To reach Woodlawn church, turn at Harmons Clothing store on Coulson Church Road. Then, almost immediately, turn right on Woodlawn Road. The church is directly across from Woodlawn School.

Shiloh United Methodist Church on Airport Road, Hillsville, will present a contemporary play, "Are You Coming?" December 27, at 6:30 p.m.
The invitations have been sent and the decorations put up. Now, a twelve-year-old-boy (whose identity becomes apparent as that of Jesus) waits for his guests to arrive at his birthday party. But as one person after another acknowledges the day in his or her own fashion while rejecting the invitation, the boy begins to despair that no one has truly remembered the meaning of Christmas. Following the play, there will be a birthday party for Jesus in the Fellowship Hall.

I almost missed the announcement of Stevie Wonder's designation as a UN-Messenger of Peace. That lead to the page - http://www.un.org/sg/mop/ - a most agreeable lot.
