It was two score and zero years ago that Faith Baptist Church landed in Southbridge as part of a “New Churches Now” program promoting (actually, “planting”) Baptist churches in New England. Southbridge was selected, at least in part, because it was seen as a communi- ty in need of a little more spiritual culti- vation. But it was also deemed suitable soil for that spiritual planting, growth, and eventual harvest. The fledgling congregation began meeting – on Jan. 2, 1972 – in the audito- rium at Southbridge High School, where it remained until property was pur- chased and buildings reconfigured to reflect the faith and aspirations of its The sign out front, at 515 Dennison Drive, says it all. growing membership in 1977.

DUDLEY — Families came together last weekend — with their stuff — to help one of their own in need. Members of the Calvary Assembly of God Church in Dudley all lent a hand to help to one of their fellow parishioners during a community yard sale Saturday, Sept. 1, at their Southbridge Road facility. All of the money raised will go directly to the Sweeney family.Bob Sweeney,a Navy veteran, is currently fighting cancer, while he and his wife Judi raise their 14-year old grandson Troy.

One of Only 100 in the U.S., 2012 Jaguar XKR-S a Powerful yet Comfortable Beast

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

It’s been a good summer for me both personally and automotively. I won’t dwell on the personal but it’s been a sum- mer filled with the opportunity to drive cars like the Porsche 911, the Nissan GT- R, and probably, to me, the crèËme de la crèËme, the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S. For me, it just doesn’t get much better than this. The 2012 Jaguar XKR-S, in French rac- ing blue, that I am reviewing is one of only 100 to be shipped to the United States for sale. That level of exclusivity makes me appreciate it that much more above its competition. I’m not normally a snob but out of more than 314 million people in the United States, only 100 can own one. I have left myself succumb to the rarity of this vehicle. From an automotive perspective, some might question my sanity for a couple reasons in selecting this as my car of choice. The first would be because, bar- ring a sudden Powerball win that would be mysterious because I don’t play the lottery, I am most likely never going to find myself in the position to buy any of these sports cars, especially the Jaguar XKR-S, with its price tag of $138,000. The second reason, and this where the car enthusiasts would weigh in, the Porsche 911 would be the de facto winner in the automotive purists world, and the Photos ©© Jaguar Nissan GT-R literally blows the doors off The 2012 Jaguar XKR-S is a stunning mixture of aluminum and chrome that turns heads wherever it goes. by getting from 0-60 35 percent faster (2.7 camber and caster stiffness to transform intervention levels to allow the experi- VITAL STATISTICS seconds for the Nissan vs. 4.2 seconds for the accuracy and weighting of the steer- enced driver to explore the outer edges of Wheelbase: 108.3 inches the Jaguar). ing for greater levels of feedback and pre- the performance envelope, rewarded by Length: 188.7 inches Yet, the Jaguar just tops my list cision.

The XTS is poised right above the CTS in the Cadillac family lineup, which suggests it replaces the DTS. (Cadillac has also discontinued the STS, which will be replaced by some- thing else soon.)
