In less than two weeks, Jill’s dad will celebrate his 75th birthday. As in many families, one of the traditions in Jill’s family is that on a family member’s birthday, everyone sings Happy Birthday. This often happens over the phone because we’re at a distance from one another on a…

Galatians 5:22-25, “By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control.

We were blessed this year to hear the message from Rev. Vincent Fasano. Tonight we participate in the church’s oldest observance during Holy Week. Maundy Thursday is a day and night associated with the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, the betrayal of Jesus by Judas, and the arrest of…

Does anyone here like parades? Last year we had a lot of folks walk in the Brewster in Bloom parade, but I don’t know whether we’re going to be represented this year because it’s on Mother’s Day, May 8. At a parade there tends to be a few groups of…
