Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Christmas and 2024 are in the rear-view mirror. Yesterday many folks welcomed 2025 with parties, fireworks, TV ballgames, and traditional New Year’s Day family dinners.
Of course, some folks made resolutions.
As photos show, Clarksbury Methodist and Salem Methodist churches held Christmas programs the Sunday before Christmas, both well-attended. The Clarksbury children presented “The Christmas Story” at the 10 a.m. worship service. The Salem folks presented “The First Christmas” followed by snacks and fellowship that Sunday evening.
A country breakfast sponsored by the V-Point Ruritans will be 7-10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 1.
ur community sends get-well wishes to David Burgess, Brenda Campbell, and Diane Owens. David has been hospitalized with a brain-bleed from a previous fall and is in intensive care at Forsyth Medical Center. Brenda is having diagnostic tests as she has not been well since recuperating from her recent hospitalization. Diane was hospitalized with an infection and has been recuperating at home since Wednesday of last week.
Rose Marie Johnson remains in the therapeutic unit of Cone Medical Center of Greensboro. Michele Dyson remains in rehab at Shepherds Center in Atlanta. Caleb Williams remains in rehab at Ronald McDonald House of Durham.
Join us in prayer for the Lord’s divine healing upon David, Brenda, Diane, Rose Marie, Michele, Caleb, and other residents who are having health problems. Continue to pray for the families affected by the massive flooding and destruction caused by Hurricane Helene, especially now that the frigid days of winter abound.
