St. John Lutheran/Bellville
Congregational picnic is Sunday
The text for this coming week-
end at Bellville St. John Lutheran
Church will be Revelation 7: 9-
17. It contains the picture of such
a large crowd before the throne
that they cannot be counted.
What does this say to us now?
St. John will be holding its 22nd
annual congregational picnic this
coming Sunday at the congrega-
tion's retreat center. The day be-
gins with worship services by the
lake at 10:30 a.m. A barbecue,
dinner, games, fellowship, silent
auction, bingo, and 4 p.m. lunch
will round out the day. Meal
reservations are available at St.
John's church office and at
Langes I & II.
The 8 a.m. service and Sunday
School are canceled for that Sun-
day. The Saturday 7 p.m. service
as well as the Sunday Special
Communion at 3:30 p.m. will be
held as usual. St. John is also in
charge of the two local nursing
home services. The Gospel
Singers will assist Pastor Rotter
with these services.
At the invitation of the church
council, Gideon representative
Mike Newman gave a Temple
Talk at all three services. He
spoke about the Gideon' s work
which is distribution of Bibles.
The Austin-Waller Counties
Camp of which Mike Newman is
a member, has distributed 5,500
Bibles and New Testaments in
Austin and Waller counties in the
last year and a half. A free will
offering was given by the mem-
bers of St. John to the Gideon
work.
Interest in the work of the
Gideon society at St. John came
out of the all day session of the
12 Keys Long Range Planning
group last January. Members ex-
press the felt need that St. John
needs to be involved in distribu-
tion of Bibles. Persons of the
Long Range Planning Committee
then learned about the Gideons
and the decision was made to aid
them in their work.

1, Alderman Joe Scranton,
Jr., again ask for your support
and vote in my bid for re-elec-
tion to the City Council, City
of Sealy, Alderman Place #2.
As you may have already noticed my opponent
would have been the incumbent for place #5. Instead
he is seeking election to place No. 2 which is the posi-
tion I currently hold. I have to ask why??? City busi-
ness is serious business, and there is absolutely no
room for “game playing” when you as one of the citizens of are a representative on
City Council. I pledge to you that I shall along with mayor Betty Reinbeck and the
other members of the City Council, continue to provide the "up front" and “hard
working” leadership you deserve. Council is responsible for the total performance
of the City Government. But, the Council, must take care to assure that all actions
are reasonable and prudent, for the total performance of the City Government. An
individual who listens to the concerns and interests of the citizens (that individual
being Joe Scranton, Jr.) can be very effective and dramatic.
Yet one that has his own agenda, who likes to hog, (as in pork fat), the lime-
light, who derives pleasure from embarrassing City Staff and who endeavors to
flaunt authority may succeed temporarily, but, in most cases will soon lose respect,
and effectiveness; when Council members fall into the pattern of the latter descrip-
tion of my opponent, the real losers are the Citizens, and the City as a whole.
My opponent would like for you to believe that he:
1. Is the City’s representative to Region 14 of the Texas Municipal League.
TRUTH: The City does not have such a representative.
2. Is a law-abiding citizen.
TRUTH: He did not stop when a City police officer turned his lights on him for a
possible traffic violation.
3. Single-handedly authored and passed a resolution regarding electric rates that
caused your rates to be lowered.
TRUTH: An attorney hired by the Gulf Coast Coalition of Cities authored the reso-
lution and other necessary information. The City Council of Sealy voted unani-
mously to join the Coalition. No single member of the Council can pass anything;
it must be a majority vote.
4. Single-handedly was responsible for the outlet center locating in Sealy.
TRUTH: My opponent almost caused the City to lose this project because of his
"loose cannon" comments at Council meetings about the developer.
I am committed to truth and honesty in city government!
I believe in the “WE" concept, not the “I" concept.
Citizens of Sealy have continually put your trust in me for twenty years, and I
have continually honored that trust, which was conveyed upon me, by the citizenry
and will continue to do so. If you will re-elect Joe Scranton, Jr. as your Alderman,:;
Place 2, City of Sealy. Please reflect and search your minds, and only after doing
so, vote. VOTE, for Joe Scranton, Jr., Place #2 City Council, City of Sealy, Texas, a
councilman who is trustworthy and who has had to fight to earn your respect. Vote
Joe Scranton, Jr., May 6,1995.1 will appreciate your VOTE.
