The Columbia United Methodist Church invites everyone for a Christmas Eve sacred time of worship Thursday, Dec. 24, at 7 p.m. There will be traditional carols, readings from the Holy Scriptures, and a Christmas message. We will also join our voices in “Silent Night” by candlelight as we welcome the birth of the Messiah.

The annual tradition is to celebrate this service together as a “Community of Faith.” This year, with the global pandemic, we feel an on-line service is the safest way to remember the birth of our Lord.

If you would like to receive a candle to light during the service and a special Christmas message, along with the hymns we will be singing, you can stop by the back door of the church Dec. 23- 24 from 1-3 pm to pick them up.

The service can be viewed by logging on to Facebook and accessing the Columbia Kentucky United Methodist Church site.

Adair Co Clerk’s Office:

September 27, 2020 Huntington, WVA – The Kentucky Circuit Court Clerks’ Trust For Life and their partner, the Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, are hosting the first-ever live concert in their ongoing effort to grow the Organ Donor Registry. In addition to the almost 1,000 patients on the waiting list in the Commonwealth, approximately 113,000 men, women, and children across the U.S. are awaiting lifesaving organ, tissue, and eye transplants.

To educate and help grow the Organ Donor Registry, both organizations have teamed up with several nationally-recognized and local musical artists to highlight the continuing efforts to save lives through the universal language – and power – of music with a live virtual concert on Saturday, October 10, 2020. The lineup of performers includes: Lee Brice; Jolivia: Josh Logan and Olivia Henken; William Matheny; Hello June; Laid Back Country Picker; Chelsea Nolan; Choc Four Wheelers; Flat Tracker; Josh Brown and the Hard Livin’ Legends; The Carpenter Ants; Josh Martin; Big Rock and the Candy Ass Mountain Boys; and Corduroy Brown, along with special appearances by John Ellison and Tiffany Lopez. The live concert will be hosted by Mountain Stage Executive Producer, Adam Harris, and the Technical Media Manager for the city of Huntington, Michael Valentine. Visit the livetosavelives.com at 6 p.m. Eastern Time to join the live broadcast on Facebook and YouTube!

 “We are always looking to innovate and reach the community with education and registry initiatives, even in the midst of a pandemic,” states Dennis Loy, Adair County Circuit Court Clerk. “The 2020 ‘Live to Save Lives Concert’ is an exciting and positive way to reach a caring and music-loving audience of all ages to join in support of this lifesaving mission.”

Everyone can register as an organ donor online at www.donatelifeky.org and when they obtain a driver’s license at their Circuit Court Clerks’ office.  There are no age limits or medical requirements to register as an organ donor.

KBC’s Summer Sweet 16 Will Award $16,000 to Donors

Donate blood to be entered to win one of two $500 gift cards each week

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky Blood Center wants to infuse donors’ summer with a little cash, so the nonprofit is giving away two $500 gift cards each week for a total of $16,000 awarded through September 18.

All donors who register to donate at a KBC donor center or mobile blood drive each week will be entered to win one of two $500 gift cards. The promotion starts May 30. Donors will be entered into the week’s drawing each time they give during the summer. In addition, each registered donor will receive a KBC t-shirt (while supplies last).

“The summer months are always tough on the blood supply and given the current state of the economy, we know our donors are experiencing difficult times as well,” said Mandy Brajuha, Director of Marketing for Kentucky Blood Center. “In an effort to help our loyal donors ‘rebound’ this summer, we’re encouraging blood donation to help Kentucky patients and providing a little economic stimulus to 32 lucky winners.”

Donors can help boost the blood supply and get entered to win at this upcoming blood drive:
