April is already here and the
year is flying by. Calculators
are clicking away as those tax
returns are being turned out.
Remember, take a break and
outside to enjoy this beau-
il spring.
Baseball is in full swing.
Kaleb Bell helped his team to
victory last week. Makenna
McAnear made a homerun
last week knocking the hide
off the ball and helping her
team to win eight to three.
Congratulations to all the
young as they keep spring
time alive with balls flying
and bats slugging away.
Track competitions are go-
ing strong. Joplin congratu-
lates Zack Montgomery as he

Many congratulations from
Joplin Community go to
John Worthington. Monday
night, the Jacksboro Ma-
sonic Lodge awarded John
the sixty-year membership
pin. John’s daughter Vickie
had the privilege of pinning
her father. John’s son Terry
enty-five year pin in the fu-
ture. Again, many congratu-
lations to this good man that
has meant so much to Jack
County.
The sermon at Joplin Bap-
tist Church Sunday was “Be
On the Right Side.” The text
was John 12:12-15; 19:13-
16. Two groups of people
are presented in these verses.
One group proclaims Jesus to
be the King and the Messiah.
The other group calls for the
crucifixion of Jesus. Which
side would you be on?
Remember to celebrate Eas-
ter Sunday with your family.
Please tell them about the
death, burial, and resurrec-
tion of Jesus. If you do not
tell them, they may never
know that the day is more
than bunnies and eggs.
Mark your calendars. The
next Fifth Sunday Singing
will be held at Joplin Baptist
Church beginning at 5 p.m.
April 29.
Refreshments will follow.
Please, come and bring a
friend.
