Halloween is in the rear view mirror of County Liners but not without celebrations with folks of all ages having a fun time as photos show.
Members of Clarksbury Methodist and Salem Methodist churches appreciate everyone who came and supported their Trunk or Treat events.
Salem Methodist Church will host a fall festival with meal and silent auction fundraiser from 5 – 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9. Festival activities include games, hayrides, cake walks, etc. The meal menu includes chicken stew, chicken dumplings, hotdogs, and desserts. Donations will benefit accident victim Michele Dyson and 3-year old Kingstyn O’Brien, who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma.
Upcoming community events: V-Point Ruritan country breakfast from 7-10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 7 at the V-Point building; breakfast with Santa at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 7 at Clarksbury Methodist; and Christmas cantata “A Season for Joy” at 11 a.m. worship Sunday, Dec. 15 at Society Baptist Church.
Our community extends sympathy to the family of Daniel Joe “Danny” Vannoy, who died Oct. 27 at Wake Forest Baptist Medical ICU after three weeks hospitalization for injuries from a fall at home. A barber in the Triad, he was born in Davie in 1950 to the late Joe and Geraldine Vannoy and was reared on US 64 near Society Baptist, where he was a member and a graveside service celebrating his life was held last Saturday.
Carol W. Holton remains in rehab at Iredell Memorial Hospital. Michele Dyson remains in rehab at Shepherds Center in Atlanta. Terry Dyson continues under medical treatment. Caleb Willams and family await word regarding Caleb’s liver transplant.
Join us in prayer for the Lord’s divine healing and blessings upon the above residents and others who are having health problems. Pray there will be a donor match for Caleb very soon. Pray for the Lord’s support and comfort upon the family of Danny; he was the first cousin of Eddie Porter and Kay P. Boan of County Line and Donna McLaughlin, formerly of County Line.
Remember in prayer the family of Lockley Neely, who died last Thursday; Lockley was the former wife of Shane Porter and the mother of his children and mother of the grandchildren of Eddie Porter and the late Delane M. Porter. Continue to remember in prayer the families and areas affected by the massive flooding and destruction caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
