On April 27, I attended a birthday celebration for my granddaughter, Courtney Terrell. Everyone had a good time and the food was delicious. I also got to see four of my greatgrandchildren, Nolan, Ellie, Addison and Willow. What a treat for me!
High school seniors, have fun during the next weeks coming up with graduation ceremonies. Please be safe driving. From Vesuvius, we wish you the very best in your future!
Blessings to everyone in the upcoming week!

High Bridge combined the two adult Sunday school classes (for month of May only) into a new adult Sunday school class with the pastor’s wife, the Rev. Dr. Amy Willis, as a very knowledgeable teacher. She is an ordained minister and a professor at Lynchburg College.
The afternoon circle meets Tuesday, May 13, at 6.
Belated congratulations for their recent 65th anniversary in April to two couples in Stoner Hollow ‒ Wayne Lee and Annette Hickman and also Lloyd and Esther Pennington.
Scholarship Sunday will be observed May 18.
High Bridge is preparing for its 255th anniversary celebration at the end of September.
The food pantry board met April 28 and elected John Pollock president to replace Dave Van Osten who is retiring as president but continues to serve the pantry in many other ways. Members thanked Dave for his years of outstanding service as president. Other officers will remain in their present positions.
The food pantry will open promptly at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 10, and close at 11 a.m. The High Bridge congregation is collecting boxed mac and cheese for the food pantry for May.
