Wednesday News for December 27, 2023
Final Wednesday of December (of the year!)
Sunny, dry and cooler for the FINAL weekend of 2023
Spring begins on March 19, 2024 (just 12 ‘Mondays’ away?)
Today is Cut out Snowflakes day. It’s also Fruit Cake day!!!???
Remember: ‘Stressed’ is just ‘desserts’ spelled backwards!
Rejoicing in what God has done in 2023 and what He will do into the New Year! Just a reminder. You can make your one-time year-end financial gift to the ministry of WBFJ online at www.wbfj.fm. And THANK YOU!
Reminder: Visitor restrictions are now in place at most area hospitals due to the increased spread of respiratory viruses such as flu, COVID-19 and RSV.
A dose of common sense. Health officials stressing that if you become sick,
stay home! Basic hygiene such as hand washing, covering your nose and mouth when coughing, even masking goes a long way to staying healthy during the holidays!
What about those Holiday leftovers?
The USDA suggests eating refrigerated leftovers within 3 to 4 days of preparation.
Reminder: Two hours is the limit that refrigerated items should be left out on the table at room temperature! You can FREEZE most leftovers within a few days.
*When in doubt, throw it out!!

Final evening: The annual High Point University Christmas drive-thru concludes tonight (Dec 27). Open from 5pm – 8pm this evening.
The ‘Dream Center of Forsyth County’ is moving into a ‘new’ location in 2024!
The faith-based nonprofit (with a focus on the emotional, physical and nutritional needs of struggling residents), has purchased the former Rominger’s Southern Furniture Co. property on North Liberty Street in downtown Winston-Salem. The non-profit hopes to officially move into their location later this summer (2024).
*Pastor Chris Leab, the nonprofit’s executive director, said in the Facebook posting that “we have had some challenges, but God has been with us every step.” The mission of the ‘Dream Center of Forsyth County’ is focused on providing “tangible and transformative resources to those in need with the goal of rebuilding hope, one dream at a time.”
