INSIDE: Section B LocalLife www.rrecord.com February 4, 2016 Rappahannock Record Kilmarnock, VA T he Callinectes Musical Consort on Valentine’s Day, February 14, will join Capitol Opera Richmond in a pro- gram of romantic music. The concert, to benefit the Northern Neck Orchestra (NNO), will begin at 4 p.m. at Good- luck Cellars, 1025 Good Luck Road, Kilmarnock. On a day traditionally dedicated to love and romance, frequently celebrated in song, the romantic genre is the focus of this event, reported NNO public rela- tions chairman Terry Green. The program will open with “Melo- dies,” sung by members of the Capitol Opera Richmond. They will present works by French composers of the the 19th and 20th centuries. Sung in French, with words from poems by Paul Ver- laine and others, the texts will be printed with English translations: “Her name is sweet as honey; her eyes are made from a corner of heaven … .” Romantic indeed, said Green. Following an intermission, the Cal- linectes Musical Consort, made up of Tom Lindsay, Eric Jacobson, Steve Custer and Anne Baltrusaitis, members of the string section of the NNO, will perform Alexander Borodin’s String Quartet No. 2, an example of Russian art music. Borodin was a Russian Romantic composer—a member of the group of composers called The Five, including Cesar Cui, Modest Mussorgsky and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, all of whom were dedicated to producing a specifi- cally Russian kind of art music, said Green. Their music is lush and exotic, with Borodin’s score singularly exqui- site. One of the movements is often thought of as a love duet between the viola and violin, continued Green. A cellist, Boro- din was an enthusiastic chamber musi- cian, an interest that deepened during his studies in Heidelberg between 1859 and 1861. Works by Kelly Jett, originally from Northumberland County, are on exhibit during February at Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury’s Chesapeake Center, 132 Lancaster Drive. All residents and community members are invited to view the exhibit from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Jett displays her photographs on canvas in an exhibit titled, “Water World.” Grow- ing up the daughter of a fisherman, Jett has a lifelong interest in life on the water. “My exhibit celebrates the diversity in the bodies of water—creeks, lakes, rivers, bays, oceans – and what’s found in and around them,” said Jett, who graduated from Northumberland High School in 1998. Jett entered the U.S. Army following high school and served for seven years while also obtaining a bachelor’s in criminal justice. She then attended the Savannah Col- lege of Art and Design and graduated in 2012 with a master of arts in photography. She and her husband now reside in San Diego where she is a full-time artist and photographer. Her exhibit predominantly features East Coast bodies of water, as well as lakes and oceans from around the world. Although they take many diverse forms, the water and its creatures always connect Jett back to family and a sense of nostalgia. The exhibit includes images of blue herons, blue crabs and watermen on the Chesapeake Bay—all representative of her Northern Neck upbringing. “I miss the area, and putting together this collection of photographs was a great project for me to feel connected to places back home,” said Jett. This is Jett’s first time exhibiting her work at RW-C. She can thank her sister, Katie Jett, a former RWC employee, for making the connection. Jett’s parents are Fred and Karen Jett of Northumberland. This early period yielded, among other chamber works, a string sextet and a piano quartet. Adaptations of the second and third movements of the String quartet in D Major were used in the hit Broadway play, “Kismet” as they became “Baubles, Bangles and Beads,” “And This Is My Beloved.” Several additional pieces adapted from Borodin’s music including portions of the opera “Prince Igor,” “Symphony No. 2,” “Polovetsian Dances” and “String quartet No. 1,” were also melded into the play’s musical score. “Kismet” won the Tony Award for best musical in 1954. Admission is $25 per person. Tickets may be purchased at northernneck- orchestra.org/tickets, or at the door. Students are admitted free with online reservations. Final touches are being set for the Christchurch School Visual & Perform- ing Arts Department annual winter pro- duction, “The Rappahannock Awards, a Night on the Red Carpet.” The event will be presented Febru- ary 11 through 13.

