Breaking Down Barriers: Does Jesus care about accessibility?
By Zoe Hatcher, Lead Pastor | Open Arms Community Church | http://oachurch.com
Mark 2: 1-5 1”A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
Millions of people will go to worship at churches all over America this Sunday but there will be a glaring absence of a large group of people: the handicapped and those with physical disabilities.
A survey in The Journal of Disability and Religion revealed only 10 percent of U.S. churches offered any tangible support to disabled people.
In the story above we see a few of Jesus’ followers who were so dedicated to making sure that all of their friends could get to Jesus that they climbed up on the roof of the house they were meeting in and tore off the roof to make a way for their paralyzed friend to get to Jesus. What they did took courage and physical effort. They didn’t own the property, they could have been fined or punished for what they did, damaging the roof and interrupting the teaching.

District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer reports that the Pennsylvania Superior Court has affirmed the conviction of the Kane woman convicted of numerous gun violations.
Marily Woodford-McMahon was convicted at a jury trial in 2023 of Possession of a Firearm with Obliterated Serial Number (Felony 2); 3 Counts of Receiving Stolen Property (firearms) (Felony 2); 3 counts of Receiving Stolen Property (crossbows) (Misdemeanor 1); 2 counts of Possessing an Offensive Weapon (2 sawed-off shotguns) (Misdemeanor 1); and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (Misdemeanor).
She was sentenced to incarceration of 39 months to 108 months and additional terms in a state correctional facility.
WOODFORD-MCMAHON appealed her case to the Superior Court asserting there was insufficient evidence to convict her of the charges.
By Opinion dated November 14th, the Superior Court affirmed her conviction. In affirming the conviction, the Court noted that the evidence proved beyond a reasonable doubt that she committed the crimes for which she was convicted citing, in part, the location of the firearms – in her bedroom, under her bed, and in her closet and among her personal possessions including her clothes and marijuana she claimed was hers; her “implausible and shifting” statements to police first disclaiming any knowledge of the weapons at all and then admitting she touched one of them; and the close proximity between the date some of the items were stolen and the date State Police searched WOODFROD-MCMAHON’S residence and found them.

The “BIG” and the “First” Shine in Family Deer Harvest at Kinzua Quality Deer Cooperative Deer Check Stations on SR 59 and SR 346
The Family That Hunts Together Stays Together
Bradford, Pa.: Sunday was another exciting day at the two Deer Check Stations operated by the Kinzua Quality Deer Cooperative on SR 59 and 346 in McKean County. The opening weekend gives families time to hunt together and one family from Mt. Jewett, Pa., made the most of that opportunity.
Zane Carlson brought in a buck with the widest inside spread on the antlers, to date, at 19 inches. The massive 7-point by 5-point buck weighed, dressed, at 151 pounds. The pedicels of the mammoth buck measured 37 and 38 mm, and indicated the buck was likely 4 and ½ years old. Check station workers were not able to exactly age the deer by its teeth because the jaw needed to stay intact for mounting. Congratulations, Zane!
Kim Carlson, Zane’s mother, was all smiles as she brought in her first ever buck to the check station on SR 59. Kim and Zane were hunting together on the Allegheny National Forest and shot almost simultaneously at two bucks that exited a regeneration stand of trees. Kim’s 4-point by 4 -point buck was aged at 2 and ½ years old by its teeth, and it weighed 118 pounds. Congratulations, Mom!
The check stations are open again on Monday, 12/2, and Saturday, 12/7, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. both days. All deer will be weighed, measured, and aged for FREE for hunters. Each hunter bringing in a deer for checking will also receive a ticket on a cash raffle. Hunters bringing in antlerless deer will be eligible for a $500 raffle. Hunters bringing in an antlered deer will be eligible for a $250 raffle.
Hunters will also receive an orange KQDC hat for bringing their deer to the check station.
The KQDC is managed for Quality Deer and a Quality Forest Ecosystem to provide a Quality Hunting experience. Other goals are to provide quality forests for landowners to manage for timber products, local employment, numerous outdoor recreation activities, and quality habitat for all wildlife.
The Kinzua Quality Deer Cooperative is an on-going demonstration, begun in 2000, of how hunting can be used to meet the goals of multiple publics for managing deer. A partnership of forest landowners, forest managers, biologists, hunters, and local businesses developed the program which relies on hunters to manage deer density on a representative forested area. The program is conducted on a 74,000-acre forested demonstration area in northwestern Pennsylvania.
