Cherokee Chatter
By Becky Wilcox - Cockrum
Folks in the Cherokee area continue to be blessed with some rain and the Cherokee area is lush and green again.
EXCITEMENT! This word only begins to describe last Sunday evening's service at Cherokee Baptist Church!
Returning from a week-long camp in the mountains of Glorieta, New Mexico, a group of 35 youth and sponsors led FBC's congregation through a "typical day" of Centrifuge Camp. From creative worship to group trust games that developed close relationships to using sign language in worship, the youth group creatively shared what God had been doing in their lives.
The evening's excitement concluded with the group's splashy blacklight puppet presentation, "Power of God" which they had performed at the Variety Show that week at Glorieta. Our community eagerly awaits the far-reaching effect this trip will have in the lives of these young people as well as the life of the whole church!
Burnam Sloan and Baylor Jordan have been attending the summer rodeos together. They have attended the 4-H Playdays held in San Saba. They have also attended the Goldthwaite FFA Rodeo. Baylor won 2nd place in the calf riding division and unfortunately Burnam was bucked off. This past weekend, they attended the Star FFA Rodeo. On Friday, Baylor was the only one to cover his calf and won 1st place. Burnam won 1st in the calf roping. On Saturday, Burnam missed his calf but won 1st place in the calf riding. Baylor also rode his calf and won 4th place. Baylor also participated in the barrels and poles. There are several rodeos coming up and we want to wish them good luck.
