Leesburg Christian Church has announced that Christmas will be celebrated in its new techno-advanced worship center.
Walking through the front doors of the 1888-built Leesburg Christian Church, the antique look gives the impression of traditional type worship.
However, after a four-year push to build a new worship area began, senior pastor Sammy Harris says that the new worship center will be everything but traditional.

After seven days of closed-session jury selection, the Bass Webb murder trial has been cancelled.
On Monday morning, Harrison County Circuit Judge Jay Delaney entered an order stating that the trial will be continued in a different location due to extensive pre-trial publicity.
The order states that over 150 jurors have been questioned to serve. The court excused some of the potential jurors for various reasons and retained some that were deemed qualified to hear the case.

With the week-and-a-half-long jury selection expected to continue at least through Friday, opening statements are not expected in the Bass Webb murder trial at least until Tuesday, Dec. 13.
Potential jurors have been interviewed individually in closed session this week with the primary focus on the death penalty, according to information from the Circuit Judge’s office.

Nothing says Christmas like a soft, fluffy snow covered ground and smells of Christmas candy and cookies coming from every house up and down the streets of Cynthiana.
The sound of Christmas carols being rung throughout the town from the bells of Saint Edwards Church is enough to remind us all that the holiday season is here.
On almost every window sill will sit a small nativity scene that reminds us all of what Christmas is all about and on every kitchen table there will be a beautiful, deep red sign that ties all holiday cheer into one.
