NOTICINGS… February 2, 2022 One of my favourite music groups in the late 70s-early 80s was the Little River Band from Australia. They produced one of my all-time favourite songs, “Reminiscing”. So, so good! I was really starting to find…
NOTICINGS… January 19, 2022 I know, I know. It’s a month early. But I figured I’d beat the rush and go ahead and get the February blahs started now! There’s nothing wrong, per se. Life is actually pretty darn good.…

NOTICINGS… November 3, 2021 Like many other ministers I know, I have the DVD box set of a British comedy series called “The Vicar of Dibley.” I’ve just finished watching through the series again and I wanted to share with…
