First Presbyterian Church in Branson is celebrating a century of worship and service to its community. The highpoint of the year-long First Century Celebration is Sunday, March 18th when the congregation will celebrate, to the day and nearly to the hour, the establishment of the church 100 years ago.
The worship service will include special music, featuring the accompaniment of Credo Sinfonia, an eight piece orchestra from Russia. Credo Sinfonia is touring the United States under the sponsorship of The Messiah Project in Springfield. The special Sunday service will also incorporate a special history reading and an old fashioned potluck dinner will follow the service.
The Ole Seagull’s Note: First Presbyterian Church is located at 420 W. Main in downtown Branson. Its phone number is 417-334-3468.
The water at Table Rock Dam has been off a lot lately which has made it a lot easier to fly fish the upper end of the Lake. Although the Ole Seagull had not been fishing much the last couple of months the great weather, no generation, the slight overcast, and minimal wind was more than he could resist. In terms of pure numbers, the result was hard to beat, easily 15 to 20 Rainbows per hour using the sized 16 Red Bead Head Midge. It would be hard to conceive of a trout fishing experience that could be more fun for the average person than trout fishing on Lake Taneycomo right now. The fishing report dated Mar. 14, 2007 entitled “The size 16 Red Bead Head Midge starts the season off with a bang!” published in the Branson Courier contains a detailed description of just how good it is and links to four other Lake Taneycomo fishing reports that continue that theme. Fished for a couple of hours on Mar. 14 and it was a “ditto” of what happened on the 13th. Put simply, the trout fishing on Lake Taneycomo is great right now, don’t miss this opportunity!
