A reminder is being sent out to all residents of Elk Creek Lane to please drive slowly and respectfully, especially on the northern end of the lane. Last Tuesday, a beautiful female Persian cat named Fudge, belonging to Frances Brown, was killed. Elk Creek Lane is a quiet, private, one lane, bumpy old country neighborhood road. A speed limit of 10 miles per hour is clearly posted as well as signs that say “Cat Crossing” and “Deer Crossing.” Again, please drive slowly and be mindful of the animals.

Sending birthday wishes to Rhonda Reuther as well as to Faith Baptist Church members Shelley Fitzgerald, Finley Campbell and Bob Tolley.

Sending well wishes of better health, hope and love to my friend Terry Palmer.

Coming up at Faith Baptist Church will be Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 8 a.m. on April 26 and a Song and Praise service on April 30 at 6 p.m.

Many thanks to the deacon Dick Willis for leading a Liturgy of the Word service this past Sunday at St. John’s as well as to Bert Buford and Josh Gardner for providing music for the service. Many thanks to Sallie Theileke for providing food for coffee hour. Next week, the Rev. Brad Laycock will lead a service of Holy Eucharist.

Cakes are needed and appreciated for the upcoming cakewalk on April 22 at 6 p.m. at the Glasgow First Aid building on McCulloch Street. Proceeds will benefit Glasgow Life Saving Crew. To donate a cake, volunteer, or for any questions, call (540) 460-3352.

Road construction continues at the entrance of James River Road from Arnolds Valley Road as crews work to widen the entrance. Work began this past week on the north side of the entrance as well. Orange cones and barrels mark the area and some loose gravel is scattered across both roads near the entrance. Please be mindful when driving through the area, in or out of the Valley when passing through the construction.
