FR EE Beach Tram Service Underway Popular Transports Return for 2Nd Season FortMyersBeach.news FREE Volume 19, Number 1 “By Islanders, For Islanders” January 4, 2019 Beach Tram Service Underway Popular Transports Return For 2nd Season By Gary Mooney [email protected] Seasonal visitors know that parking on Fort Myers Beach can be a challenge, cutting into both their time enjoying Paradise and their wallet. This year, LeeTran is offering both tram and trolley options to help move people conveniently and inexpensively around the island. “The popular Beach Tram will return to Fort Myers Beach from January 3 through May 1,” said Robert Bodie, the new LeeTran Director. “Hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and we may extend evening service if we see a need. Due to their open nature, trams are free to residents and visitors, rather than the 75-cent trolley fee.” Trams run from Bowditch Point Park, through Lynn Hall Memorial Park and Times Square, then turn around near Matanzas Pass Preserve looping around Bay Road, Oak Street and School Street. “We understand some folks want permanent benches near the turn-around,” said Bodie, “and are evaluating that, to improve the long- term experience.” The trams connect with the Beach Park & Ride Trolleys, that travel from Pine Ridge Rd and Summerlin Square to FMB, at Times Square and the Lovers Key State Park Trolley at Bowditch Point Park, servicing such island attractions as the Fort Myers Beach Public Library, Bay Oaks Recreational Center and Community Pool, Beach Elementary Traveling through downtown FMB, the free tram connects visitors with FMB businesses and restaurants.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Andy Griffith Show Book by Richard Michael Kelly the Untold Truth of the Andy Griffith Show
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Andy Griffith Show Book by Richard Michael Kelly The Untold Truth Of The Andy Griffith Show. Most people know The Andy Griffith Show well; it's one of the most famous classic shows in television history. We all know the story of the small, quaint North Carolina town overrun by several colorful characters. And at the center of Mayberry is solid and steady Sheriff Andy Taylor, played by the one and only Andy Griffith. With his wacky deputy, Barney Fife, at his side, Andy Taylor is the voice of sanity and stabilizing force in Mayberry, keeping its zany residents from causing mayhem in their small town. The show gave us fantastic actors like Don Knotts, Frances Bavier, George Lindsey, Jim Nabors, and Howard McNear, who played memorable characters that are still well known today. And of course, the renowned director Ron Howard got his big break in show business at the age of six, playing Andy Taylor's son, Opie. These are just the essential details that everyone knows about the celebrated Andy Griffith Show . As it would turn out, there was a lot more going on behind the scenes that audiences would never have known. This is the untold truth of The Andy Griffith Show . The Andy Griffith Show was actually a spinoff. Not many people realize this, but The Andy Griffith Show was technically a spinoff of sorts. The first time Sheriff Andy Taylor made his appearance on television, he was a guest star on The Danny Thomas Show (formerly known as Make Room for Daddy ) .

  • “Return to Mayberry”
    SINGLES (Young Adults to Senior Adults) Memphis Conference Single Adult Ministry (MCSAM) invites you to join us at Lakeshore United Methodist Assembly in Eva, Tennessee. We will be hosting a fellowship weekend May 17th-19th entitled “Return to Mayberry” The Mayberry Bible Study: Quote from Stephen Skelton, author of the Mayberry Bible Study: “To teach a lesson, Jesus often told a parable—an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. By using situations from everyday life, parables make spiritual truth more relevant to the listeners. Incredibly, parables compel sincere seekers to uncover the truth, yet cloak that truth from those that would oppose its teaching. For the parables of Mayberry, each story was designed with a lesson in mind. Indeed, many stories that transcend social, racial and cultural barriers today do so because they contain spiritual truth for which all people have a God-given hunger. Accordingly, these Bible studies can not only provide a time of good fellowship, but also equip the church with ways to reach the world beyond.” Throughout the weekend, we will be using Volume 1 of the Mayberry Bible Study. This volume features four lessons and discussions based on episodes from the Andy Griffith Show. Each session will be introduced by watching an episode of the show, then we will work in small groups to answer questions from a study book, and finally we will come back together for large group discussion. Our four lessons will focus on the topics of “Service”, “Peace”, “Commitment”, and “Mercy”. From 1960-1968, Andy Griffith portrayed the role of a “single father” who was the sheriff of the small town of Mayberry, North Carolina.

  • The Gospel in Mayberry – the New Housekeeper Page 1 of 7 Rev
    The Gospel in Mayberry – The New Housekeeper Page 1 of 7 Rev. Mark Pitts, July 25, 2021 Williamson’s Chapel United Methodist Church The Gospel in Mayberry – The New Housekeeper 1 John 4:11 The Gospel in Mayberry – our sermon series for July. In June, it was The Gospel on Sesame Street, and beginning next week, for August, it will be The Gospel at Hogwarts. We are putting ‘our God eyes on,’ as Pastor Jan says, looking for God and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ using creative illustrations. Andy Griffith grew up in a Christian home in Mt. Airy, North Carolina, and he originally studied to be in the ministry before changing his major to music. It is little wonder to find the church and Mayberry intertwined as Griffith patterned Mayberry after his own experiences growing up in the South. When George Lindsay, who played Goober in the series, was asked what he thought of the idea using the series for a Bible class, he replied, "One of the incredible things about every single episode is that Andy insisted each show have a moral point – something good, lofty, and moral.
