Austin presents research at Celebration of Scholars

Quenten Austin, a student in the class of 2016 from Vandalia, presented research at Carthage College’s third annual Celebration of Scholars.
Austin presented “Genomic Analysis of LizLemon, a Novel Mycobacteriophage from Cluster B2 Isolated from Squirrel Feces,” a course project that explores phages capable of infecting the bacterium Mycobacterium smegmatis, a non-pathogenic relative of M. tuberculosis.
This research can shed information how tuberculosis forms and can be cured.

Good works aren't enough; you must KNOW Jesus

Matthew 7:21-23 says: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my father in heaven. On that day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, drive out demons in your name and do many miracles in your name?’ Then I will announce to them, ‘I never KNEW you! Depart from me, you lawbreakers!’”

Evergreen Outreach

By Charlene M. Jett
It took a while to get warmed up. But after we got started, our hearts were melting! Our leader on Monday was the Rev. Jim Fackler, and Donna Smith played sweet music to welcome all our friends. Pam Baker made the cookies we used for refreshments. Thanks very much.
We started by singing the  "Welcome" song, and we sang "Happy Birthday" to Ruth Ann Scott, Jessie Gordon, Louise Kruenegel, Margaret Penn, Victor Vandre and Lynette Wise.
