Lowell Avenue Baptist Church got a facelift on Monday when its refurbished steeple was returned to its place atop the church.

According to church trustee Bobby Phillips, the 40-foot steeple was placed about 40 years ago and weather had taken its toll. The church contracted with Campbellsville Industries for the work.

Dave Walters is pastor at Lowell Avenue.

It can happen to you most any time and any place; all that's required is a stuffy auditorium filled with graduates in caps and gowns, a principal or president or superintendent who directs the program with boring predictability, speaks in a monotone voice with a staccato cadence, and of course, a guest speaker, who is prone to talk long after most have stopped listening.

And then, quite suddenly in the midst of this, you are overcome by the graduation blues.

The SonLight Kids will present "Everyday Heroes" at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Sunday in the Campbellsville Christian Church Family Life Center.

"Everyday Heroes" tells the stories of Gideon, Esther and Nehemiah in music and drama.

Directed by children's ministry director Cari Gaddie, the SonLight Kids are made up of 35 children in grades one through five. There will also be a presentation by the preschool Tiny Tunes Choir.

Admission is free and everyone is invited.

The Rock Community Worship Center will have a cookout and yard sale on Saturday, May 8.

The event will start at 9 a.m. and last through most of the afternoon. All items are free, including the food.

Church members will be accepting donations throughout the day, with proceeds going to pay for educational material and drums.
