I’m so glad fall has arrived and I’m thankful that it’s cooler and for the rain. Ebenezer Baptist Church will have a fall festival November 5. I hope you can come and enjoy the games, food and fellowship. Ebenezer was a little down in attendance Sunday. Some were sick, some out-of-town for one reason or another, and some just plain lazy. Rev. Huyck preached from Hebrews 13 – “Some Things Never Change.” Mr. and Mrs. Paul Peeler placed a lovely arrangement in the church. If you do not have a church family, Ebenezer welcomes you to visit. If you’d like to know more about the church, call our pastor, Rev. Albert W. Huyck Jr. Happy birthday to all of you who will celebrate this week. I have one on October 10 and I’m grateful for every one. Lisa Burt celebrates one on the fifteenth and Richard Phillips, the twelfth. This week I attended revival services at Mt. Zion on Tuesday evening. I also enjoyed supper with them. Wednesday evening I went to Lincolnton to be with the family of Claude Beggs. Afterwards I enjoyed the gospel singing of the Lewis Family. It was really good. I visited residents of Washington Manor and Wilkes Health Care Center Friday. On Sunday I had dinner with my parents, Henry and Blanche Wallace, and got to visit with my sister and her husband. I attended the funeral of my former classmate, Norris Ware of Lincolnton, at the Lincolnton Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. Eight of our classmates were there – maybe more. We express our sympathy and love to this family in their loss. I watched the Braves lose the game Sunday evening. Oh well, maybe next time. William Tuttle of Daleville, Ala., is visiting relatives and friends here. Mrs. Jason Verner (Pam) and Taylor came up from Evans Saturday to visit William.
