Attention All Cooks!! On September 24th Enon Baptist Church will be having the Second Annual Chili Cookoff/Fall Fest & Cake Walk. We are so excited to see all of the different types of chili there will be. Maybe they will ask me to be one of the lucky judges. (haha) Some of the BEST chili I have ever had, came from my Aunt Shirley Sharp, Mrs. Jean Jones, and Mrs. Joan Kennedy. Those ladies’ recipes are amazing.
On Sunday, September 11th please wear your Enon Baptist black t-shirts with the memorial for 9/11. If you do not have one, please wear patriotic colors. Blessing of Food will be September 17th. “Love on Bogalusa”, an evangelism blitz will be September 29th through October 1. September 10th will be the Children’s Banana Olympics. If you would like to order a shirt from the Enon Baptist Church Youth, money and order forms are due September 11th.
Condolences to the family of Ray Perry.
Happy birthday to Laurie Williams, Mark Taylor, Ryan Smith, Blake Warner, Robin Phares, and Jake Blackwell.
Happy Anniversary to Alan and Julie Williams.
I was a 3rd grade teacher in Bogalusa on 9/11/01. A coworker came to tell me something was going on and it was not good. At the end of the day as I watched the news, (I was glued to the TV) I was absolutely devastated. I was heartbroken for the friends and families of those who were lost. I could not bear to hear the sound of pass devices (a distress signal unit for firefighters) going off for another minute, because I knew what that meant. (Firefighters were down and more than likely would not get up) I am grateful I had the opportunity to visit the memorial when it was just that. I hope to one day visit and pay my respects at the new memorial.
Enon Elementary School had two winners at the state level for the 2021-2022 Young Authors Contest. Giuliana D’Luca-Carr was in Bridget Smith’s Kindergarten class last school year and placed 3rd for her nonfiction story “Beach Trip”. Tommy Nguyen was in Mrs. Charlene Williams’ 6th grade ELA class last year placed 2nd for his fiction story, “The Magic Eraser”. We had a great Open House this past week at school.
September is Library Card Sign-Up Month. A library card can take you far, so please go sign up with the ladies at the library. The after-school program read “The Smart Cookie” and decorated their own cookies recently.
I hope you all have a great week. If you have any information about upcoming events you would like me to share, email or message me. Thank you for your encouragement. I appreciate the kind words.
