Our guest this month is Gerri Smith. She comes to us from Michigan City, where she has lived most of her life. Gerri is married to Phillip and they have two children and four grandchildren. In 1973, God began preparing Gerri for ministry through their opening of a Christian Bookstore in Michigan City. This opened doors for her to begin to speak in churches. She began in chalk-art. After becoming allergic to the chalk dust she began telling stories. Gerri has spoken in five states, going from small groups to state conventions. As you listen to Gerri tell her story, you will find yourself feeling like you are a part of the scene. Come expecting to be blessed as you share in the emotional day to day experiences of a woman from the past as Gerri relates her story. Bring your mother, sister, daughter, daughter-in law with you to fellowship with joy and gladness before the Lord!

Summer Recreation In Walkerton The fun and games are coming to Walkerton. The Park and Recreation Department will be providing a summer recreation program for boys and girls, ages six to 11, starting on June 15 and will end around the middle of August. Here are just a few of the activities planned for the summer: arts and crafts, story hour, recycling program, scavenger hunt/treasure hunt, croquet, frisbee golf/baseball, kickball and capture the flag. Some of the special events include tug of war over mudhole, obstacle course, family cookout, balloon toss/egg toss, pet day, coloring contests, relay races, nature day, field day and bike race. These programs will be geared towards both age groups. There will be a small fee for those interested. SIO.OO will allow the child to participate in all daily activities (except for some special events that may be charged) and will be used as a summer pass. $2.00 will allow the child to participate in activities for one week. However, arrangements will be made for those who are unable to pay the amount needed. We do not want to discourage anyone from participating. The recreation director for the program is Dawn Rhodes who has been a resident of Walkerton for 22 years. She is a senior at Indiana Wesleyan University and is a recreation management major. She has been active in sports and assisted Randy Schmeltz with the recreation program in the early 1980’s. Watch for more details on the upcoming recreation program in “The Independent-News’’.
