Broadcast the Good: SIWC provides Easter “goodie-bags” for kids!

  • Posted: April 9, 2020 @ 9:23 am

I had an opportunity to talk with Pastor Melissa McKinnies from Southern Illinois Worship Center on today's #KiTC Morning Show about something GOOD!  In my never-ending search to "Broadcast the Good", I'm always looking for cool things happening in the community!  This year, Easter is lookin' a little different.  No Easter Egg hunts with the kiddos. (Bummer) So, the folks at Southern Illinois Worship Center teamed up with Senator Dale Fowler and the Fowler-Bonan Foundation with local businesses to create an Easter "Goodie-Bag" with a coloring book, new crayons, free ice cream, and more!  These bags were distributed to the Harrisburg, Carterville, and Cairo school districts earlier this week.  There will also be a pick-up location at Southside Lumber in Herrin starting today through Saturday while supplies last.  (Only go out on an essential run) And, don't miss our Rise Above It Community Easter Service on the radio, and online, this Easter Sunday morning at 7AM!

It's the 2nd-most-unrealistic reality show in all of television...ABC's the Bachelorette!  Lots of rumors surrounding this season, so I'm dubbing this the "2020 Craziness Edition".  The show is crazy enough, but throw in all these rumors, in the middle of a pandemic, and you're really gonna have some wild stuff goin' on!

Clare Crawley is the bachelorette, to get started, and my wife joins me on the show to break down what happened last night on the show!
