By Kathleen Kjolhaug The conversation looped around—three times to be exact. Questions flew: Why was I so naïve in my faith? Why wasn’t I taught—or was I taught and I just didn’t get it? Why am I hearing things for the very first time when I read scripture? Did they go over my head? Wasn’t I ready? The questions came rapid fire in conversation with three different people—in a span of three days.

By John Stenen When I was thirteen years old living in Minneapolis near the Mississippi river, my playground was on the banks of the river with all its sandstone caves and Indian trails. At our favorite swimming hole one day, a boy my age was drowning in twenty feet of water. I jumped in and managed to get him to shore; and of course, he nearly drowned me in the process. He was so grateful for what I had done for him and thanked me over and over. I also was thankful to see him saved, but it does not compare with sharing Jesus Christ with one who is lost and seeing them get saved. Jesus said in John 3:3 “Except a man be born-again, he will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” Are you positive you are saved? Are you committed to Christ and living each day for Him? All your good works will never be enough to save you. Read Ephesians 2:8-10. Water baptism cannot save you, it requires being washed in the blood of the Lamb. Water cannot wash away your sin, only the blood of Jesus can. People are dying every day and going to a Christless eternity; please don’t be one of them. God bless.

The MCC Rebel Football team hosted the Springfield Tigers on Friday night in Slayton. Throughout the week the forecast showed a chance of rain and thunderstorms and part of that took place on Friday. The Rebels and the Tigers have been two of the powers in Section 3A over the last 10 years with trips to the state tournament running through one of the two schools. The Tigers have dominated the regular season matchups but the playoff games have flipped back and forth over the years. The regular season domination would continue for the Tigers in a stranger way than normal.

m Til The Murray County Central Rebel Volleyball team was in Shakopee for a tournament this past weekend. They opened the season with a pair of losses to Canby and Lakeview over one week ago.

Here we are at the start of a brand new school year! I love the clean slate this time of year provides. My name is Christina Walker, and I am the Career & Academic Advisor at MCC High School. I’m so excited to be serving in this role again and am thankful for the opportunity to continue supporting our students. My priorities are preparing students for college and careers beyond high school and helping remove barriers to realizing their goals. Finalizing schedules, sharing scholarship information, coordinating district assessments and making connections with local partnerships are all part of my role.
