NOTICINGS… April 28, 2021 I’m moving. Just houses, not churches. No, we haven’t found a place yet. We’re still looking. No, we haven’t sold our home yet. Buy one first, then sell.

NOTICINGS… March 24, 2021 I guess we were due. In this extraordinary past 12 months where we have not been able to gather in-person for worship (or anything!) we have had to rely on technology – for just about everything.

NOTICINGS… March 17, 2021 On the weekend I attended an online meeting for a group that focuses on spirituality and spiritual deepening.
