As I write this, it is a beautiful Fall day and the leaves are just starting to show their glory! With this article we will complete my series about worship and why we do what we do in worship.
The reading of Scripture and the Word Proclaimed in the sermon go hand in hand. The Book […]
Hi Everyone and Welcome to Fall…..I hope!

Happy Spring! Daffodils have bloomed, the world is greening up and the rhododendrons by the church were especially beautiful this year! I’m anxious to plant a small garden and flower beds. Spring is a time of anticipating, watching things grow, waiting for flowers to share their colorful splendor or maybe carefully checking for that first […]
Dear Friends,
Easter is upon us and here we are a year after trying to adjust to celebrating one of our most joyous and sacred holidays via Zoom. There have been many ups and downs and glitches we have weathered and to be at the same place in the process is disappointing at best. There are […]

Church cat Bennett also enjoys the action.

Greetings and Hello February!
January seemed to fly by and for some reason I have always felt like February was the longest month of the year even though it has the fewest days! Maybe it’s because I start looking for signs of Spring way too early and I’m anticipating working in my flower gardens. So, this […]
