MM
first United Methodist Church Mews
By Judy Lunsford
Golden Age Nursing Home
will hold a huge Easter Egg
hunt on Good Friday
afternoon at 4:30 p.m. This
is for little children and is
fun to watch. They can
usually use some volunteers
for this project, so give
them a calE
Sunday is Easter and all
the Christians of this earth
will be celebrating our
Lord’s resurrection from
the tomb! From Jerusalem
to Dublin, TX let us sing,
pray and shout halleluiah.
The Dublin Ministerial
Alliance is gathering for a
Sunrise Service at 7:15 a.m.
on Sunday in the First United
Methodist Church Prayer
Garden. This service is
meaningful as the sun rises
and the birds start to sing.
Come a little early to find a
seat and stay for breakfast
in the fellowship hall. The
Dublin First Baptist Church
Youth Director will bring
the sermon.
Our congregation will
have a second service at
11:00 a.m. inside the First
Methodist sanctuary.
We have many birthdays
in April to celebrate and a
lot of people to be thankful
for. We sang “Happy
Birthday” to all of them last
Sunday. Ricky Rowe had a
birthday on 4-2, Travis
Rasberry on 4-3, Dr. Harlan
Raley on 4-4, Michael Haley
on 4-8, and Adrian Salinas
on 4-12. Betty Lusk will
mark her big day on 4-20,
Laura Leatherwood 4-22,
Ray LaBaume 4-24, Annette
Cleveland 4-25, Lisa
Leatherwood 4-28, and
Kathy Logan on 4-30.
The church office will be
closed on Friday. 4-18.
The Women’s Group
enjoyed an evening at Kathy
Logan’s home on the 9th.
We had finger foods for
supper followed by some of
Kathy’s fantastic homemade
pies. We could choose
between Coconut Cream or
Chocolate Meringue pie.
Some of us chose a little
slice of both.
Our entertainment was a
DVD of a Christian
comedian. We laughed till
our sides ached and had a
good time.
David Cleveland, Ray
LaBaume, and Pastor Ken
Lunsford cleaned up the
Prayer Garden for Easter
Services.
They worked hard
clipping, raking, mowing
and hauling away. We
thank them very much.
Mary Haley reports the
Food Pantry has been busy
for several weeks. The
canned goods are holding
out well but the pantry
needs other supplies. Items
needed are dried beans &
peas, rice (boxed or bagged),
peanut butter, pasta and
crackers. Please donate to
the Food Pantry.
Eddie and Harlan Raley
report there was a fire in
the metro-plex at the
condominium where their
granddaughter lives. She is
alright and the fire did not
reach her home, but there is
damage to her condo.
Mike Haley announced
that the Dublin Goodfellows
have received monetary
help from The United Way
of Erath County. Mike was
thankful for this donation
because Dublin needs it.
We praised the Lord for His
mercy and love.
“A Salvation Army Parade”
was the title of Rev. Ken
Lunsford’s sermon.
Pastor Ken told a story
about a church in Chicago
where the worshipers wave
palm branches and another
group of worshipers play
musical instruments and
together they march around
the city block. They sing
and make music as they
march on the way into the
church. One year a young
man living across the street
opened his window and
shouted, “What’s all this
noise? You sound like the
Salvation Army. ” The pastor
responded loudly, “Son, we
are the salvation army.
Come on down and join
us!”
That first Palm Sunday
could be called a Salvation
Army parade with Jesus as
the Grand Marshall. But
Jesus knew His purpose was
not to be the city’s honoree.
He knew he had a different
calling. He came to serve,
He came in humility. He
rode on a donkey colt, a
symbol of meekness and
peace.
The king is coming, the
parade approaches and we
must decide. The choice is
ours to make. We can be
flag-waving Christians who
go home after the parade.
We can throw our offering
in the plate and feel good
about ourselves and let the
world move on. Or we can
follow Him completely and
stand with Him at the cross.
If we follow the parade we
must give Him our devotion,
we must march to His
destination. Jesus was on
His way to bring us new life
and salvation.
HONORED- 2011 Dublin High School graduate
Khristopher S. Jennings was awarded a $500 academic
scholarship from the Sheriff’s Association of Texas
(presented by Erath Chief Deputy Jason Upshaw). He is

spring of 2015. He works as a dispatcher for the Dublin
Police Department and plans to go to the Department of
Public Safety Trooper Academy. Jennings is the son of
Ralph and Peggy DeLaVergne. Photo contributed

HONORED-The de Boer family headed by Johan and Klazina were recently recognized as
a Member of Distinction by the Dairy Farmer of America cooperative for excelling in their
work at Fluit Dairy in Dublin.
Dublin dairy amily honored by DFA
The de Boer family owns
Fluit Dairy located in Dublin,
Texas, which has been
named a 2014 Member of
Distinction farm by their
milk marketing cooperative,
Dairy7 Farmers of America.
DFA’s Members of
Distinction program
recognizes members who
excel on their operations, in
their communities and in
the industry. Honorees
inspire others through their
actions, leadership and
involvement, and represent
the best of the dairy
industry.
DFA is comprised of nearly
15,000 farmer-owners
located on nearly 9,000
dairy farms across the
United States. Each year, one
notable member farm from
each of DFA’s seven Areas is
selected to receive this
honor. The de Boer family
represents the Cooperative’s
Southwest Area.
Johan and Klazina de Boer
came to the United States
from Holland in 1996 and
leased their first dairy in De
Leon, Texas. With no truck
or tractors, they did most of
the work by hand. In 1999,
the de Boers moved their
operation to Dublin and
today, they milk 1,300 cows
and farm 1,500 acres of
wheat, corn and sorghum.
The de Boers credit their
success to their commitment
to their cows, their land and
their employees. Johan also
works to cultivate
relationships with his
nutritionist, veterinarian
and employees.
“He loves calves and he’s
constantly working,” said

Mike McNally, the
veterinarian who works with
de Boer’s livestock. “That’s
one reason this thing runs
so smooth is because Johan
is here all the time. He’s got
a good crew so he can take a
few days off. His employees
know where he is all the
time, and that makes a big
difference.”
Johan learned early how
to meet the needs of the
cows.
“I grew up on my father’s
dairy, so I’ve worked with
cows since I was a little
boy,” Johan said. “I treat all
the cows myself with some
of my guys and I then tell
them what I think we should
do. I like to manage the
cows and breed them and
take care of the sick cows.”
