehand to mount the show, said Nunn. The actors and the director rehearse for six weeks to make sure that all lines, characterization, and block-ing are precise.

The set builders meet with the director and after the set has been designed, the crew begins the task of making a realistic backdrop for the actors.

The set for this production was designed by Nunn, director and vice president Ben Estes.

When construction begins, allowances must be made for sight lines, room backstage for prop tables, the proper placement of windows and doors, said Nunn. Next, the set is painted and dressed. This process takes several weeks of long hours.

From the time the show is cast, the producer is involved in a whirlwind of activity. Producer Sue Broadway has been scouring antique and consignment shops, local retailers, e-bay to gather all of the set pieces and

props necessary for this show set in the ‘70s, said Nunn. She covers chairs, paints furniture, and hangs pictures, mirrors, and sconces. Next comes the cos-tuming of the show—costumes are begged and bor-rowed from the actresses, the director, the crew, and the Lancaster Players’ wardrobe.

Meanwhile, the director has identified all the sound and light cues and sent them to lighting tech

Bob Walker and sound engineer Bruce Hamilton, she said. Walker hangs and positions lights to get just the effect the director desires while Hamilton hunts for and records all the sounds that will be needed for the production.

The Sunday before a show opens is the dreaded “Black Sunday” when rehearsal begins at two in the afternoon with a technical rehearsal, said Nunn. Each sound, light, and special effects cue is set up and performed over and over until it’s exactly right.

The light technician, the sound engineer, the stage manager, and the prop people are all in attendance to do their specific jobs. The actors and the crew then break for a potluck dinner and at 6 p.m., a full dress rehearsal with all costumes, make-up, light, and sound cues takes place, she said.

“How the Other Half Loves” is an extremely dif-ficult show, because the timing has to be absolutely precise, said Nunn.

“One slip up and the whole show will go south,” she said. “After all the hours of preparation and the hard work of upwards of one hundred people to mount this show, we’re going to make sure it’s a per-fect, fabulous production.”

Girl Scout Troop 663 will host a Girl Scout Cookie drive-thru booth from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, March 1, in the parking lot of the Dollar Tree in Kilmarnock.

James Kinnett of California, Md., is a self-taught artist who began sketch-ing and painting animals and birds near his home in Maryland at age 10. By the time he was in high school, he was accepting commissioned work. In his 20s, he entered the world of business and moved to Texas and Louisiana. Over 20 years later, knowing something was always missing from his life, he started painting again. He eventually returned to Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay. In 2002-03, he won the Maryland Duck Stamp contest. His work may be found in galleries in Maryland, Virginia and Delaware.

Donna Turgeon of Fairfax Station is an award-winning artist who also began her artistic endeavors as a child. After receiving a degree in fine arts, she went on to earn her doctorate. Tur-geon approaches her subjects as a pro-fessional scientist with over 30 years as an oceanographer, marine ecologist, biological illustrator, and author of 50 journal articles and books. She is now a full-time artist.

Janet Mandel of Kennedy, N.Y., is a nationally recognized artist who focuses on detailed animal and bird paintings. Her work has been sold by and featured by various wildlife orga-

nizations including the National Audu-bon Society, The Smithsonian Institu-tion, the National Geographic Society, and the National S.P.C.A.

New artists to exhibit at Waterfowl Show

bands enjoy an audience, and it enhances their overall perfor-mance.

“The community can come and go as they please, between groups,” he said. “We do ask that the public refrain from entering the auditorium while a group is performing. Mini-mal interruptions help the bands perform at their highest level.”

Spiers said he hopes the community will come support the arts in the schools, by hearing many of these groups.

“We appreciate the support of the arts that our community has, and hope to see a big audience,” he said.

Chef Adam Ginsberg received his culinary training at The California School for Culinary Arts, is the chef at Willaby’s in White Stone, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Gins-berg of Richmond.

Eva and Adam met two years ago when Adam was chef at a now defunct local restaurant. Their friendship bloomed, and their status on Facebook went from “single” to “in a relation-ship.”

That has changed. Febru-ary 15 was Eva’s birthday and Adam planned a surprise ... they would go to Staunton and the Blackfriars Playhouse, home to the American Shake-speare Center, one of Eva’s favorite theater venues, to see a Shakespeare-era play, “The Country Wife.”

