St. Barnabas Church To Be A Full Parish, Father Keppler It’s First Rector

On Trinity IV Sunday, July 13, the Most Rev. Ray R. Sutton, Bishop of the Reformed Episcopal Diocese of Mid America, Presiding Bishop of REC, and Dean of Ecumenical Affairs of the greater Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), made a multipurpose visitation to St Barnabas’s Anglican Church, Bellville. His Grace sees to it that he or one of his Bishops Suffragan visits every parish, mission, and potential mission of this large RE diocese at least once a year, even if there are no confirmations to be celebrated. On this occasion, he not only confirmed four and received one from another church (in which she had been confirmed by a Bishop), but he also gave a dedicatory blessing for the new (unfinished) parish hall, and at the time of announcements in the main service led a special service for blessing Fr Mike Keppler in his service as a presbyter (priest) on the 22nd anniversary of his ordination to the Anglican priesthood.

A Trip to the La Grange Farmers’ Market

A visit to the La Grange Farmers’Market Saturday on the courthouse square found 13 vendors selling everything from pickled beets to homemade dog treats. The market is open every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. One vendor told us that the week before there was a whopping 24 vendors, but several had gone to Columbus this past Saturday for a special event there. It’s a good idea to bring cash, but several vendors are also set up to take electronic payments. Photos by Jeff Wick
