Hi! I'm Beverly (Amburgey) Kendall, and the picture you see posted above is my "vintage" cheerleading sweater. It's still in great shape except for one small moth hole.

It is in my heart to give away the sweater by means of a drawing. Uniting Trojan alumni together for a purpose is also a wish of mine. I would love for us as a group to leave our mark on Montgomery County youth, not in retrospect, but in regard to the future. The first opportunity is awaiting us, I truly believe.

For the past 20 years, my family has attended the First Church of God, commonly known as the "big church" here in Mt. Sterling. We are currently in a campaign correctly titled "Worth It" to build a new youth ministry building. Click here to read more about this venture. Also, please consider making a donation to this timely cause.




There is a deadline we are working with. If you know anything at all about me, you know that I am always late. :( The campaign officially ends on Sunday, April 25. Plans are to have a Trojan gathering on Saturday, April 17 where we'll draw a winner for the sweater, enjoy a time of fellowship, and announce the total of our gift for this student ministry center.

I also invite you to share your MSHS Trojan memories by replying to this and other posts. My hope is that "The Sweater" can serve as a catalyst both to help us remember and to help us consider the way we can "pay it forward" for Montgomery County youth.

So leave a comment and you'll automatically be entered in the drawing. Please consider making a gift to this important project. Be sure to mark your gift "Worth It--The Sweater" so that we can track our grand total. Click here for online giving.

If you'd prefer to send a check, make your check payable to First Church of God and note that it is for "Worth It--The Sweater." Mail it to First Church of God, 1051 Camargo Road, Mt. Sterling, KY 40353.

Thanks for visiting! I look forward to hearing from you.

  1. There's one advantage in having a last name that used to begin with A - you get to go FIRST. I am joyfully mailing in my check tomorrow with "Worth It - The Sweater" on the memo line. I'm so excited.

  5. Mom,
    I really don't want the sweater but I would like to help you with your cause. Growing up in Mount Sterling, I know that teenagers there tend to have a lot of free time on their hands and what better way to spend that time learning about God. Count me in as well. Love ya
