Letter From the Pastor – May 14, 2023

The early church father said there were seven deadly sins.  High up on their list they placed the sin of anger.  In fact, it was second only to the sin of pride. Today we need to ask ourselves: “what makes us angry?”  Think about the things that made you mad this past week.  What were they?  A car on the highway that cut into your lane?  A rude clerk at the department store?  Having to stand in line a little longer than you thought necessary?  A phone call that interrupted your evening meal, from someone trying to sell you something […]

Letter From the Pastor – April 16, 2023

I dare say some of us know, or have known, what is to wear used clothes, to buy used books, and to drive used cars.  And the truth of the matter is that it’s really not a bad way to live.  If it is handled right, there’s a touch of class to it.  Perhaps you have noticed that people who grow up in large families, wearing hand-me down clothes, almost always end up bragging about it.  Secondhand living isn’t all bad. In fact, it can be quite good. But there are some things in life that ought not be secondhand.  […]
