We will have a Gideon speaker at Clifford’s Grove Baptist Church this Sunday, February 21. Members, please come and let’s support the Gideons. They need our help to buy Bibles to give out here in our country and to countries around the world. ƒWe were saddened by the death of Addison Hallford Friday morning. He grew up in Lundberg and was always a happy-go-lucky guy. He will be missed. Friends and relatives attended his graveside service at Sandy Cross Methodist Church cemetery Sunday afternoon. Sincere sympathy is extended to his family. ƒSympathy is extended to the family of Pat Wynne of Oglethorpe County. He was a longtime Gideon and was a charter member of the Washington and Lincolnton Camp. James Sherrer attended his funeral at Lexington Baptist Church Thursday afternoon. ƒJames and Judy Braxton spent the day Wednesday with James III and little Emmie in Hull. ƒPam McCarty visited Stacy and Dusty Kay, Madison, and baby Emmie in Sharon Tuesday. ƒJohn and Trudy Sutherland carried her mother, Juanita Bradfrod, to Thomson after services at Clifford's Grove Baptist Church to celebrate Valentine's Day with lunch at Ryans. Brad Sutherland and Blair McMichaels joined them there. ƒPam McCarty and Cheryle Holesclaw spent Wednesday with Cheryle's parents, John and Rosa White, at Autumn Village, a retirement home in Jackson. ƒJames and Keeley Lance of Augusta and Chris and Elizabeth Conway of Athens visited Willard and Sue Lance over the weekend. ƒI saw Rev. and Mrs. John McMillian of Eatonton at a meeting at the Georgia Baptist Center recently and they told me that John Jr. and Christa now have another little boy, Joseph (called Little Joe). They had three sons, John, Jake, and Josh, when John became our pastor at Clifford's Grove from September 2002 until August 2004. They also have a daughter, almost two years old. John is now pastor at Crossroads Baptist Church in Eatonton. ƒWasn't the snow beautiful? It came and went just right (for me). I know the children were disappointed when it melted so soon. ƒEnjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
