August is the beginning of church homecoming time.  It’s a time of fond memories and delicious dinners.  As photos show, homecoming at Clarksbury Methodist was well attended.

Upcoming community events: homecoming at Society Baptist Sunday, Sept. 15 followed by revival at 7 p.m. Sept. 16-18;  singing at 11 a.m. worship Sept. 29 at Calvary Baptist; and V-Point Ruritan country breakfast from 7-10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 5.

Ralph Moore celebrated his 93rd birthday Aug. 19.  He was reared on Ridge and Battle roads and resides in Charlotte. He enjoys hearing from friends and classmates.  Ralph, we send happy birthday wishes and wish you a healthy and happy new year.

Our community extends sympathy to the family of Carl Dwiggins, who died at home after a lengthy illness.  A service celebrating his life was held Thursday of last week at Liberty Baptist. He was laid to rest in the church cemetery.

We send get-well wishes to Michele Dyson, who was critically injured when a tree fell on her vehicle.  Wife of Steven Dyson and daughter-in-law of Hazel D. Smoot, Michele has been in intensive care at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and was scheduled for her third surgery this week.

Terry Dyson continues his medical treatments.  Caleb Williams had good results from his MRI last week. He waits for doctors to decide upon a partial liver resection.  His local doctors have been amazed at his improvement.

Join us in prayer for the Lord’s divine healing and blessings upon Michele, Terry, Caleb and their families and others who are having health problems. Pray for the Lord’s comfort and blessings upon the family of Carl as they miss him.

Here’s wishing everyone a safe & blessed Labor Day.
