Wakulla Station News

By VERNA BROCK

School days are right around the  corner, and that requires my standard calls for alertness and caution while driving. Our children will be lining the roadways, waiting for buses, or disembarking in the afternoons.
Eyes open, folks, for those flashing red lights on the big yellow dogs. The least terrible consequence would be a ticket for passing a school bus with flashing red lights. The worst is too awful to contemplate...
Last week I attended the Traffic Safety meeting again, and these meetings are actually very interesting. There are representatives from each of the relevant entities (DOT, the Wakulla County Road Department, the WCSO, Emergency Management office, Highway Patrol, and more) who deal with planning, response and citizen concerns. My hopes for affecting traffic problems in my neighborhood may be concretely addressed with the placement of a no-passing zone in Wakulla Station. It’s a start!
After a summer hiatus, first Sunday Dinner on the Grounds will resume this coming Sunday. Come celebrate Communion with the Wakulla U.M.C. at our 10 a.m. worship service, and join us for some of the best cooking around! It is a wonderful time of faith, food and fellowship.
If you have never had a chance to join the Woodville U.M.C. for their Second Sunday Sing and Supper, now is the time! They provide fabulous music at 6 p.m., followed by delicious suppers every 2nd Sunday of the month.
The Wakulla Methodists are planning on having a third Sunday Sing every month, starting soon. Watch this space for more information.

Birthday blessings for Joyce and David Hinson, Faye Sweeney, Calee and Cale Cox, and Cindy Blackstock. As my dad was fond of saying, another birthday means another year above ground!

Please keep Faye Sweeney, Thelma Watts, Janine Burton, Al Chitwood, Pat Strwawbridge, Donald Garrison, and Sebastian Mosely in your prayers. Baby Sebastian grows stronger every day, and his family can’t wait for the day he finally comes home to stay here in Crawfordville!

So many of our friends and neighbors are struggling with the pain of losing loved ones. Please remember them in your prayers also. I have seen the power of prayer in my own life, and know prayer makes a difference. Our world, and our nation needs our prayerful support, now more than ever.
