Christian Church
Howard Reiter gave the Communion Meditation at Sundays service on legal vs. right, referencing Acts 5:17-29. We must obey God rather than any human authority, because sometimes what is legal, isnt right in Gods eyes. Chase Riebel discussed Cost of Being a Disciple and where we put our hope. He referenced many Bible verses about how we should always put our hope in Jesus and the truth of Gods word. Congratulations to Chase Riebel on being elected in the new full-time pastor.

Crest schools
From the Desk of Travis Hermreck, Elementary Principal:
The inaugural high school softball and baseball seasons at Crest had more than 20 students. Every night brought a new historical event to the school, from Stratton McGhee collecting the first ever hit to Regan Godderz hitting the first home run in Crest softball.
These sports offer student-athletes another opportunity for growth and learning in a competitive environment, as well as provide entertainment for the community.
Home softball games were played in Kincaid, while home baseball games were in Colony. A lot of time, work, and money were put into the readying the fields for competition.
Many sacrificed much of their own time and resources: Travis Church, Tony Barron, Karla Boots and Pair of Boots Trucking, Richard Church, Seth and Angie Black, Jay Bowen, Tim Dietrich, Paul Stephens, Brant Mc-Ghee, Rick Nelson and Nelson Excavating, Roy Whitcomb, Mike Davis, Bill Johnston, the Kincaid Lions Club, Kevin and Kacie Nilges, Blake Boone, Pat Golden and Dexter Wiley.
