I didn’t give you a report of the Third Thursday meeting or the “Lucy” Bible study. Thursday we were blessed with five new people with a total representation from ten different churches. Numbers are not important, but the spirit of Christian love and fellowship is! We have been so blessed t0 be able to host these meeting for so many years. We are looking forward to what God is going to do in the future. James Rimes and Andy Taylor used their musical talents to “speak” to us. How blessed we all were as we were surrounded by a sweet spirit of Christian love.

The “Lucy” Bible study Friday was number eight. It was on Devotion. Several people thought it was one of the best so far. We ended with a brown bag lunch and sweet sharing. We will be meeting again next Friday to study Outreach. The topics the following weeks will be Happiness, Boasts, and Likeness. Line Creek will be beginning the “Lucy” study Wednesday night. If you would like to join them, contact a member of Line Creek for the time and room location.

Don’t forget to do your part to support the Georgia Barnette Offering for mission work in Louisiana. There are people around us here, just like around the world, that need to have a relationship with God. Let’s support this offering for work in Louisiana.

Jackets and other winter clothing for men, women, boys, and girls is being collected at FBC, Kentwood. Also, items for the Friendship House in New Orleans – small deodorants, cases of bottled water or fruit juice, etc. Contact the church office for a list.

E. Fountain Young, Jr.
(September 9, 1928 – October 12, 2013)

E. Fountain Young, Jr. began his earthly journey on September 9, 1928 and his heavenly one 85 years later on October 12, 2013. He grew up in Pine Grove, Louisiana and was an active member of the Pine Grove United Methodist Church along with his parents, Evie Fountain Young, Sr. and Inez Morgan Young. In 1945 Fountain graduated valedictorian from Pine Grove High School and then set out to serve in the United States Army and did so from 1946 to 1948, spending time in Japan. He observed that there was a close alliance between freedom and education, and to that end he attended Louisiana State University where he earned a BS in General Agriculture in 1951 and a Master of Science in Agronomy in 1953. He received a Ph.D. in Agriculture and Applied Science from Oklahoma State University in 1964. His studies took him to Venezuela where he worked on herbicides for corn production. He also believed that one could find dignity in work well done. He devoted himself to plant research that he accomplished through the United States Department of Agriculture. In 1985 he co-authored a book with Tommy E. Thompson, Pecan Cultivars, Past and Present, a widely used field guide for growing pecans. He also did research that led to the successful production of SuPima cotton. Mr. Young was a Master Mason as well as a Shriner. He was an active member of St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in El Paso, Texas before his recent move to Monroe, Michigan. Fountain’s most cherished accomplishment was his family, whom he adored. He lives on in the hearts of those who love him including his wife of 56 years, Sarah Margaret Davis Young, a daughter, Kathryn Elaine Murphy (Mark) and sons Eric Forrest Young (Catherine), Brett Allen Young (Pam), and grandchildren, Bryan Murphy (Jennifer), Megan Murphy, Jennifer Murphy, Morgan Murphy, Sarah Young, and Alysa Young, and one great grandchild, Sophia Murphy, along with his siblings, Willie Eugene Young (Mary Katherine), Elizabeth Joe Dykes (Tag), and Robert Larry Young (Judy). Friends and family will wish him a fond farewell on Saturday, October 19, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. at Pine Grove United Methodist Church, Pine Grove, LA with visitation beginning at 9:30 a.m. Services conducted by Rev. Michael Townsend. Interment will follow at Pine Grove Cemetery. McKneely Funeral Home, Amite, is in charge of the arrangements. Memorials for E.

Please keep her and family in your prayers.

Thanks!

Linda Ritchie Tryniecki, a resident of Amite, died at 8:15 am on Tuesday, September 24, 2013 at North Oaks Medical Center in Hammond. She was born November 23, 1948 in Bogalusa and was 64 years of age. Linda was a devoted wife, a loving mother, grandmother and a faithful friend.

Linda devoted her professional life to the countless students that she taught and teachers that she mentored over her 26 year career. She earned both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Education from Southeastern Louisiana University. Her first few years of teaching found her at Amite Elementary, Holy Ghost Catholic School and Merryland Kindergarten and PreSchool. She then found her home at Mater Dolorosa Catholic School in Independence where she taught Kindergarten and 2nd grade for eight years. Her desire to help Mater Dolorosa flourish brought her out of the classroom and into the leadership role as Principal of Mater Dolorosa for six years. These years spent with the students, teachers and families of Mater Dolorosa Parish were her most cherished. After retiring from her role as Principal, she returned to her alma mater of Southeastern to share her expertise and experience as an Instructor and University Supervisor of Student Teachers for six years. She always expressed her joy in being able to mentor these future educators. The family wishes to thank the doctors and ICU nursing staff of North Oaks Hospital for their devoted care.