New Addition?
Send us your birth announcements!
“’The Paint Like the Masters’ workshops at the Rappahannock Art League’s Studio Gallery have proven to be so popular that we have added two more of them,” said president Sukey Starkey.
“We have proven that people with little to no experience in painting can, with step-by-step instruction, produce a great painting, and have fun at the same time,” she said.
A second Van Gogh workshop, Febru-
ary 26, has been added. Lancaster Primary School art teacher Kendra Hunt will teach the group to paint van Gogh’s “Starry Night.”
A new workshop on March 18, taught by Lancaster Middle school art teacher Mari-lyn Sprouse, will feature a piece by Leonid Afremov, “Fog Alley.” This technique is one where you will paint with a palette knife, as did Abremov. Spend an enjoy-
able evening with friends and new friends, and go home with your very own Leonid Afremov-styled painting.
Workshops will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Studio Gallery, 19 North Main Street, Kilmarnock. The $30 fee covers all materials and snacks, and students can bring their beverage of choice.
To register, stop by the gallery, or call 436-9309.

Lancaster County Sheriff Patrick McCranie recently appointed the Rev. David C. Cromer, a retired Navy chap-lain, now the pastor of Corrot-toman Baptist Church, as the official chaplain of the Lan-caster County Sheriff’s Office.
In his election campaign last year, Sheriff McCranie pledged to name a chaplain to provide palliative care for per-sonnel and the public, regard-less of faith, during times of community tragedy, and he will train several deputies in critical incident stress manage-ment to assist the chaplain if calamities occur.
Rev. Cromer was a Navy chaplain for 20 years before retiring as a lieutenant com-mander. He has been the pastor at Corrottoman Baptist Church for six years. His wife, Denise,
is the music director at Kilmar-nock Methodist Church.
“David and my father served together in the 1990s at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island, S.C., where my dad was command chap-lain,” said Sheriff McCranie. “I tease David that, having served under the father, now he’ll serve under the son.

On fourth Thursdays, Henderson UMC in Callao hosts a free community lunch.
Thursday, January 28, was the first day that many Northern Necks residents left their homes after the blizzard the preceding Friday, said Nellie Landrum. The Henderson volunteers, led by Bev Mangan and Sandie Bailie, served 94 meals.
Attendees chose between meatloaf and macaroni and cheese, said Landrum. Although the food was outstanding, even more appreciated was the fellowship with friends and neighbors. Con-sequently, many of the attendees lingered longer than usual to take advantage of this opportunity.
The next free community lunch will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. February 25. The meal will be chicken pot pie. Henderson invites all to come and enjoy the fellowship and free lunch, said Landrum.

Elizabeth Hilda Conley Butler was born September 23, 1929 in Heathsville, Virginia. She was the second of 10 children born to the late Willie and Dorothy Conley. Being the second oldest sibling, she was a major influence in the nurturing and raising of her younger siblings. Hilda accepted Christ at an early age, and was baptized by the late Rev. Henry Roane. Although health issues in recent years kept her confined to her home, she continued to praise God and to support First Baptist Church, Heathsville, VA until her passing. Hilda was educated in the public schools of Northumberland County, Virginia, where she attended Howland Graded School and Julius Rosenwald. On October 31, 1947, she married Clinton Butler of Northumberland County, Virginia. Their union was blessed with five children: William, Carolyn, James, Donald, and Martel. Hilda, who was affectionately known as “Lo” by family members and many friends, was a humble soft spoken and quiet woman with a loving and kind heart. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, and mother-in-law, who enjoyed cooking, canning, knitting, crocheting, and solving crossword puzzles. She cherished her family and friends and served many years as an account manager and record keeper for the family logging business. She also participated in the August 28, 1963, March on Washington and often reflected on her memories of being present to hear Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s “I Have a Dream Speech.” Early in the morning on Friday, December 18, 2015, at her home in Alfonso, Virginia, our Heavenly Father gently called her home. Her parents, Dorothy and Willie Conley, three siblings: Arthur Conley, Clarice Jones, Cornelia Conley, and an infant son, William Purcell Butler preceded her in death. She is survived by her devoted husband of 68 years, Clinton Butler; a daughter, Carolyn Butler Keeve; three sons: James C. Butler (Deborah), Donald W. Butler (Arnette), and Gary M. Butler (Alethea). Six siblings: Grace Norris, Phyllis Burnett (Hurston), Bessie H. Owens, James Conley (Marie), Earlene Holmes (Rev. Albert Holmes), Barbara Jean Maith (Woody), two aunts: Marie Nelms and Rosetta Veney (Albert); one uncle: Raymond Conley (Lillian), three sisters-in-law: Phyllis Butler Smith (Melvin), Yvonne Butler O’Berry (Heeter) and Zina Butler Morris, a brother-in-law: Curtis Butler; 10 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Her loved ones will always remember how as she was preparing to leave the hospital she softly whispered, “Don’t worry about me, I’ll be alright.” The Butler Family, would like to convey sincere appreciation for every expression of kindness extended to us during this our season of sorrow. Your concerns, cards, flowers, phone calls, visits, donations and especially your prayers will forever be cherished by our family.

RAPPAHANNOCK RECORD
Rev. John Farmer has been the pastor at Irvington Baptist Church since 1986.
Some eleven years ago Hazel and I moved from
the parsonage owned by the Irvington Baptist Church. My two families and I had grown to call the place Goodwin Hall after the preacher who first lived there. I know, I’d already said my good-byes to the nest I’d called home for years.
We labored long over the bounty of our possessions because we knew that we would have to trash, give away, or store the remainder of the house’s contents. Most of these items rested in the smallest upstairs bedroom, our family closet for the almost six years of our mar-riage.
Remember Fibber McGee’s radio closet? “Don’t open that closet!?
Across the week-end and Bank-holi-day-Monday, Hazel and I rolled up our sleeves and pitched in together to wind up our procrastinations. Some of the furniture went to relatives. Too many boxes of yesterdays, found a new storage home up in Lancaster.
During the latter stages of my first wife’s journey, she’d piled old family photos and other certified memories into boxes. She was going to cat-egorize and place them in albums for the kids. It never got done. So, high upon a shelf sat the bulging boxes of yesterdays. I wasn’t sure that I wanted to go back to all those days. For the most part I would have to agree that they were happy days. My life has truly been a joy to me (I shall not speak for those around me). God’s goodness towards me has enlivened my path, my life, and deepened my faith.
I pulled a ladder into the closet and thrust my frame upwards. With a firm grip on the bulging containers, I lowered them one by one to the floor. They weighed a full thirty-plus years heavy.
Once I had sloughed off the accumulation of dust and dived in, I was sharply reminded that
those boxes held a lot of dead people. Also in them were new babies, now grown; vaca-tions well spent, certificates of accomplishments, persons I long to see again over in Glory Land, offices once occupied, homes now enjoyed by others and unmet expectations galore.
For the next few hours, though it seemed like days, I picked up each piece of paper, each snapshot and returned there long enough to determine if I would save the memory or sort for my two children from my first family, to add to their bulging closets. The fourth pile was the trash bin.
The fourth pile won. You
see, like so many of you, I had multiple copies of yesterdays. Some snapshots were of ques-tionable items, issues, scenes, which stretched the imagina-tion as to why anyone would have wanted to save such a bland memory. Lots of miss-ing feet, thumbs, out of focus, cut-off heads, along with many over or under exposed photog-raphy, snuck out.
Let me share this with you. My demeanor surprised me as I returned to my life before Hazel. I felt so free to ask her to go there with me and explain briefly what, why, when was the scene worth depicting. It was testimony as to how God heals sadness, bad times, and big troubles. That got me into a fix though, for Hazel kept reaching into bin four to retrieve issues over which I had finished praying, remember-ing, visiting.
