Cub Scouts in Pack 170 of Marianna kicked off a new season of scouting with their first meeting of the school year at the First Presbyterian Church. The unit of study was "Building Muscles", with scouts learning and participating in a variety of exercises and cooperative games. Bear Scout Calen Sims spoke to the scouts about ways to get in good physical shape, how to keep from being dehydrated, and the importance of proper nutrition and rest for your body.
Special guest for the meeting was Marianna High School softball player Allison Hutton, who showed the scouts several stretching exercises and helped them learn other low-impact exercises to warm up their muscles.
Bear Scout leader Mary Ann Hutton instructed the scouts on a number of different individual and team activities, including the foot push; one-legged hand wrestle; seated back-to-back push; pull over; hand wrestle, and many others. They also had a crab relay; 30-yard dash; kangaroo relay; gorilla relay; baseball throw, and the standing long jump.
Following the meeting, Cub Scouts sang "Happy Birthday" to leader Mary Ann Hutton and enjoyed birthday cake and a time of fellowship. To learn more about scouting, please e-mail cokehut@digitalexp.com, or call 209-2818.

BCF Student Serves in New York City
9/4/08
From the small town of Graceville to the "Big Apple," Baptist College of Florida (BCF) Mission’s major, Courtney Coggins, spent two and a half months in New York City this summer serving with Graffiti 2 Ministry. Graffiti 2 is a community and children centered ministry branch from Graffiti Church located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The vision of the ministry is to have a church planted in troubled communities of all five boroughs.
While Coggins was in NY, she spent her time planning and preparing for summer camps that have been held every year since the start of Graffiti 2 Ministry three years ago. The director, Andrew Mann, began as a summer intern for Graffiti Church in Manhattan. Falling in love with the ministry there and God’s calling on his life, Mann was asked to start the second Graffiti in Mott Haven which has been rated one of the worst places to raise children. An additional employee, Ashley Emmertt, has just been hired to help Mann with Graffiti 2. Emmertt also started out as a summer intern and immediately felt God’s call on her life to live and serve with the people in the Mott Haven community.
While the people of Mott Haven have a rough lifestyle, they also have a deep desire for a better life. While serving, Coggins quickly learned over the summer that people need to be ministered to no matter what their lifestyle may be. She stated that her views on people not needing to hear the gospel until they changed their lifestyle promptly changed to just the opposite, "They need the gospel before they can change their lifestyles."
According to Coggins, the work she participated in was simple. The Graffiti 2 Ministry held two separate camps during the summer and then a block party at the end. The first camp was held in the mornings from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm. This was a sports camp, which lasted four weeks highlighting football, baseball, tennis, basketball, and cheerleading. Churches from different parts of the country come and lead the sports camps. Every day the children were taught about a particular sport to improve their skills, as well as learned about Jesus Christ. On Friday, Mann would present the gospel to all of the children.
The other camp was a fine arts camp held in the afternoon. The children learned about music, drama, dance, and art. During the block party held at the end of the camp, the children performed a production showcasing the work they did all summer. For example, during the art class, they drew and colored the backdrop, and many children sang solos, duets, and raps. The theme song they performed was "Lean on Me." All of the children heard more of God’s word and on Friday they heard the story of the missionary Jim Elliot.
"I would like to encourage all of our students and others to go into the world and serve God," stated Coggins. "Even if you are not called to overseas missions, you are called to missions. Matt. 28:19 directs all Christians to go out and make disciples of all nations in Christ’s name. Don’t ignore His call for your life or you will miss a wonderful experience and blessing."

Missions CelebrationHeld at BCF
9/4/08
"The Missions Celebration has been an absolute blessing!" Those were the words of Lauren Parnell, Missions Coordinator at The Baptist College of Florida (BCF) in Graceville, when asked to reflect on the August 18-20 summer mission reports given during chapel services. Traditionally, BCF President Thomas A. Kinchen preaches during the first week of chapel, encouraging students through God’s Word, but for the Fall 2008 semester the chapel took on a new beginning with challenging and adventurous stories from BCF’s summer mission projects.
Monday, August 18, Rich Elligson, Assistant Professor of Missions and former IMB Missionary to Brazil, began the Missions Celebration with stories from his trip to Cururupu, Brazil, where BCF has a ministry partnership. Elligson challenged the students by stating, "Missions isn’t a vacation to an exotic location. It’s hard work!" Following Elligson, Robin Jumper, Dean of Faculty and Professor of Missions, approached the pulpit along with a group of students who spent ten days in Jacksonville, FL, doing inner-city missions with Words to Works Ministries.
John Thomas, Assistant Professor of Preaching and Pastoral Ministry, and six students spent the Tuesday service sharing the "obstacle to opportunity" missions experience they encountered during their trip to Ayacucho, Peru in early July. "I began to pray during our trip for the abundant life Jesus talks about," stated Peru team member Krista Brown. "It was during this trip that God showed me that I am already living the abundant life. Sharing Christ is the way to obtain abundant life and that’s what we were doing!"
On Wednesday, Parnell and the Wisconsin mission team closed the opening week of chapel with reports from their July trip to the post-modern culture of Portage, WI. Through fair ministry and disaster relief, the students touched the lives of many and were able to encourage a young church, River of Life, in the work they are doing for God’s Kingdom.
According to Parnell, the Missions Celebration at BCF is just the beginning of another great year of missions. Students are getting more involved than ever thanks to the week of missions-filled chapel services. Parnell is now looking forward to the Spring 2009 Missions Conference and the impact it will have on BCF students.

