From the Pastor’s Desk – The 60-minute Fix

I, as well as you, have learned that saying, “I guarantee” is risky.  In a world of “guarantees,” we find that many things that are guaranteed are attached to a legal loophole.  Yes, saying “I guarantee” can get one into legal trouble.  It can also disappoint or stir up feeling of anger, deceit, and mistrust.  […]

EMMANUAL GIFT CARD FUNDRAISER

In addition to the Youth Group’s Weis and Carones Card Fundraisers, we have a Gift Card Fundraiser which is a great way to help our church.  The Fundraiser Sheets are on the table in the narthex.  Just look over the list (and there’s a lot to choose from) and mark how many cards you want.  […]

Youth Group Fundraiser

Remember to get yourWeis and Carone’s  cards! This is a great way to support the Youth Group without spending anything extra.  You’re just going to spend that money at the grocery store anyway so why not give the Youth Group some help with their finances?  For every $1,000 worth of cards they sell, they make […]

From the Pastor’s Desk

While traditionally done on Ash Wednesday, the ashes, made from the burning of palm fronds, are applied to the forehead in the sign of the cross as […]
