Portis joins together
In March 2008, the small, northwest Kansas town of Portis sustained a devastating loss with the death of Jeffery Scott Noel.
Since that time, in an effort to remember and celebrate the life that was taken from them, area residents have gathered monthly at Grace Brethren Church, Portis, for a series of prayer services.
Monday, another such service will be held, although the theme of the evening might differ slightly than originally expected.
With the conviction last week of Salina resident Kenneth Eugene Wilson, who was charged with Noel’s murder and the burglary of his home, the service’s theme of “remembrance” could also feature a good deal of praise.
“Since the good Lord has blessed us with a good verdict, there will be some praise items too, I’m sure,” said Darrel Wolters, a member of the church committee organizing the event. “It would have been really disheartening if the outcome hadn’t come out like it did.”
