Trip to Starlight, Indiana to visit

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH
FOR OUR ANNUAL THANKSGIVING GET TOGETHER. 
 

We plan to depart Macedonia at 10:00, drive to Starlight, Indiana, to the Joe Huber Farm & Restaurant. 

Join us by signing up on the YAH sheet in the hallway.

During our journey, your on-board hostesses will have some exciting games to divert our attention. We’ll arrive there about 12:00 PM and put on our feedbags for Huber’s traditional Thanksgiving feast. Dinner includes fresh baked turkey, homemade dressing, fried biscuits w/ apple butter, country slaw, sweet potatoes, green beans, corn, cranberry relish and mashed potatoes & gravy. The desserts are scrumptious. Everything served is made from scratch!!  The meal including drink, tax and tip is $19.50.  Afterwards, we’ll stroll the beautiful grounds and visit their farm shop packed full of farm products and gifts, etc. This is a great trip as all who went last year can attest, a beautiful drive, a wonderful meal and spectacular views on top the southern Indiana hills at Huber Farm.  Sign up early for this trip.  After the visit, we’ll depart and return to Macedonia around 4:30 PM.

Quirk Cafe & Coffee Trip 
The YAH group traveled to Midway on Oct 14th and lunched at the Quirk Cafe. Lots of good dishes were enjoyed by the group and then many ventured down the quaint streets of Midway shopping in the shops and boutiques. The return trip included a trip down Leestown Road and then an interesting side tour of the Lexington Cemetery with narration provided by Jane Blackford. It was a great trip albeit short in comparison to most of the YAH outings.  Click to see photos.
 

Paula’s Refugees – Need Helping Hand

A family has recently been relocated to Lexington (5 wks) from the Central African Republic - town of Mbaiki (mbaakee). 

The father was Congolese, and was killed. This relocated family consists of a mother and five children.  The oldest child is about 19 and the youngest is 9 years.  They came here with the clothes on their backs and flip flops.   They are going through the Refugee program but a church did not pick them up to sponsor and with economy being what it is, things are tough.

Paula asked the family (in her best Greenup-French as they only speak French at the moment) to write down their basic needs that haven't been met.  Someone has already helped her get them shoes, and some items have been donated since Paula sent out an e-mail to our congregation.  Knowing that all of you do not have e-mail, we are sharing the information with you via this bulletin.

Here is the list the Mom and kids came up with:

Winter Gloves - (Mom, 19 and 15-year-old boys, 17-year-old-girl, 10-year-old girl and 9-year-old girl)  Hats - Toboggans, scarves, whatever to cover their heads.  Blankets - there are 5 beds in the apartment - 2 twin and 3 queen. Pots - used for boiling, cooking rice, etc.  Kitchen knives, toilet bowl brush something like a broom that picks up the dirt on the carpet  -  I believe this would be a vacuum cleaner or like a Bissell broom : )

Sizes -  The Mom - my guess is a size 14 and wears and  8 or 8 1/2 shoe.  The 19-year-old boy - he is a medium in shirt size and I'd say a 32 or 34 waist in pants and wears an 11 in a shoe.  The 15-year-old boy - he is a medium in shirt size and a 32 in pants but with a belt he could hold up a 34. Saint Marc wears a 10 1/2 in a shoe and he smiles really big!  The 17-year-old girl - is a size 4 or 6 at the most. She wears an 8 or

8 1/2 shoe.  The 10-year-old and 9-year-old girls - this is harder  to guess.  They are not heavy but they are not pencil thin like the Congolese kids.  Someone bought them some tops in sizes 10-12 and 12-14.  Shoe girls sizes are unknown right now.  If you have any items or clothing, Paula would be thrilled to take them to the family.  

In Paula’s attempt at a conversation, the mother asked to be able to come to church with her one Sunday soon.  Paula told her she would get them here but that we don't have an interpreter. The whole group smiled and said it would be okay.  Even with the language barrier, a hug or handshake says the biggest part of it.

Kentucky Refugee Ministries have resettled 150 individuals to our community this year.
