Everyone that lives out here in Laurel Fork has a landmark that tells them that they’re back 🏡🏠🏡 home when they have to leave our little hamlet.
For many its the Blue signs on both ends of the village located on opposite sides out on US-58 while others see 👀 it as the Citgo sign at Nester’s Store or maybe the Dollar General sign.
But for me, in my four years it has always been the electric sign hanging at the Gospel Chapel 💒, just before the intersection of Stone Mountain Road and US-58.
The sign has been taken down as it is in need of repair. I am lost without the sign for a few different reasons, with one of them being its glow late at night would tell me its time to slow down for the right turn to go home to Olde Mill.
The second reason for missing the sign is it gives a ray of Hope to me, especially late at night. Whether it is telling you the next time there is a service at the Church or offering a message that will make you smile.
Reason #3 is the Pastor of the Church is Stephen Puckett and while we do not actually have membership cards at OneofUs.Care, we remember everyone that has gone out of their way to assist us with a project. Stephen fits that bill in regards to helping us with the task of getting the scoreboard up at Cavalier Park earlier this year.
There are two easy ways to get involved with helping the Church replace the signage.

Then this Saturday, from 2pm to 7pm the Church ⛪ will be hosting a Sign Fundraiser Spaghetti 🍝 Dinner. The event will also include Live Music 🎶 & Silent Auction.
It’s an easy answer for dinner on Saturday and it will help people in our little community. It might even help guide one of us back home 🏡 safely!
