News | December 7, 2017

Advent devotion: Snowstorm

News | December 4, 2017

Tick tock

Pastoral Messages | November 28, 2017

Hands-on holiday

Pastoral Messages | November 22, 2017

One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving (second only to canned cranberry sauce) is the chance to make hand-drawn turkeys by tracing around my fingers and thumb. It’s easy. It’s fun. And you can decorate your turkey with a theme of your choice. M…
