By VERNA BROCKIt is currently raining as I type, and I am grateful for the respite. Rain seems to be the only relief from the oppressive heat we’re going to get this summer (and probably Fall). I plan on enjoying it while it lasts!
The Woodville Methodists hosted their monthly “2nd Sunday Sing” and dinner with a talented young musician, Anna Wescoat. Some of you may know her from the Rivertown Community Church, where she brings worship music to everyone. What a gift! Next month there will be a Bluegrass band, and I can hardly wait.
I am so overjoyed to report baby Sebastian is growing stronger every day, and is an absolute picture of health. Thank you all for your faithful prayers that are supporting his continued recovery. Miracles surround us every day.
I am busy planning and recruiting for the Woodville Founders Day festival, which will be held on Saturday, March 16th at the Woodville Library and the Recreation Park. This will be the 10-year anniversary (not counting Covid years, sigh) and we are planning a HUGE celebration! Mark your calendars, friends!
I have some truly sad news too. Our friend Anice (Sissy) Taylor-Maloy died after a valiant battle with cancer, a heart attack and stroke. She worked with Ed at St. Marks Powder back when everyone knew it as “Olin” (we STILL call it Olin). We reared our children together through all the milestones in life, and celebrated the arrival of grandchildren. Rest in peace Sissy, and rise in glory. Please keep her family and friends in your prayers.
We learned this weekend of the loss of Fred Hughes, a former guard for General Dynamics. He died last week, please lift his family in prayer.
Also in need of prayers are the friends and family of Tim Givens,who found peace on July 6th. He has left us far too early and will be deeply missed. Your continued prayers for the Sloan/Peacock families, the Carter families, the Turner family, the Vickery family, the Lynn Family, the Kendrick family, and the Grimes family, as well as everyone who is battling pain and illness.
