A bachelor, James Harmon, came to Indiana from Maine. His family was from Pennsylvania and his father served in the Revolutionary War under Benedict Arnold. President George Washington gave land grants to the Revolutionary War soldiers as there was no money to pay the troops. James came to Indiana in 1821 to collect his father’s land grant. Jimmy lived in a hollow tree and had pigs under the floor to keep him warm while he was in the tree. He built the big barn and baked the bricks for the house which he built during the 1820s and early 1830s. He died in 1863. Having no heirs, he left his farm and possessions to the Methodist Church (Asbury College). During the Civil War, Morgan’s Raiders were at the farm on July 11, 1863. The road which runs in front of the farm was used by General Morgan and his Raiders on their famous raid as they came north from Old Paris. The farm was purchased from the Methodist Church by the family of the current owners. Six generations of family have lived on the farm. Visitors continue to enjoy the Farm’s Tearoom and Winery.

Membership Ministry: The Membership Ministry is responsible for the accuracy and relevance of the names appearing on the weekly Prayer List in the church bulletin. Please take a few moments to review the name(s) or institution(s) you have provided for inclu-sion, make a determination as to the relevance of contin-ued inclusion on the list, and contact Janet in the church office to make any corrections or removals that are ap-propriate; in this manner we can maintain an accurate and manageable Prayer List.
ACES: The potluck suppers and programs sponsored
by the Adult Christian Education Subgroup (ACES) will
not be held in August. Please plan to join us on Thurs-
day, September 7, when we again will share a meal and
begin a study of a five-part DVD series entitled “Who Is
This Man?”
Finance Committee/Reimbursement Policy: The Finance Committee recommended to Session,
which was approved, that a deadline be placed on
submitting receipts for reimbursements and receipts for
“in-kind” giving. In-kind giving is where you purchase
items for the church, like coffee hour supplies or meal
items for the juvenile facility, and you don’t want to be
reimbursed but you want the contribution counted
towards your end-of-the-year giving statement for your
taxes. Effective August 31, 2017, all reimbursements
and in-kind receipts must be submitted by the end of the
following month. All reimbursements and in-kind
receipts incurred for this calendar year not yet turned in
must be submitted by August 31. For example, if you
purchase items in September that need to be reimbursed,
your receipt must be turned in no later than the last
business day of October, which is the 31st. Please
remember to keep items purchased for the church on a
separate receipt from personal items. Please note that
