SOT at Valley Baptist coming up

In 2009 Travis and Patty Arnold of Russellville, Ar received an email about an
atheist in Michigan who successfully got two small crosses removed from a town.
In protest,hundreds of people began to place crosses in their yards making their
opinions known. The Arnolds were so touched by the story that they made a small
cross, placed it in their yard and offered one to a neighbor. When the neighbor
accepted they made more and gave them away. The requests for crosses began
pouring in. the Arnolds have given away over 1000 crosses and their goal is to
have a cross in every yard in Russellville, Ar. and eventually a small cross,
the symbol of faith for all Christians in yards throughout the state of
Arkansas.

In mid December 2010, Saint Paul United Methodist Men decided to make crosses
and give them away to anyone who wants to display this silent symbol of
Christian faith in their yard. It is hoped that other churches throughout Searcy
will join in this endeavor so that the entire city and outlying area will be
covered with symbols of our faith.

Guys, we will have some of these crosses available when you leave the meeting
at Valley Baptist Church. As you go out the door guys will be there to give you
one. They are free for the taking we only ask that if you take one you put in
your yard. We give thanks to Saint Paul United Methodist Men for the crosses and
this wonderful opportunity to witness our love for our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. God Bless

Your Brother in Christ