At the conclusion of the Feb-ruary 16 performance, with

Whitney Gaskins and Alexis Wormley announce their engagement.

Miss Gaskins is a 2005 grad-uate of Northumberland High School. She is the daughter of Albert and Cherry Wildy of Reedville.

Mr. Wormley, a Newark, N.J. native, is a 1999 graduate of Lancaster High School and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. He is the son of Cleo Wormley of Irvington, N.J., and the late Mario Veney of Kilmarnock.

River Counties American Red Cross will host a blood drive from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 4, at Kilmarnock Baptist Church Fellowship Hall at 65 East Church Street in Kilmar-nock.

Severe winter weather across much of the country has forced the cancellation of nearly 80 American Red Cross blood drives in 12 states, resulting in a shortfall of more than 3,100 blood and platelet donations so far this week, said volunteer and service delivery coordinator Jane Bishop.

The cancellations come just weeks after a winter storm pounded the Northeast, result-ing in more than 7,100 canceled blood and platelet donations, said Bishop. Since the beginning of February, more than 10,200 total blood and platelet dona-tions have been canceled due to severe winter weather.

Please be sure to drink plenty of fluids, eat a good meal and bring a photo ID, added Bishop.

The public is invited to join the Women of Grace on Monday, March 4, for a special presentation, said public rela-tions chairman Mary Elsesser. The meeting will begin at 10 a.m. at Grace Episcopal House at 303 South Main Street in Kilmarnock.

Meet local resident and inter-nationally-renowned infectious disease expert and author, Dr. Richard P. Wenzel, said Els-esser.

In his thriller, Labyrinth of Terror, he takes readers on a riveting, winding journey through Europe and the Middle East, unravels the science of infections, and opens a reveal-ing window on the complex politics of medicine, added Elsesser.

Historyland Community Workshop will meet at 10 a.m. Monday, March 4, at the Lan-caster Woman’s Club in Lan-caster.

The meting will focus on distributing proceeds from the 2012 sale, said publicity chair-man Luci York. On the agenda will be setting up committees and discussing plans for a Spring Sale in April.

This is an opportunity to share ideas for new craft items and group projects, said York. Members are urged to attend and bring prospective new members who like hand crafts and are seeking an outlet for their skills.

Lancaster Community Library director Lindsy Gard-ner recently posted a calendar of special events for March. All programs are at the library at 235 School Street in Kilmar-nock.

The Sundays at Two series continues March 3 with actor Michael Kennedy and “On Spielberg’s Lincoln” and March 10 with marine veterinarian Dr. Robert George and “Aquarium veterinarian, Doctoring Sharks and All Fish.” The programs will begin at 2 p.m.

The LCL Book Discussion Group will meet March 18 to discuss a Hemingway novel, biography, or movie of your choice.

Babygarten, a story and activity session for ages 6 months to 2 years, will be held from 10:30 to 11 a.m. March 4 and 11.

Storytime, a story and activ-ity session for preschoolers, will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. on Wednesdays. The theme for March 6 is “It’s Lost,” March 13, “I Can Share,” and March 20, “Temper Tantrum.”

The library is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fri-days; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Satur-days; and other times for spe-cial programming.

ENGAGEMENTS

Eva and Adam in the audience, the play’s stage manager came to the edge of the stage to make a few announcements, that con-cluded by calling Adam up to the stage. He went up the steps to stand before an intrigued audience. Eva, watching this unfold could only think, “Oh no, please don’t announce my birthday.”

Then madam stage manager called Eva front and center. As Eva arrived on stage, Adam turned to her, dropped to one knee...and proposed. The audience was delighted, and the applause was happy, wild and loud, as Eva, in what she described as a state of shock, accepted.

Their Facebook status has again changed, this time to “engaged.”

Abel-Ginsberg

Gaskins-Wormley

The couple met in 2004 through mutual friends. A May 2013 wedding is planned.

A reception will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. March 10 at the Nor-thumberland Public Library in Heathsville. The reception will cel-ebrate the return of the Friends of the Northumberland Library.

