The Clarksbury Methodist Youth and their leaders recently went on a 3-day construction mission trip to Red Springs. As photos show, the group worked on repairing damage to two homes. Part of the kitchen ceiling in one home had collapsed. They replaced the ceiling with sheetrock and finished the mudding and sanding. The other home had been damaged by fire. They laid new LVP flooring in the living room and cleaned other floors. Homeowners were pleased, and Clarksbury team members were blessed to share the love of Jesus Christ and to help others.

Sue Jones and Dianne Owens have both improved and are recuperating at their homes. Terry Wayne Dyson and Caleb Williams continue medical treatments.  Join us in prayer for the Lord’s divine healing and blessings upon these residents and others who are having health problems.

Also, remember in prayer Jacob and Madison Queen;  her grandfather Jimmy “Jim” Campbell died Sunday of last week at his home in Cleveland after a lengthy illness.
