Birthday wishes to: Austin Ottone and Jo Frazier on Aug. 6; Zira Wilson on Aug. 8; Gary Allen, Terry Allen and Walker Daniel Reeves on Aug. 9; and Phillip Seats on Aug. 10. Happy snniversary to Jamie and Wendi White on Aug. 6.  If you would like a birthday or anniversary listed in this column, please let me know.

New Union welcomes everyone to Sunday School at 9 a.m. and worship service at 10 each week. A Blessing Box is full and ready for those in need.

Ijames Baptist Church’s worship service is each week at 10:30 a.m. Bible Study is each  Sunday evening from 5-6 and TeamKID is held each Sunday at the same time for children, ages 3 years-6th grade.  Ijames is collecting non-perishable items for a Blessing Box on the church grounds, which has a produce stand. Anyone with an over abundance of garden vegetables may place their bounty on the stand to help those in need.  Anyone in need may take what they can use. I failed to thank those who helped get the VBS information in last week’s column, Pam Branham, Sharon McDaniel, and Megan Favre for all they do for Ijames Baptist and the Sheffield News.

A time of prayer is held at Liberty Wesleyan Church each Sunday at 9:30 a.m., followed by Sunday School at 10 and Worship at 11. Choir practice is held each Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Vacation Bible School at Liberty Wesleyan is scheduled for Aug. 19 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The theme is “Let The Little Children Come Unto Me”. There will be food, crafts, Bible lessons, and a bounce house with water, so bring a towel.

Community Covenant invites you to join them on Sundays at 10:45 a.m. and 6 p.m. for worship and on Wednesday evenings at 6 for Bible study.

Steve Boger and Nanearle Hayes celebrated their birthdays at the BoTyme Jam on Thursday. Steve’s wife, Kandace surprised him with a birthday cake for all. Wishing both these folks a very happy birthday. Steve Boger, a great musician and singer, has appeared at “Saturday Night in the Grove” for the past two Saturday nights. It’s always great seeing our Davie talent recognized on the big screen. Congratulations Steve, we’re all very proud of you.

If you like to play music or just enjoy listening and dancing, check out the Meatlocker Jam on Mondays from 6:30-9:30 and/or BoTyme each Thursday from 6:30-8:30. For more information and location, contact me.

Gaining Ground’s original band members got together for the opening of music on Friday nights at Maw Maw’s Kitchen in Mocksville.  Music will be each week from 6-8 p.m .with local talent.

Some names were incorrectly reported in the news column last week with the photo of Paulette and Jim Charlton. I’m reprinting this week with the correct names to make sure their wedding book is correct.
