As photos show, kids made sure to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas Saturday at Clarksbury. The highlight of Christmas events is church programs.
The sanctuary choir of Society Baptist will present the cantata “A Season for Joy” at the 11 a.m. worship service Sunday, Dec. 15. Church members invite everyone for this service of praise and thanks for the birth of Jesus Christ, God’s only Son.
The sanctuary choir of Calvary Baptist will present the cantata “The Christmas Story” at 7 p.m. this Sunday. Church members invite everyone to this production of the birth of Jesus Christ followed by fellowship and finger foods.
Upcoming community events: Christmas program at 10 a.m. worship Sunday, Dec. 22 at Clarksbury Methodist; Christmas program “Hope” during the worship service Sunday, Dec. 22 at Piney Grove AME Zion followed by dinner in the fellowship hall; and special worship with guests “Anointed Grace” at 11 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 29 at Calvary Baptist followed by dinner in the fellowship hall.
We send get-well wishes to Martha Ketchie Lambert, who broke her ankle Thanksgiving and had outpatient surgery last Friday. Amanda Sharpe has improved and is recuperating at home. Rose Marie Johnson remains in the therapeutic unit of Cone Medical Center of Greensboro.
Michele Dyson remains in rehab at Shepherds Center in Atlanta. Her discharge date is scheduled for Jan. 7; this will give her time for extra therapy for her arm that required several surgeries. She still has some blood pressure problems. Michele remains positive and strong in spirit.
Caleb Williams has been moved from intensive care to a regular room at Duke University Medical Center. He continues to improve and gain strength; last week he walked for the first time since his transplant surgery. As soon as able, he will transfer from the hospital to a room at the nearby McDonald House.
Join us in prayer for the Lord’s divine healing upon Martha, Amanda, Rose Marie, Michele, Caleb, and other residents who are having health problems. Remember in prayer those residents who are in assisted-living centers and in nursing centers during this holiday season. Continue to pray for the families affected by the massive flooding and destruction caused by Hurricane Helene.