Ascension Lutheran Church to Celebrate 50th Year Anniversary
9/4/08
Ascension Lutheran Church of Marianna will soon celebrate 50 Years of worshipping God in Marianna. Our celebration’s theme is Living and Proclaiming Christ in Word and Sacrament. The special celebration will be at 3:00 p.m. on September 7th, 2008 with a special service featuring Rev. Dr. Wallace Schulz, world renowned evangelist.
Rev. Dr. Wallace Schulz is the Evangelist of the Lutheran Heritage Foundation, a worldwide mission organization. He is also editor of the Good News magazine, published in 20 languages and distributed in over 100 countries. For twenty five years, Rev. Schulz was a speaker on the "Lutheran Hour", reaching out to people around the world. He was also fifth and second Vice President of the Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod for 3 terms.
On this celebration of fifty years of worshipping here, Rev. Schulz will address the congregation and our guests on bringing people to Christ.
Ascension’s Pastor Hank Malone, installed in April of this year, now calls for us to turn and reach outward and share our loving church family with those seeking to know God. You are invited to join us for this wonderful service.
In 1958, eight families gathered together to worship in the Lutheran tradition meeting first in their homes and then with the help of others, having the first formal church service, which we commemorate here, using St. Luke’s Episcopal Church building. Services were held with Pastor D.E. Sallach of Dothan. We also worshiped at the Graham Air Force Base facilities as some of our members were Air Force personnel. We then continued with evening services in the Les Beard Studio. During this time, Vicar Milan Weerts came here from Trinity Lutheran Church in Panama City and gave services.
The young church suffered a blow when the Graham Air Force Base was closed. In August 1960, our first resident pastor of Ascension, Pastor L. Delgohausen arrived, which we shared with Port of St. Joe church. Our services then moved to the Marianna Women’s Club. Finally, helped by a loan from the Lutheran Southern District, the congregation purchased an old veterinary office building in 1961, and remodeled it into a church. At this same location, 3975 West Highway 90, and twenty nine years later, a new wonderful church building was built and dedicated in 1990. Volunteers of the Laborers for Christ and our own members built this House of God.
Some of earliest members were from the community of Bonifay, FL and through the years, those members formed a church there called Grace Lutheran Church. These two churches shared the services of our Pastors through the years till 1996.
With the help of so many people and with God’s guidance, our church congregation has continued and now celebrates its 50th Anniversary. Please come and worship with us on this occasion.

Hurricanes Bring Back Memories of the “Great Tide”
9/4/08
By: Dale Cox
Tropical Storm Fay and Hurricane Gustav have had all eyes concentrating on the Gulf of Mexico lately. This always brings my mind back to the legend of Northwest Florida’s "Great Tide."
That was the name given by novelist Rubylea Hall to a legendary hurricane tidal surge that supposedly wiped the city of St. Joseph, Florida, from the map. St. Joseph stood on the present site of Port St. Joe and during the 1830s was the largest city in Florida. Little remains today other than tombstones and a museum to remind visitors that the city ever existed.
Hall’s story of a "city so wicked that God wiped it from the earth" is a Gone with the Wind like tale of life on the plantations of Jackson County, and our area’s close connections to the lost city. In the novel, as in real life, St. Joseph prospered only to be devastated by a deadly yellow fever epidemic. The survivors in Hall’s story were at last driven away by a hurricane driven surge that rose from the Gulf and swept St. Joseph into history.
The Great Tide mirrored real history in many ways, with some artistic license. Jackson County did indeed have many strong connections to St. Joseph. Robert Beveridge, the founder of Marianna, moved to St. Joseph less than ten years after he and his workers carved Marianna from the wilderness. He died at St. Joseph during the great yellow fever outbreak and lies buried in an unmarked grave in the old cemetery there.
Connected to St. Joseph by direct road, Marianna naturally developed many business and social ties to the coastal boomtown. Residents of Jackson County built "summer homes" in St. Joseph to escape the brutal heat and humidity of the interior. Many original promoters of Webbville also became involved in the new city on the coast, establishing businesses there. St. Joseph’s newspaper, for example, was published by a former Webbville entrepreneur.
By the time that St. Joseph hosted the Florida Constitutional Convention in 1838, the city had grown to become the largest city in Florida and its promoters envisioned the day when it would become a major coastal city to rival New Orleans.
It was not to be. A massive yellow fever outbreak hit the city, sending residents fleeing into the interior. Newspapers across the South reported the death toll from St. Joseph. How many people actually died from fever may never be known, but the list was certainly long and the sickness showed no respect for wealth or position. It inflicted a death blow from which St. Joseph never recovered. During the early 1840s a hurricane did hit the city, but the legends of a "Great Tide" that wiped St. Joseph from the earth grew significantly in the telling. By the time of the Civil War, however, St. Joseph had disappeared as the forest reclaimed the streets, cemetery and ruins of the city. Some of the fashionable homes of the city were loaded onto barges and floated down the coast to "healthier" communities in which to live. By the mid-1840s, many Jackson County families that had relocated to St. Joseph returned to their former homes in and around Marianna.
A visit to Port St. Joe today provides a fascinating glimpse back in time. Visitors can explore the history of the lost city at the Constitutional Convention State Museum located on the site of old St. Joseph. Exhibits there include artifacts from St. Joseph and a replica of Florida’s first railroad locomotive. The old St. Joseph Cemetery also survives as a somber reminder of the fever outbreak that doomed what once was Florida’s largest city.
Editor’s Note: Writer and historian Dale Cox is the author of several books on Northwest Florida history. You can read more of his writings on Jackson County by visiting our website at www.jacksoncountytimes.net and clicking the "Local History" button.
