WGTS 91.9 Says Thank You to Local Heroes

Johnny and Stacey Stone from Afternoons on WGTS 91.9 headed to Adventist Healthcare Shady Grove Medical Center recently to say "thank you" and "we are praying for you" to all of the health care workers there. They arrived at just as the evening shift was changing and kept their distance as they held up signs saying "Heroes" and "Air Hugs" to those coming into work.

"You could see the smiles on the faces of those coming in when they heard thank you or saw our signs," explained Johnny Stone. "Those coming out looked so overloaded but they laughed and waved at us when they heard us saying that they are amazing and that we are praying for them."

Aim for Hope

Editorial by Kevin Krueger

Is your heart leaning toward stress today or toward hope? Take a moment to consider Jesus’ promise in John 14:27 — I am leaving you with a gift — peace of mind and heart.

Take hold of that promise today, grip it with all your might. Perhaps you’ve wondered for years about where you’ll find peace of heart.

Gary shared with us, “I struggled with drugs and alcohol for 30 years. Last year I began listening to WGTS. You led me back to God and helped me find a church. Because of WGTS, I’ve made major changes in my life and have been sober for seven months.”

Story by Jerry Woods

This year in Washington D.C. there were 13,000 kids who probably wouldn’t have gotten anything for Chrismas.  Their parents signed up with the Salvation Army to get some assistance.  The Salvation Army’s goal was to provide toys and gifts for those children, and they enlisted WGTS 91.9 to help. 

WGTS 91.9 held a live remote with Johnny and Stacey from the afternoon show to invite people to Potomac Mills Mall to buy and bring toys for the Salvation Army Angel Tree kids.   Listeners brought hundreds of toys and many also selected gift tags off of the Angel Tree to shop for a specific child’s wish list.
