Originally Pastor of Mitchell Chapel Church of God in Christ in Sulphur Springs, Texas, Bishop Gatlin now oversees 47 congregations in a jurisdiction with boundaries from Dallas to Texarkana, and Longview to Paris.

Requirements are that you be a resident of Sulphur Springs, and provide a utility bill or other proof of residence. Persons can sign up and show prof starting at 7:30am on December 8 at Mitchell Chapel Church of God in Christ, 404 South Jackson Street.

Bishop Gatlin states that hunger and need are issues that each of the churches in his jurisdiction are striving to address. The need is great, can you help with a donation of non-perishables or a monetary donation? If so, please give to a charity of choice during this season of giving.

Mohesky Makes Eagle Scout
SULPHURSPRINGS, TX — Grant Mohesky, of Sulphur Springs, has earned the BoyScouts of America’s highest advancement award, the Eagle Scout Award.
Mohesky was recognized in a formal Court of Honor Ceremony on November 17,2018. Tom Sellers, served as Master of Ceremonies and presented Grant with his Eagle Scout Charge.
A member of Circle Ten Council, Troop 69, Mohesky is one of only approximately 4 percent of all Boy Scouts who attain the Eagle rank, according to Scoutmaster Ron Flecker.
Each candidate must earn 21 merit badges and successfully complete a community, church, or synagogue-related service project to earn his Eagle; Mohesky chose to build and install a sign in front of the Sulphur Springs Animal Shelter on Highway 19. Grant strongly believes every animal deserves a loving family and hopes the sign helps the shelter increase their adoptions.
“The new sign has brought more attention to the shelter, increasing foot traffic and adoptions”, said Cathy Singleton, volunteer coordinator for the city shelter.
Although Mohesky only needed 21 merit badges to earn Eagle, he had actually earned 36 by his board of review in September. That total qualified him for a Bronze, Gold and Silver Eagle Palms. As rare as the Eagle Rank is, Eagle Palms are much more rare. Only one in ten of Eagle Scouts earn an Eagle Palm.
Senator Bob Hall sent congratulations and Eagle Scout Mohesky was presented with a flag. The flag had flown over the state capital in Austin on September 11, 2018.
Mohesky is a sophomore at Sulphur Springs High School and is a member of the varsity golf team. He is the son of Michael and Neva Mohesky.
Circle Ten Council, BSA, serves nearly 43,000 youth in 24 counties in the northeast Texas and southeast Oklahoma area through the dedicated service and leadership of nearly 20,000 adult volunteers. Scouting is completely funded by the generosity of our local communities.
The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation’s largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship and develops personal fitness.
For over a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes — and, through over a century of experience, knows — that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible and productive society.

Blue Santa Kicks Into High Gear for Christmas Giving! Here’s Your Chance to Help Mon. Dec. 3 and Tues. Dec. 4
Although activity has been brisk at the Blue Santa barrels around town, the next phase of the 2018 Blue Santa Toy Campaign is about to start for Hopkins County. And it’s a perfect chance for you and your family to get the personal one-on-one experience of giving to a needy local cause.
On the Lowe’s parking lot Monday December 3 and Tuesday December 4 from 7am til 7pm, Blue Santa volunteers and local law enforcement will create and monitor a drive-thru lane for persons wanting to donate new, unwrapped toys. During these two time frames, you can pull through the drive-up area and hand off toys to be distributed to local children whose qualifying families have registered for assistance. Toys, dolls, trucks, books and all kinds of items for babies and young children are needed. For teens up to age 16, personal care items, grooming sets, small electronics, music, gift cards, etc are popular items. Checks to buy toys are also a good way to help, just make your check out to Blue Santa and hand that to a Blue Santa representative working at the drive-through area. No donations of clothing, please, as clothing gifts are being handled by another local agency.
Another feature of the Blue Santa Drive is the BBQ Sandwich Sack Lunch at $5 each, prepared and provided by CJ Duffey. During noontime on both Monday and Tuesday, you can purchase one or more BBQ sack lunches at the drive-through area or at the sack lunch table on the Lowe’s parking lot. All donations received go directly to the local Blue Santa Toy Campaign. Or lunches can be delivered.
If your group or company would like to donate money to purchase a bicycle or bicycles, just give your check made out to Blue Santa at the Lowe’s drive-through area and it will be used for that purpose. Or contact CANHelp at 903-885-9797, the Hopkins County Sheriff’s Dept or Sulphur Springs Police Department for details.
One more way you can assist Blue Santa is at the Lions Club Christmas Parade on Friday night December 7. Uniformed law enforcement personnel will be walking in the parade alongside the Blue Santa float, accepting unwrapped toys from parade goers and filling the float with toys.
It is estimated that 5,000 to 6,000 toys will be needed for the number of children in this year’s program, according to Amy Griggs and Shawna Martin of the Blue Santa campaign. Distribution Day is December 15. Your donation is greatly appreciated!
