    First Baptist Owenton
    There was such joy in our worship service this past Sunday. We give thanks to God for the blessing of fellowship with the saints.
    Our pastor continued on the theme of family and preached on “Truths to Teach Every Toddler to Teen.” They must be taught respect for authority, elders, parents, property, children, nature and self. If parents are to claim the promise of Proverbs 22:6, they must carry out the responsibilities. Sunday evening our pastor preached on “Seeing the Unseen” from Hebrews 11:27.

    With a top of the line artificial heart valve, Larry Ayres continues to work on his apple orchid just as easily as someone who had never had a heart condition.
    Ayres owes much of that to organizations like God’s Special Little Hearts, Inc., which offers support to people born with heart defects and raises awareness in the public about what can be done to make life better for patients and their families.

  • Owen family takes pride in change to organ donation symbol

    For Paula and Sara Satterwhite, the new symbol on their driver’s license stands for something more than just being an organ donor – it’s an enduring symbol of a man they love.
    The symbol reads “Organ Donor” and is now being printed on the front of driver’s licenses in Kentucky, instead of the small sticker of the past.
    When Kentucky’s Circuit Court clerks rolled out the new symbol last week, Owen County Circuit Clerk Margaret Forsee made sure that the mother and daughter were the first to have it printed on their licenses.
