Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Folks at Society Baptist homecoming enjoyed a barbecue dinner and fellowship after a homecoming message by the Rev. Brent Spry.  Founded in 1821, Society Baptist is the oldest existing church in our community.

Upcoming community events: a fish fry fundraiser for Michele Dyson beginning at 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28 at New Hope Baptist; singing at 11 a.m. worship Sunday, Sept. 29 at Calvary Baptist; V-Point Ruritan country breakfast from 7-10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 5 at the V-Point Building; and homecoming at Piney Grove AME Zion Sunday, Oct. 13, followed by revival Tuesday, Oct. 15-Wednesday, Oct. 16.

Our community sends get-well wishes to Clarksbury Pastor Charlie and Patricia Curtis and Hazel Smoot.  Charlie delivered his sermon from home last Sunday as the couple were isolating at home with covid. Hazel is recuperating at home after being hospitalized with pneumonia.

Michele Dyson remains in the burn center of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. Her vitals are good and remain steady. She has a procedure for her wounds every three days and receives physical and occupational therapy every other day. She was to have another surgery for grafts this week.

Terry Dyson continues medical treatments as results remain good.  Caleb Williams continues to do well as he waits for doctors to decide upon a partial liver resection;  he has been able to attend school for the entire day but is tired when he returns home.

Join us in prayer for the Lord’s divine healing and blessings upon Pastor Charlie and Patricia, Hazel, Michele, Terry, Caleb, and others who are having health problems.  Remember in prayer Starr Rogers Burgess and family;  her sister Judith Dunn died Friday, Sept. 6, at her home in Hubert.
