Life Chain – October 2nd
Sunday, October 3, we will be hosting a “Life Chain” event in front of our building, along Washington Street. This is our chance to stand up for the protection of human life in a peaceful, silent way. As we hold signs (in English and Spanish) which endorse the value of unborn life, we will silently pray for our nation.
In Fearful Times, God is Still Faithful
Today we remember a terrorist attack ten years ago, on U.S. soil, which culminated in the death of 2,996 persons. Though the sights and sounds and emotions are still vivid in our memory, these are not so different from the memories of countless generations before us. Eighty years ago this week, a baby girl was born in the Philippines. It was only two days later that Japan invaded Manchuria, China (marking the start of World War II to many). By…

Six Thousand and Thirteen Fallen
SIX THOUSAND THIRTEEN FALLEN (as of 5/26/11) These are not just numbers but individuals who had families and friends; individuals who had bodies that were healthy and strong and brave. These are souls who Jesus died for, and who are now in eternity. These are our American military casualties of the past ten years, from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom — the newest ones whom we remember this Memorial Day. May we never take their sacrifice (or all…
