Thanksgiving will be here a little early at Lexington Church of God and Life Springs Worship Center. They are hosting a Community Thanksgiving Service Sunday, at 6 pm.

They’ve invited the community and several other congregations to join them at the Life Springs Worship Center, 5630 Platt Springs Road. Please contact the church at 803-957-6675 for details.

EVERYONE NEEDS more room for their stuf. Under construction beside the Waffle House on South Lake Drive near I-20 is climate-controlled storage with the large outdoor access one behind it.

THE WHITE KNOLL Timberwolves varsity boys basketball team opens its preseason next Wednesday in the annual Lake Murray Tip-Off Classic. The Timberwolves will play Richard Winn that night, Fox Creek Thursday, and Wilson Friday with the championship game on Nov. 29 at Lexington High. Good luck to the team and coach Darrick Cureton.

The recent resignation of athletic director and head football coach Dean Howell came as a surprise. I’ve had many conversations with Coach Howell about football and the impact it has on the student athletes he has coached. I hope he’ll now also have more time to spend with his family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THIS week to Anthony Boatwright, Trey Edwards, Robert Brittain, Tony Leaphart, Bo Miles, George Jeffcoat, Layne Snelgrove, Edie Key, Connor Craigo, Kristi Hunter, Alex Kercher, Johnny Smith, Bubba Reese, Trey Taylor, Michele Tynes,
