Paper cranes of peace at First Baptist Church

Paper cranes of peace at First Baptist Church

Raising funds for the WFC/World Friendship Center, a peace organization in Hiroshima, Japan, is focus of a Peace & Joy art exhibit and concert at McMinnville’s First Baptist Church.

Some 1,000 colorful paper peace cranes – made by church members and others – are hanging from the church’s sanctuary ceiling. They will be hand-delivered by church member Malachi Nelson to the WFC’s Children’s Memorial.

Nelson will soon become WFC assistant director. He will serve for two years. JoAnn Sims, church member and event chair, and her husband, Larry Sims, are former WFC directors.

JoAnn Sims said the Peace & Joy events are reflective of the 20^th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the U.S. east coast and “because little acts can add up to make a big difference.”

The Peace & Joy art exhibit will be held 1-5 p.m., Thur. Oct. 14 through Sun., Oct 17, in the church’s chapel Room.

Sanctuary of the church, 125 S. E. Cowls St., will be site of the Peace & Joy concert featuring singer/songwriter Michael Stern. The concert will take place 7-9 p.m. Sat., Oct. 16.

Guitarist/singer Stern, Seattle, incorporates lyrical themes of “peace, diversity and spirituality” in his presentations, said Sims.

Joining Stern will be banjo player/vocalist William Jolliff, Newberg. He mixes his presentations with songs and commentary.

Their music will lighten our spirits (and) inspire us to be peace-makers,” said JoAnn Sims.

During the concert, a free will offering will be taken. Funds will be given to the WFC, one of the church’s international missions.

Hi Everyone,

Some months ago I decided to put a small building in my back yard/patio.  It is finally complete and ready for delivery.  The company who built this “she shed” is delivering it on Friday, July 2nd.  A semi and a crane will be in the XXX area for a while that morning.  They expect to arrive about 10 AM with the “drop” to my back yard about 11:30. I don’t have any idea about how much XXX  space  they will be needing and using.  They have been here a couple of times so know that there drive ways and people come and go…..but I am just trying to do a “heads up.”  Maybe, xxx” folks know they will have to go somewhere; they might park a little down the street, just to be safe.  The big vehicles (crane and semi) shouldn’t be here much past the “drop” time while the rest of the folks from the company stay and complete work in my back yard.  

I thought about selling tickets….. (What a money maker, huh?)…..but, of course, if this kind of thing is fascinating to you, find a spot on the sidewalk and watch the action!

Thanks for your patience.
