Crusade Sunday in Columbia, KY - A family affair 2014-06-01 - Burkesville & Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Rita Bragg, left, - and from left counterclockwise, son Grayson Bragg, and husband Chris Bragg, along with Trent Sparks, were at the Burkesville entrance to the Public Square this morning, taking part in one what is usually one of the biggest days of the Crusde for Children. Checks and cash donated today, combined with the Crusade Sunday at Adair County Churches provide a huge boost, and Downtown Churches - there are eight of them - are a big factor. Within a two blocks one church - known for its community involvement - over raises $3,500 or more. This year, the crusade is dedicated to the memory of Cody Pelly. The collection points on the square will continue until at least 12pm noon CT, today. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

It's Crusade for Children Sunday in Adair Co., KY 2014-06-01 - Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Brandon Lewis,, left and Billy Hadley are at the Greensburg Street entrance to the Public Square in Columbia this morning, accepting donations for the 2014 Crusade for Children. This Sunday, the churches of Adair County are receiving gifts, as well. Lewis said that he expects this to be another year of increased donations, buoyed by candidate participation and by the fact that this year the Crusade honors the memory of an all-time favorite Adair Countian, Cody Pelly. The Columbia/Adair County Fire Department appreciates every gift, from coins to $1 bills, and all the checks. Quite often, they said, checks are written out for as much as $100, $500, even $1,000 and are dropped in the collection buckets on Sunday morning. They're hoping, on this beautiful June 1, 2014 day that a number of folks will be heroes and make this tribute to Cody a truly memorable one. The collection continues Downtown at least through noon today. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Beautiful Church Art at Centenary United Methodist Church 2014-06-01 - 429 Main St, Shelbyville, KY 40065 - Photo By Linda Waggener, CM Photo. Every time we visit this church we are a bit awed by the exquisite art in the sanctuary. If not a word were spoken, if not a hymn were sung, the beauty of the interior is a fulfilling experience in itself; it was for us, even if we were not there for a church service, but to our Evan's progress. We thought it a fitting photo for this beautiful June Sunday morning in Columbia, KY. Where we also celebrate the vibrant life of Downtown churches - the eight congregations which are thriving here, offering not only spiritual comfort, but architectural splendor to the streetscape, as well.
