Gordonsburg/ Little Swan News

The weather has been more like winter again this past week and the temperatures at night have been in the thirties some nights. Everywhere you look there is leaves and more leaves and the trees are not yet completely bare. We have had some rain which is really welcome because we are below the level we usually get for the fall.

Those I know of who are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Kasey Baker, Margie Barber, Joyce Barnes, Colene Beasley, Lynn Brown, Linda Butler, Gertie Carroll, Spencer Clark, Robert and Pat Dickson ,Jerry Edwards, Joe Garner, Ophelia Green, Darrell Hinson, Wanda Holloway, Debbie Johnston, Florine Johnston, Bobby Kilpatrick, Tom Kilpatrick, Denny King, Monette King, Claire Elizabeth Mayberry, Ronnie Lewis, Doug Miller, Howard Miller, Jackie McFall, Jerry Morton, Carla Murphy, Joy Orman, Roger Pace, Debbie Pierce, Harry Runions, Bill and Evelyn Seiber, Tina Sharp, Bobby Simmons, Johnnie Faye Skelton, Terry Stutts, Jeff Tatum, Diane Williams, Doug Williams, and Annette Williams. Some in the area are still having covid and many have RSV be careful where you go and be safe and try to stay away from large crowds. Remember these in your daily prayers that they might be better and for any others that need prayers.

We wish a happy birthday to Abby Grace Carroll and Leyton Kelly he 25th, Blake Kauffman the 26th, Kendall Gates and Wesley Haigh the 27th, Chase Odom, Joe Bates, Robert Pierce, Karli Bennett the 29th, and Brody Clayton and Greg Herring the 30th. We wish for these a very happy birthday and many more years to celebrate life.

Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving holiday and be safe if you are travelling. May your week and month be filled with happiness and good health and remember to give God thanks for all the blessings we have for many nations in the world do not have the freedoms we enjoy.

This past Thursday my sister, Mary Ann and I joined the Primetimers group on an outing to the Catfish Campus in Columbia for a meal and fellowship and a guest speaker Jeremy Butt who is a very interesting young man, and we enjoyed his stories from his fellowship with primetimers he had worked with in the past. It was a very interesting night and good food and fellowship with others.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones this past week. These are the ones I know about Douglas James King, Earline D Harris, Cynthia Louise Showers, Allen Stanley Wayne Hawks, Jackie Wayne Halbrooks, and Charles Michael “Mike” Rochelle. Prayers for these families and any others about which I may not know.

Praying that you and your family enjoy the week coming up and remember those who are less fortunate and pray for those you know who are in need.
