Happy belated Imbolc for those of us of Irish and Scottish descent, or Saint Brigid’s Day for Christians, to all who observed on Feb. 1.

Wishing a very happy 90th birthday to Valley resident June Cash from her neighbors and friends! A party was held for her on Sunday at Glasgow Baptist Church.

Also sending birthday wishes to Taylor Cobb, Cindy Blankenship, Lezley Slagle and to Faith Baptist members Jeff Thacker, Bonnie Jenkins and Cindy Thomas.

Sending well wishes to Ron and Boots Williams in Concord, N.C., from their Valley family and friends. Both have been under the weather recently.

Our condolences are extended to the Stalnaker family, remembering Eddie Stalnaker. He will be missed.

Faith Baptist Church’s Valentine’s dinner as well as communion will be held on Feb. 12. Men’s Fellowship Time will be Feb. 15 at 8 a.m. The church will have a clothes closet on Feb. 18 from 10 to 11:30 a.m.

Many thanks to deacon Dick Willis for leading a service of Liturgy of the Word this past Sunday at St. John’s, as well as to Bert Buford and Josh Gardner for providing music for the service. Thanks also to Steve Beck for serving as lessons reader. And thanks to Lynn Williams for hosting coffee hour. Next week Holy Eucharist will be led by the Rev. Brad Laycock.
