This is the church we went to for many many years.

IT cahanged my life by giving me the confidence to take on leadership roles.

I got to sing in the choir!

Larry was involved in Outreach.  Carol and Larry and I all taught Sunday schol.  Oliver and Theresa and Kim were baptixed there.

Oliver was baby Jesus and Carol and Ron played Mary and Joseph beautifully.

Sandra help look after the babies in the nursury,

We all enjoyed the Harvest Fall Turkey dinner.  Ron tok on the job of cooking the turkeys.

I was thinking of church and about the rejection Jesus had when he went back to his synagouge,

His message frightened them and they did not want to believe it.  How could this simple plain man be the chosen one?  He was just like one of them except he had the divine power to heal and cast out demons.

The worst thing about church is if it teaches we are holier than others.  We can become too religious and we are obnoxious and rude,

The best thing is we can go there to learn and to be part of a community.  I have not been to church for awhile and it is about time I went again.  Where?  The old church is now a school.

Church is meant to help us grow spiritually becoming more aware of the needs of others especially the poor and down trodden.  

Humility and compassion are the strengths we need to grow.  As well as generosity,

Yes Ken I am enjoying the D.V.D's.  I forgot to mention you played the drums at church and Rick when to youth group with our cool long haired minister.  Jack rode a bychle into church one day to relate to the story of Jesus riging a donkey.  Jack became involved in drama after he left church,
