Spring fling in Adrian



From a cold freeze to a warm breeze

Old Man Winter is trying to fool us into thinking the cold is returning. Low temperatures dip below freezing for many areas tonight. Don't worry, warmer temperatures return tomorrow and continue through the weekend. Breezy conditions also return with wind gust around 25 MPH.

Obituary - Elizabeth Ann Florez

Elizabeth Ann Florez, age 75 of Clinton Missouri, passed away in Pittsburg Kansas Sunday, March 28, 2021. Known to all her family and friends as Liz, she was born on August 1, 1945. The daughter of Lawrence and Imo Johnson Leach, in Sheldon Missouri. 

She was a die hard Chiefs fan, who loved watching drag racing, collecting lions, was an avid home shopping connoisseur, and most of all, spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Liz had a larger then life heart, even in her toughest times, she always made the very best of it, seeing the good in anything, and anyone. 

As a born again Christian, she held strong to her faith in her Lord and savior, that he would carry her through. As firmly as she held her faith, her "words of wisdom", held the same. Liz was never afraid to give you insight, opinion, or if you were one of the kids, a good "what's what", of a talking to. Liz was nothing short of a big heart, head strong angel, that God placed on this earth, to teach the one's closest to her, some of life's greatest lessons.

She was processed in death by a son Michael (Mikie) Senter and brother, Scotty. 

Liz is survived by her daughter Debbie Gibson (Danny), her son Larry Senter (Holly), two grandchildren, Stefanie and Tiffanie (Michael), six great grandchildren, Kenny Madisann, Leah, Sidnie, Danica, and Cale, along with many other family and friends she's held near and dear to her heart through the years.

The family is planning a celebration of life, at a later date. The family suggests any contributions be made to a church of your choosing.

Walk your way to good health

Hello Butler! Are you looking for a group to run or walk with, someone to encourage you to get healthier? One week from today we will start a 5k training. All fitness levels are welcome. We will start with the basics. The first three weeks we will work on balance and strength.

Balance is NOT something we are born with, but develop. Good balance can prevent injuries while running or walking. Most injuries are due to weak feet and weak core! So let's build a good foundation.

How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose FOUNDATION is in the dust, who are crushed like the moth. Job 4:19

We will meet at 1st Baptist Butler every Thursday at 6pm. Come to the North door, down the stairs to fellowship hall.

12 week program, no charge!

Questions, call me (Tammy)660 424 3711