The theme is Friends Alive!, a reference to two popular Friends programs, Books Alive! and Songs Alive! when the organization was active over two years ago, said vice president Jay Walker.

Northumberland author John Frye will represent Books Alive! Frye previously reviewed two of his Civil War historical novels and has recently published a third, said Walker. Other local Books Alive! authors are expected to attend.

Guitarist Roger Himler, representing Songs Alive!, will per-form during the reception, he said. Himler has played for previous Friends events and triggered the idea of having Songs Alive! pro-grams, including Jazz at the Library with Anthony Dowd in 2010.

A highlight at the event will be a raffle of a framed graphic art print by Heathsville artist Bev Sabelhaus. The picture depicts a live orchard looking at a larger orchid in a stained glass pane. It’s titled “Paned Expression.”

“Bev’s pictures not only incorporate ingenious use of computer-based images, but have clever titles that you have to think about,” said board member Earline Walker, who organized the reception. “Bev never misses a chance to use a pun.”

Walker added that another feature recalling Friends events will be good, homemade food and beverages served in style. Admis-sion is free. Raffle tickets will be $1 each or six for $5 and the drawing will be held at about 4:30 p.m.

The Rappahannock Con-cert Association will present Trio con Brio Copenhagen at 7:30 p.m. March 11 at the Northumberland High School Auditorium in Claraville.

The Trio’s program for the March 11 concert includes two selections written for and ded-icated to Trio con Brio Copen-hagen—”Phantasmagoria” by Bent Sorenson and “Trio Breve” by Per Norgard. Piano trios by Maurice Ravel and Felix Mendelssohn will com-plete the program, said board member Phyllis Neal.

Tickets are $25 each, blocks of five to nine tickets are $20 each and blocks of 10 or more are $15 each. For ticket infor-mation, call 472-3396 or 580-4541.

The Trio gained interna-tional attention in 2002 with a performance that won the highest prize at Germany’s ARD-Munich competition. Trio con Brio Copenhagen members are pianist Jens Elvekjaer, violinist Soo-Jin Hong and cellist Soo-Kyung Hong. Soo-Kyung is married to Elvekjaer and is at home

awaiting the birth of their first child. Mathias Beyer-Karlshoj is substituting for her on this tour.

Jens Elvekjaer was born in Copenhagen. He is Den-mark’s first and only Stein-way Artist.

Soo-Jin Hong was born in Seoul, South Korea, and started to play the violin at age 5. She plays a violin built by Andrea Guarneri from the 17th century.

Mathias Beyer-Karlshoj was born in Germany and

has lived in Copenhagen for 20 years. He was a founding member of the Johannes Kre-isler Trio in 2004. Since 1994 he has been the cellist of the Henschel Quartett.

The annual Knights of Colum-bus St. Patrick’s dinner/dance will be held from 6 to 11:30 p.m. March 16 at the Hartfield Volun-teer Fire Department Hall at 3309 Twiggs Ferry Road in Hartfield.

Tickets are $30 per person, which includes a wine and cheese happy hour, dinner and dancing to the Phun Doctors. There will be a cash bar. For reservations, call 776-0078, or 776-7427.

The Computer Genealogy Group will meet at 1 p.m. March 14 at Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury near Irvington. The group will continue to organize its upcoming initiative to become more familiar with family history software. For more information, contact Ann Thompson at 580-810, or [email protected]

The Women of Good Shep-herd will host a St. Patrick’s Day dinner from 5 to 8 p.m. March 15 at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church at 1717 Hampton Hall Road near Callao.

The ladies are asking for a donation of $12.50 per person. For advance tickets, call Susan Hall at 540-424-3091. Pro-ceeds benefit scholarships.

FLEETON—James Calvin “Cal” Boyd, 78, father, mentor, coach and teacher, died Febru-ary 20, 2013, following a brief illness.

During a tenure at St. Chris-topher’s School that spanned four decades, Mr. Boyd is remembered as a role model for his commitment to students in the classroom and in athlet-ics. Always modest, he led his beloved track teams to over 1,000 victories with unwaver-ing integrity and self-effacing strength. As a math teacher, he was truly able to bring out the best in every student.

