Pastor’s Corner – February 2025
Pastor’s Corner - February 2025 There was a song in the 70s I think, called “What the World Needs Now is Love, Sweet Love”. It was during the tumultuous times of the 60s and 70s: Vietnam; Civil Rights Movement; Watergate. But it could be argued that we need love even...
Pastor’s Corner – January 2025
Pastor’s Corner - January 2025 When I was in school, I always liked the first day. Not to meet new teachers, or have to learn after a summer of baseball and friends. No, it was the day when you gathered all your new school supplies and headed to school. And in my...

Pastor’s Corner – July 2024
Pastor’s Corner - July 2024 As we once again get ready to celebrate our country’s birthday, we are reminded fresh and anew that freedom is not free. We are free, and we take that for granted every day. We assume everyone in the world has such freedom, but it isn’t...

Pastor’s Corner - June 2024 As we enter June, we have just celebrated Memorial Day; we have Flag Day in June; and the 4 th of July soon after that. To we who have a few years behind us, we remember how it used to be. Every school day started with the pledge of...