Just before the blue dump boxes went to bed on a Monday evening, I muscled the fourth bin into the back seat of my truck and made the sacrificial journey.
On my way back to Irving-ton I pulled into our new drive-
way at Ghost Hole Pond to pray. It is the home Hazel built in her former life with another. In that house we now have this amalgam of used-to-be and new-to-us, possessions. They are accented with bits and pieces of “his and hers” yester-days. Thanks to our loving God we can now call the home and all that resides therein, “ours.”
We’ve had to close lots of doors; we’ve inventoried a lot of hurt. We’ve had to rise above disappointments, of sadness, to get to this stage in our almost 17-year life together.
We so often agree that we do not understand how it is that some can transpire so similar
difficult pathways without the benefit of a loving relationship with Jesus, who wants to be our Lord, our Savior.
I wanted to take this opportunity to acquaint everyone with our Lord Christ. He has guided us through, helped us
achieve, given us the courage to carry on and made it all the more meaningful.
Week upon week I have weakly mounted a sacred desk to share the Bible with those so patient to return again and again. There should be a medal for pew-persons who have endured long-tenured pas-tors. Many of you have read me through the weekly pages of the Rappahannock Record. When I think that so many are receptacles of my meandering thoughts, my redundancy—I am also mindful that God has given you to me in order that I might know love.
Today God gets a big “thank-you” from the preacher. And all those wonderful per-sons who support me do so as well. “Man, isn’t God good?” …Even to preachers! Thanks to Him, my boxes of yester-days paled by comparison with the days ahead of me in this life; and, for the assurance that when I die… I won’t…
Reflectionsby Rev. John Farmer

Members of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church invite the community to their Lenten mid-week ser-vices starting with an Ash Wednesday Communion Service.
The service, with ashes, will begin at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 10, at the church, 1717 Hampton Hall Road, Callao. Lenten services will continue at 5:30 p.m. Wednesdays through March 16.
Lent is a time for reflection and meditation in order to deepen one’s understanding of the drama, scriptural fulfillment, meaning and importance of Jesus’ passion, said the Rev. Mike Ramming, pastor. Or put another way, “Lent is spring training for Christians.”
The theme of the service will be “The Way” and will describe Jesus’ passion as he walked from trial to Calvary to death and beyond.
“Today, we realize his walk serves as a model for us and the Lenten worship season is a time for repentance and drawing closer to God in faith,” said Rev. Ramming.
The Lenten season also is filled with symbolism, he said. In the early church, the original period of Lent was 40 hours, which was later lengthened to 40 days in memory of Jesus’ 40 days of fasting and temptation in the wilderness.
Fasting was included in the period as a spiritual discipline and to commemorate the suffering of Christ. The traditional liturgical color of Lent is violet and is a reminder of the importance of repen-tance in a Christian’s life. At different times in its history, Lent was observed with the wearing of sackcloth and ashes as a sign of sorrow and repen-tance and is a practice that goes back to Old Testa-ment times.

St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Kilmarnock recently celebrated the ministry of its pastor, the
Rev. Dr. Thomas R. Coye, on the occasion of his retirement.
Rev. Coye’s retirement began officially on February 1, reported associate pastor the Rev. Judy Thomson. A retirement luncheon January 30 and a final worship service January 31 marked the end of Coye’s 27 ½ years as the church’s pastor. He also concludes over 42 years of active service as an ordained Minister of the Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
It was July 1988, when Rev. Coye, his wife, Linda, and son, Tim, arrived in the Northern Neck to begin their association with St. Andrews, said Rev. Thom-son. The church had been chartered two months earlier, in May 1988. There were 62 charter members when Rev. Coye began serving and worship services were held in the Seventh Day Adventist Church.
