The North Jefferson News
Our prayers and thoughts go out for A.J. Miller A.K.A. “The Can Man.” He is recuperating at home at this time, but still needs our prayers.
• Please be in prayer for Joyce Sanford as she battles with some health issues. Her family believes in the power of prayer and I know they would appreciate it.
• Happy birthday to Curt Sanford and Trey Martin on May 28.
• Happy birthday to Debbie Abney on May 29.
• Gardendale-Mt. Vernon United Methodist Church will host a mission yard sale May 28 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and May 29 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Call 631-7631 for more information.
