Knoxville — Congratulations to Ben Reichert, Madison Chrisman, and Gerritt Davis, members of the of the Knoxville HIgh School Chapter of the National Honor Society.
Chapter Sponsor Matt Heston told a crowd gathered at the Knoxville Performing Arts Center last night that this is the 84th year of the NHS being a part of Knoxville. Students are chosen for the society based upon scholarship, leadership, character and citizenship.
To be considered, a student must have a 3.25 cumulative grade point average. There were 58 students eligible at KHS based upon this statistic.
Students are then asked to write an essay and KHS faculty have input into the final selection of new members. Heston told the new members that this is a high honor, one that will open doors for them in the next few years.

FIESTA VBS
is going on
at FUMC
We will not be having VBS on Wednesday, July 24 due to RAGBRAI. VBS is starting each night at 5:30 with a meal served in West Fellowship Hall and will continue from 6:00 to 8:15 with Bible stories, games, and crafts. Please invite your kids, grandkids, neighbors and friends to come join this fun event where kids get to know Jesus. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC4nn-sKosHqxdY_xvCPxERgrX1hKGe4kAq3YZdDcH8VY0QVOyanHPG4JrZpFXjSNDFL2xaJxgyF_w2oErg9VXv5AKB_F1OacoGcp3c74m0B5aUX88RbDYV2wrJTtDGhsiUIZjU8ig8Yek/s200/2013+VBS+1st+Day+013.JPG)
The mission project for VBS this year is “Imagine No Malaria”. Kids will learn how malaria affects lives every day and how we can help prevent it from spreading. Every 30 seconds, an innocent child in Africa dies of malaria. A loving daughter, a future doctor, a beloved grandson, a best friend – malaria takes more than 1 million lives each year. Malaria is preventable, treatable, and beatable. Making a gift of just $10 will buy a net to protect an entire family in Africa with 100% of contributions to this ministry going to the fight against malaria. If you would like to donate please indicate “imagine no malaria” in the memo of your check or on a love envelope.
o Sunday – "Jesus is our friend!" Come as you are to the FIESTA -

We have a new Eagle Scout
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimsfVLNjIN4XnnB27mUaBqhBirDrVIc5TU_C_28a0vZx3YJsB44A9QycykZCv0PDPXnJdb03KeAvnHr59jF0MMrX3dLbNnpmNyTQFKUhY7AnhPOg5MjXo_v6H0B6xaiFVHxQL3i3fSr77X/s200/Alex.jpg)
Since its introduction in 1911, the Eagle Scout rank has been earned by more than two million young men. The title of Eagle Scout which Alex holds is held for life, thus giving rise to the phrase "Once an Eagle, always an Eagle."
Alex was required to earn at least 21 merit badges and demonstrating the Scout Spirit through the Boy Scout Oath and Law, service, and leadership. This included his extensive service project with designing, planning, organizing, leading, and managing the construction of a handcapped accessable fishing dock. Alex was presented with a medal and a badge that visibly recognizes his accomplishments in the Scouting program. He can continue to earn Eagle Palms, which are awarded for completing additional tenure, leadership, and merit badge requirements.