Within a short time, the congregation moved into a pre-fabricated building at 435 East Church Street, Kilmarnock. Over the years, the church built addi-tions and the original building became the fellowship hall, said Rev. Thomson.
The church’s current membership is 227, although over 400 persons have at one time been members of the congregation.
Rev. Coye has been actively involved in the com-munity, serving with Church Resource Services, the Salvation Army, the American Heart Association, the Northern Neck Orchestra, the Interfaith Service Council, Lancaster/Northumberland Habitat for Humanity, the Lancaster County Ministerial Asso-ciation, Kiwanis of the Northern Neck, the board of directors of Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury, and the Bon Secours Rappahannock General Hospi-tal chaplaincy program.
Most notably, he played a key role in establishing The Link four years ago. He also served on numer-ous committees of the Presbytery of the James.
Through his leadership, the St. Andrews congrega-tion became involved in many of the above-mentioned organizations. In addition, he made it possible for numerous community groups to meet in the church.
In retirement, Rev. Coye will continue his involvement with The Link and Kiwanis, and will serve occasionally as a guest preacher.

Some 21 youth and seven chaperones from Irvington Baptist Church (IBC) recently attended the “Strength to Stand” Student Bible Conference in Pigeon Forge, Tenn.
The conference was sold out with 9,300 in attendance, repre-senting 15 states, reported youth director Hazel Farmer. The IBC team was in the Omega Session at The LeConte Center and Sevier-ville Event Center with speakers Scott Dawson, Rick Burgess and
David Nasser. Worship music was led by
Rush of Fools, JJ Weeks, and headlining the weekend was Toby Mac.
“We extend a huge thank you to our church family for giving our youth the opportunity to attend this conference,” said Farmer. “Our monies were raised through car washes, luncheons, dinners, bake sales, and generous donations. The IBC family was there to support each fundraiser.
We are indeed blessed. “We are also very proud of
these young people who work hard to attend the conference and who attend with open hearts, ready to receive what it is God wants them to hear. I would also like to thank our wonderful chap-erones, who joined me in taking care of these great young people: pastor John Farmer, Jimmy Rob-ertson, Jo Schafer, Tony and Kathy Taft and Travis Tomlin-son.”
Grace Episcopal Church, 303 South Main Street, Kilmarnock, will host the annual community wor-ship gatherings during this Lenten season.
Beginning on Ash Wednes-day, February 10, and con-tinuing on Wednesdays through March 23, a variety of lay leaders and preach-ers will lead the worship, said Grace Episcopal parish administrator Donna Curran. Services will begin at 12:05 p.m. and fellowship lunch will follow at 12:30 p.m., provided by various church groups.
These services began in 1964 and were sponsored by the Lancaster County Minis-terial Association (LCMA), an interdenominational and interracial fellowship of
active and retired ministers, said Curran.
At the time, these gather-ings were the first in the his-tory of the county to which believers of all denomina-tions and of all races were invited to come together to share in worship and fel-lowship. Kilmarnock was chosen as the site because of its central location.
Now, 52 years later, com-munity members united in Christ Jesus still gather for these special annual cel-ebrations. Over the years, six churches have rotated as hosts: Kilmarnock Baptist, Kilmarnock United Meth-odist, St. Andrews Presby-terian, Calvary Baptist, St. Francis de Sales Catholic and Grace Episcopal.
Contributions offered at
the worship services will go to the Interfaith Service Council. A donation of $4 is requested for the luncheon.
“We hope you can make these services a regular part of your preparation for Easter,” said Curran.
This week’s guest preacher will be the Rev. Ulysses Turner of Beulah Baptist Church, Lively. The worship leader will be the Rev. David May of Grace Episcopal Church; the lay reader will be from Irvington Baptist Church in Irvington.
Lunch will include tuna salad sandwiches, tomato basil soup and brownies pre-pared by Grace Episcopal, St. Mary’s Whitechapel and Trinity churches.
