I hope everyone weathered the storm over the weekend, especially on Sunday. Glad for the rain, but wow! So many tornado warnings here and across South Georgia. We came through fine, but holding our breath as family members were driving across Georgia, through the storm, eventually arriving safely in Wakulla.

Next Sunday, Feb. 11, there will be the monthly Second Sunday Sing at the Woodville United Methodist Church, at 6 p.m., followed by a delicious supper and fellowship. Everyone is welcome, and I hope to see you there!

Please keep Thelma Watts in your prayers as she continues to improve; Pam Adams also needs our prayers as she recovers from a badly sprained ankle and wrist.

For many of us, the death of “11”, Coach Mike Martin, marked the end of an era and a legend. Please keep his family in your prayers during this sorrowful time. His unfailing decency, kindness, and faithfulness will be missed, but never forgotten.

Ash Wednesday services will be held on February 14th, which is also Valentine’s Day (of course!). Please join us at the Wakulla United Methodist Church at 6 p.m. as we begin the Lenten season in anticipation of an ever triumphant Easter.

We continue to plan for several fun and educational events in March. The Battle of Natural Bridge will be held in Woodville, March 1st through the 3rd; Wakulla Wonderful will be the following Saturday, March 9th, in Crawfordville; and on March 16th the Woodville Founder’s Day Festival will celebrate the amazing, unique history of North Florida.
Put these special events on your calendar now!
