Have we had our blackberry winter?
New Center news
Is our pretty weather here to stay or do we have one more cold snap to come? I know that the dogwood trees have bloomed but are the blackberries blooming yet? Spring is such a wonderful time of the year. We have got to enjoy all of the flowers and their beautiful colors but be careful because we have to endure pollen, bees and wasps. Congratulations to Todd and Taunton Griffith on the birth of their son, Jude Thomas Griffith who was born Tuesday, Mar. 22, weighing six pounds and 10 ounces and measuring 18 and one-half inches long. His proud grandparents are Mark and Karen Gr1ffith and Tom and Vicki Clackley.

Christian love and sympathy is extended to Zac and Michelle Ferrell in the loss of Michelle’s grandmother, Estelle Teague.
