Weekly Announcements
Special Friend for December
Everyone likes to be remembered, cared for, and reminded that they are loved, so each month we recognize special friends in our church family who need a little extra care and would love to receive your cards, calls, and visits. Our December Special Friend is Steve Mahovlich. Please send him a card or note to let him know you are thinking of him. His address is 204 Laurell Drive, Eden, NC 27288. He is in the Rehab Center at UNC Rockingham, but his mail is being picked up from his home address above.
