THIS WEEK IS HOLY WEEK
By Polk County Press Staff
We are now entering in what the Christian world calls "Holy Week." It is the most religious of all of the weeks on the Christian calendar.
To be sure, some branches of Christianity differ a bit on. Orthodox Christianity has a different calendar for this historical time in The Bible.
But nonetheless, it is observed.

Spirit Led and Bible Fed, "Grace & Mercy"
By Joel Evers , Pastor Southside Baptist Church
President Franklin D. Roosevelt died unexpectedly in 1945. Harry S. Truman then became the 33rd President of the United States. He faced a difficult task, leading us through the ending of World War II, and the post-war recovery. Most of Europe was devastated. Bombs, rockets, and artillery shells had ruined crops, fields, and infrastructure. In 1947, Secretary of State George C. Marshall drew up a plan to assist Europe’s recovery from the war. The Marshall Plan, as it is known, included 13 billion dollars in economic aid.
