The Rev. Joe Powlas
Please remember Indian Creek Presbyterian, Cow Creek Presbyterian and First Presbyterian in Booneville in the passing of their beloved minister and friend, Joe Powlas.
Joe's passing marks the end of an era. Having faithfully served the Owlsley County area for 65+ years as a Pastor and Spiritual guide, Joe set an example of fidelity to mission and ministry unparalleled. Many Pastors in our midst serve faithfully in their call but Joe is a rare case. Given how transient our world is these days, I highly doubt we will see someone serve like this in my lifetime. Joe loved the church. Joe loved Cow Creek. He did what he was called to do until the very end of his life. Not many of us can or will be able to say that. Thanks be to God for Joe's life and ministry and may God comfort those who grieve this loss. -Rev. Philip Lotspeich
Joe devoted his life to the church. His only family are the members and friends who attend the churches and community he serves. Condolences should be sent to the congregations of:
Cow Creek Presbyterian
Rt. 1
Booneville, KY 41314
Indian Creek Presbyterian
HC64 box 643
Booneville, KY 41314
First Presbyterian
Rt. 1
Booneville, KY 41314
The Presbytery staff attended the service for Joe on Wednesday. For most of the folks there, Joe was the only minister they have ever had. It was a graveside service that Joe had planned himself. It was brief, but very meaningful. Here's a copy of the bulletin from the service.

 Please let your high school students know about the annual Burnamwood Spirit Walk Retreat. Rev. Wanda B. Olive will be leading the Retreat. It begins at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 5 and ends on Sunday, Feb. 7 at 11:00 a.m. Everyone needs to eat on their own before they get to camp on Friday evening (no cooks). The other meals will be provided by the cooks, as long as we have at least 15 participants registered. So get the word out! Register on-line at http://www.burnamwood.net.
This camp is a quiet, reflective retreat in the place that we love. It is a time to get away from daily pressures, to explore different spiritual practices, and to come back home to Burnamwood. We will be mindful of the weather conditions, and will let you know about any changes to the schedule. Check the Presbytery email and Camp Burnamwood Facebook page for more information.
Can't wait to see you back home at Burnamwood!
Blessings,
Wanda B. Olive