He grew up in Oak Park, Ill., the son of Dr. John Rich-ard Boyd and Kathryn Calvin McCandless Boyd. He gradu-ated from Indiana University where he was a world-class high jumper, winning the Penn Relays.

He married Janet Cowling Kuyk shortly after graduate school and moved to Rich-mond after teaching in Indiana for two years. A “naturalized” Virginian, he sometimes won-dered why anyone would live anywhere else. He loved the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Rappahannock River and the Chesapeake Bay.

After retiring from St. Chris-topher’s, Cal and Jan moved to Fleeton on the Chesapeake Bay. He was active with the Reed-ville Fishermen’s Museum, St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, and a number of choral groups. Music was a great love, and he spent as much time as possible singing in quartets and choirs.

He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Jan; his sister, Eliza-beth Taylor (Tom); his brother, Ken Boyd (Jeanne); his son, John (Amy); his daughter, Margaret Boyd McKeever (Glenn); and four grandsons, James Boyd, William Boyd, Charles McKeever and Patrick McKeever.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. March 9 at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Fleeton Road, Reedville. A second memorial service will be held in the chapel at St. Christopher’s School at 2 p.m. April 21.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 278, Reedville, VA 22539, Reedville Fishermen’s Museum, P.O. Box 306, Reed-ville, VA 22539, or St. Chris-topher’s School, 711 St. Chris-topher’s Road, Richmond, VA 23226.

RALEIGH, N.C.— Dr. Ray-mond B. Bridgers Jr., died Thursday, February 21, 2013, in Raleigh, N.C., of cancer.

Dr. Bridgers was born May 13, 1929, in Norfolk. He grad-uated from Riverside Military Academy. He received bache-lor’s and master’s degrees from the College of William and Mary, and a doctorate in edu-cation from Duke University.

He taught ninth-grade and was principal at an elemen-tary school in Henrico County. He taught at SUNY Oswego in Oswego, N.Y., for 35 years until he retired to Mollusk.

He was active in creative

endeavors. He developed two courses at Oswego: “Teaching Culturally Different Children” and “Play and Playfulness.”

He and his wife were active at Bethel UMC in Lively. He designed stained glass win-dows of the life of Christ for Bethel. He loved spending time with family and friends.

He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Carolyn S.; his sister, Elma B. White in Smithfield; six children, A. Cynthia Weber of Northampton, Pa., Michael A. Bridgers of Raleigh, N.C., Raymond Bradley Bridgers III of Manlius, N.Y., Katherine B. Rudd of Noblesville, Ind., Holly J. Baker of Oswego, and Lori A. Bridgers of Hamilton, Ohio; 12 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 2, at Bethel United Methodist Church in Lively.

In lieu of flowers, dona-tions can be made to: Bethel-Emmanuel United Methodist Men, P.O. Box 118, Lively, VA 22507.

WEEMS—Dr. Richard Hig-gins, 95, died peacefully in his home, surrounded by his family on February 21, 2013.

He is survived by his wife, June; his children, Rick, Glenn, Sue Ann and Wendy; his stepdaughters, Suzanne Sylvestro and Sallie Dashiell; his grandchildren, Sarah and Lillie Richard, Julian Sylvestro and Carly Blatt; and his sons-in-law, Tony Sylvestro and Michael Monroney.

Dick was born in 1918 in Pasadena, Calif. He was the son of a marine biologist, who gave him a love and curiosity for nature. He lived an idyl-lic young life in Buford, N.C., and Woods Hole, Mass., with all that life on the water had to offer.

Later, his family moved to Washington, D.C. He went on to attend Michigan, Northwestern and Georgetown universities. He graduated with a degree in dentistry. While serving in the Navy as a dentist during World War II, he met his first wife, K. Emilie Scoboria, the mother of his four biological children.

Dick had a dental practice for 43 years in Chevy Chase, Md., and was a member of the Washington Dental Society. A man of many interests, he actively enjoyed sailing, golf-ing, flying, singing barbershop, gardening and painting. In his retirement, he lived again on the water in Weems with June. He particularly enjoyed water-color painting, gardening and the many friends he and his wife hosted in their home.

