The rain couldn’t keep us from worshipping at New Monmouth Presbyterian Church on Sunday. We were thankful for skies that cleared just in time for outdoor/parking lot worship at 11 a.m. Worship will be at the same place, same time next Sunday. Service will be streamed if possible or recorded and uploaded for online viewing later in the day. Thank you all for keeping each other safe; it’s been so great for us to be able to worship together. Thank you to Ray and Joann Blouin for providing music on Sunday morning.

Area children headed over to the Glasgow Farmers Market Saturday for a trunk-or-treat event on Halloween day. Of course, with the pandemic, safety precautions were taken with members of the St. John’s Episcopal Church actually “handing out’ candy via a PCV pipe from the back of a pickup truck (as shown in above photo). Not only were there treats, slices of pizza were also given out by (in photo below) Council member Andi Bradley with help from Karen Flint. Town Sgt. Angel Poole stands close by.
