Sunday School attendance was 69 at Seven Springs, with several arriving for preaching.
Jeannie Griffin wanted to thank her friends and family for being there for her during her time of need, especially for all of the flowers and cards she received. She extends special thanks to her husband Curtis and son Bobby and his girlfriend, Linda, for "being with me all the way," and Michelle Henderson for "making sure I am eating right and not doing too much ... love you sis." Finally, she would like to extend a very, very special thanks to everyone at Livingston County Hospital for being so good and so kind to her and her family. Last but not least, Jeannie says, "Dr. Barnes, you're the best. You have always been there when I was in need."
Happy birthday to McKenzie Noffsinger (Aug. 21) and Mason Stinnett (Aug. 26). Both turn 17. Also happy birthday to Susie Lott (Aug. 31).