Services were held February 25 at Historic Christ Church in Weems. The family received friends at the Rappahannock Art League Gallery in Kilmar-nock, for a celebratory recep-tion, immediately following the service.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Rappahannock Art League, 19 North Main Street, Kilmarnock, VA. or to Historic Christ Church, P.O. Box 24, Irvington, VA 22480.

Rev. John Farmer is the pastor at Irvington Baptist Church.

Miss Hazel and I have just returned from the most reward-ing westward sojourn. We took off last Thursday afternoon

for the hills of east Tennessee. We had two irons in the fire, so to speak.

The long drive is too much for this old preacher, thus we took lodging and table that evening in Waynesboro to recover and pre-pare for a busy weekend ahead.

Friday our trip continued to round-one opportunity: a stop in a Cracker Barrel in east Knoxville where we had a family dinner with our daughter, Mary Ellen, and her three: Alicia, Noah and Isaiah. It was a tasty and warm reunion. It was a grand time to inventory our mutual histories, and wonderfully so, in a face-to-face, knife and fork setting.

Whilst we were working our way west, two other groups departed the Northern Neck for Gatlinburg. Daughter Jennifer and our tour director John Lawrence (fresh from the kitchen at the Tides) wound their way west with our great-granddaughter, Elizabeth. Another van pulled from Weems carrying Aunt Susan Abbott, daughter Kristy, hubby Scott and Master Alex-ander Logan Higgins.

Similarly destined, our son Robert, wife Sarah Beth, and sons Porter and Nolan Pittman all strapped in to safely deliver themselves to Gatlinburg.

Somewhere out on the high-way Shelby’s dad, David, bore west as well.

Dinner, kisses, hugs and pictures accomplished with Mary Ellen and her brood, we took out for our nest at the Mountain Loft, high above US 321, Gatlinburg.

So there you have it; our trips all began at home and wound their various ways to Tennessee, all on a differing journey, differ-ing times, for a singular purpose. Destiny.

Round two: we rallied to celebrate the wedding of our grand-daughter, Shelby Ellen Coontz and her Mr. David Lee Malone, whom I proudly nicknamed “Poor David.”

Far from “poor” indeed, we all fell instantly in love with our new grandson. It was a joy to meet his family, too recently struck breathless by the death of another son. The wedding ceremony was in Jonesborough, Tenn., a picturesque 18th-century town nestled in the Appalachian Mountains of northeast Tennes-see. “As you walk along Jonesborough’s well preserved Main Street, you easily drop back in time to the days of Daniel Boone, Andrew Jackson, David Crockett, John Sevier and the many other historic figures that lived in or around Jonesborough.”

We took in info about the “State of Franklin, the first attempt of statehood after the American Revolution; and the Emancipa-tor, the first publication in our country solely supporting the abolition of slavery.” What an educational treat to which we had been invited.

Never have I seen a lovelier bride, nor such a handsome groom. Which, by the way, I might proclaim at every wedding. There is such beauty in the establishment of a new family in God’s grand creation.

I was proud to include son Rob in the service as reader for the Apostle Paul’s beautiful First Corinthian treatise on love (“and the greatest of these is love”). Rob’s a strapping lad, handsome dad, possessing a mellifluous baritone voice. It was especially moving, since our Shelby has been so in love with her uncle Rob since first she joined the family in the late 1990s.

Ah yes, family. I collected us in worship by welcoming “all our in-laws, out-laws, and ex-laws,” for we, like many other contemporary clans, sat or stood newly uniting by one common thread—a wedding, the joining together of persons formerly for-eign one to another, now united. We sat there because David and Shelby had been born new in our hearts. Audience and partici-pants — bride, groom, groom’s nephew ring bearer, bridesmaids, and groomsmen — all watching our little Miss Elizabeth, who

carefully dropped rose petals meticulously ahead of her aunt bride. She did so with such con-servative detail as to have us all counting the petals as they fell tenderly for her Aunt Shelby.

Seated about were family members new and old. We knew the bride’s family and were delighted to meet David’s clan, along with their gathered friends.

We did the ceremony legal but in some ways Holy, creating a new family, our Malones.

Food delicious, cake sumptuous, setting delightful, and in less than an hour all set out toward our respective abodes. David and Shelby off to a short honeymoon, the rest dissipated out into the hills east and west from wince we came.

