We are at a crossroad; some are affected more than
others but all of us are witness to the ebb and flow of
shock, empathy, hopefulness, fear, loneliness, comfort,
distress, uncertainty, trust, and many more feelings.
We hope you and yours are well and taking care of yourselves
physically, emotionally, and spiritually at this time.
Remember that God is there right with you. At this time
there is need for courage, acting on faith, and going deep
within to bring out the best of you. Some say that this
is what Coronavirus is all about....stopping us in our
tracks, jolting us and making us take a hard look about
who we are and where we are going. Several church
congregants have expressed this feeling.
There is a saying, “If God brings us to it, God will see us
through it." May you and yours be well throughout this
rocky road ahead, and if you are able, please join us in
caring for one another. Prayers work! Blessings….

Haiku day is here
April breeze, warm and gentle
Joyful holiday

The haiku is an ancient form of Japanese poetry,
which consists of three short lines with syllable

The Mandela Effect refers to a situation in which
a large mass of people believes that an event
