Thought of the Week

I hope everyone was able to stay safe and warm during our snow/ice event this past weekend. I love the way the ice looks on the trees, but don’t like the risk of driving on it. I’m glad we were able to have time to make decisions as to what to do before the weather […]

We are a week into the new year and I feel the need to ask you, “how are your resolutions going?” Are you working on keeping the resolutions you made, if you made them? I will admit I made my annual “get healthier and feel better” resolution for this year. So far, I have done […]

This week we begin preparing our minds and our hearts for the birth of Christ. It is a time in the Christian season known as “Advent”. The word advent actually means “the arrival of a notable person, thing, or event.” During the advent season, we will be taking time on Sundays to focus on a […]