My prayer, along with all the preparations prior, opportunities present and future, held me close to our Lord as I dreamed, and hoped that this was truly a covenant invested in and pledged to “till death do us part.”

Because our blended family was so ripe with potential, I asked everyone to pray with me a prayer of promise, that all our varied histories spent, we would now value our lives and commitments until our God called us home.

God took us to the Wedding Loft, Jonesborough; in that fer-tile setting married us all, each to the other in bonds of LOVE. Strangers once, family dear, it was such a blessing to know that God had reigned divine enough to give the Malones their start and all we, a fresh beginning. Wow! New life in Christ, offered amongst a family celebration.

To God be the Glory, great things He hath done!

Reflectionsby Rev. John Farmer

employment to help support her family. She worked for many years at Mather Federal Credit Union as a loan officer. She became the sole proprietor of Kandi’s Crafts where she and Chuck sold jewelry that they created from gemstones they found through their many travels rock hounding. June brainstormed and started J&C Stuffing where she and Chuck purchased several stuffing machines which could more efficiently stuff other crafters’ creations.

As an accomplished seam-stress and crafter, she traveled extensively to trade shows across the U.S. selling beauti-ful wholesale crafts which she personally created and deco-rated. At one point her prod-ucts were sold at Disney World,

Florida. She also loved to knit, crochet and embroider in her spare time.

Sincere gratitude and appre-ciation are extended to the staff of Commonwealth Assisted Living in Kilmarnock, Stay at Home Personal Care in Kil-marnock, and Hospice of Vir-ginia, who lovingly cared for and gave purpose to June’s life over the past 18 months.

Family, friends and staff members are invited to a cel-ebration of June’s life at 2 p.m. March 8 at Commonwealth Assisted Living in Kilmarnock. Burial at Arlington National Cemetery will be in the spring.

Memorial contributions can be made in her name to Hos-pice of Virginia, P.O. Box 2098, Tappahannock, VA 22560.

“It is my privilege to extend a friendly welcome to our grand opening service on March 3, 2013,” said the Rev. Creed. “We believe God has very special things in store for Bayshore Baptist Church.”

I collected us in worship by welcoming “all our in-laws, out-laws, and ex-laws,” for we, like many other contemporary clans, sat or stood newly uniting by one common thread—a wed-ding, the joining together of persons formerly foreign one to another, now united.

Re-Creation USA will perform at 7 p.m. March 9 at Coan Baptist Church in Heathsville and at the 11 a.m. worship service March 10 at Irvington Baptist Church (IBC) in Irvington.

Re-Creation, a group of dynamic young people who present both religious and patri-otic music, appear in churches of all denominations, VA Medical Centers, schools, nursing homes, civic and fraternal organizations, fairs and festivals, nationwide, said IBC youth director Hazel Farmer. They perform some 300 concerts annually.

Re-Creation was founded in 1976 and its popularity continues to grow each year, said Farmer. The musicians are not paid for their service. They give up at least a year of their lives to travel the country. The group typically consists of eight singers and one or two technicians.

The public is invited to attend the concerts. There is no admis-sion charge but a free-will offer-ing will be received. For more information, contact pastor Lee Farmer at Coan Baptist or pastor John Farmer at Irvington Bap-tist.

CHURCH NOTES

On February 24, Interna-tional Cooperating Minis-tries representative and Part-ner Review director in Africa Andy Scott spoke at Kilmar-nock Baptist Church.

Folks were first inspired and then excited, reported Denise DeVries.

Based in Hampton, ICM is a quiet, little-known ministry reaching thousands of people worldwide for Christ, said DeVries. They work with in-country partners to sup-port and encourage construc-tion of new churches. Each church agrees to plant f ive daughter churches.

With exponential growth from a single church, a nation can be changed, said DeVries. This is the pur-pose of ICM—to see lives restored to Christ, communi-ties transformed by his pres-ence, and nations changed by the impact of his church. ICM also helps nurture and

ground new Christians in their faith with powerful Bible teaching materials in multiple languages.

“It was a joy to hear about how God is working through ICM,” said pastor Matthew Tennant.
