Monday, Sept. 4 is Labor Day and many families in County Line will be traveling to the beach and mountains.  Here’s wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.

Due to the holiday, the V-Point Ruritans have canceled the country ham and sausage breakfast scheduled for Saturday, Sep. 2.  The Ruritans look forward to seeing you at their breakfast in October.

The annual Iredell County Agricultural Fair begins tomorrow (Friday) and will continue through Saturday, Sept. 9. Many of our farm families will show produce and livestock. ECA and school clubs FFA, FHA, and 4-H will be having exhibits. Our community sends best wishes to all entrants and hope they bring home lots of blue ribbons.

Some of our area churches including Society Baptist will be ministering to the fair workers during their stay in Iredell. They will be providing bottled water, meals, haircuts, etc.

Society homecoming is Sunday, Sept. 17, followed by revivals at 7 p.m. Sept.18-20.

Caleb Williams was hospitalized last week and has taken his last in a series of chemotherapy treatments;  please pray that the tumor on his liver has shrunk.  Lorene Macemore remains in rehab at Rowan Regional Medical Center.  Alice Waugh and Mildred Beck remain in rehab at Davie Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.  Join us in prayer for the Lord’s divine healing upon Caleb, Lorene, Alice, Mildred, and others who have health problems.

Word has been received of the death of George Woodward, husband of the late Elizabeth “Lib” Koontz. Remember in prayer his family.  Eaton Funeral Home (336-751-2148) is serving the family.  Current arrangements are visitation at Eaton from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 2 followed by graveside service at 1 p.m. at Salem Methodist Cemetery.
