Hello to all our readers. The new year is here and first month is almost past and gone. So many things have happened in the new year.
I live on Surf Road in Sopchoppy. The old home of Charlotte and John Rosier is not there anymore. It was a first of many for the community: a home for the sick, people who needed a caretaker, hospice care, foster care, funeral home care, until service arrived. When there were homeless people, the Rosiers could always find an extra place for them to stay.
One of the things I remember about the Rosier home was no one went hungry. There was always a pot of some kind of food and cornbread was in the oven.
Skipper Temple Church of Christ will have its annual Woman Conference on Jan. 31 at noon. There will be great speakers, powerful testimonies, praise and worship, a hat show and much more. You are invited to come enjoy this fellowship.
The Spirit and Truth Christian Fellowship will have a breakfast felloship on Feb. 7 at 11 a.m. with a $15 donation. Sit-in or to go. Host pastor Elder Bernard Plummer.
We wish a happy birthday to Legend Fryson, Feb. 8; Bernard Ross, Feb. 12; Jolesia Wood, Timothy Wood, both Feb. 14; Dionte Ceavin, Furmesia Rosier, both Feb. 22. We wish a happy belated birthday to Mother Vera Gavin.
Our prayers and concern go out to all the sick and shut-in, those in the nursing homes, hospitals, jails, the homeless, and all those in need.
