The Building Fund Begins
Members of the First United Methodist Church of Sulphur Springs presented a check to Senior Citizens Center Director Karon Weatherman. Members of FUMC gave what they could during a 5 month campaign in 2016. The funds were kept separate from other church offerings. “This was over and above our regular giving to the church,” said Campbell. The congregation voted to divide the donations 3 ways, and give to 3 separate needs...

Phoney Check Scam Making the Rounds
The images shown were taken of a letter sent to a Hopkins County Senior Citizen. The bogus check had her name and current address on it. Spread the word and help people avoid these scam artists. This type of scam is common. A bogus check is sent to unsuspecting people. They attempt to deposit the check and meanwhile send real money back to the thieves via wire transfer. The bait is the promise of a huge cash winning. That payout...
Bingo at the Senior Citizens Center; Fierce Competition
Bingo at the Senior Citizens Center can be fierce. Those who might think this is a casual game, or just something to pass the time would be sorely mistaken.

Young at Heart; First United Methodist Church
I recommend the Hungarian Goulash. Young at Heart meets on the third Monday of each month, rain or shine, holiday or not. A pot-luck lunch of dishes you can not get at a restaurant and fellowship is offered. Did I mention the Hungarian Goulash? If you’re a grandma, a grandpa, or just miss your grandma’s cooking, join them each month at the First United Methodist Church. All denominations welcomed, even Baptists like me...

Senior Bridge
Bridge players at the Sulphur Springs Senior Center are always looking for new teams to join in the fun. Currently a “substitute” from Winnsboro drives each week to complete a team. The group is missing a 98 year-old player due to medical issues. Men are welcome to join, but historically Men lack the commitment required to keep harmony among the other players. Assemble a team of 4 or just watch each Thursday at 12:30...
The Wannabees!
KSST stopped by the League Street Church Of Christ and met with the Wannabees this morning. The Wannabees are a group of ladies that come twice a month from and work on their individual projects. They are there the first Thursday and the third Tuesday of each month. The ladies of the Wannabees explained to KSST that they work on their own personal projects, they might get a big project from the Quilt Guild and work on it all together...
