"For our 150th Anniversary year, we want to purposefully measure the difference we make in our world.  
We want to celebrate all the lives we touch in big and small ways.  

Our ministries should be focused on the good that we do for people-- in our congregation and outside of our congregation."    Shirley Zierke


Please enjoy this blessing that impacted one of our own:

Last night as I was walking out to my car after the Team Leader Meeting (Jan. 9th) and I was thinking to myself - "Gosh it's dark out here tonight".  I noticed a car driving around the back of the lot, as it got closer to my car it slowed down and shone it's head lights so that I could see to put my walker into the back of the car,  waited to see that I got in my car safely, and then pulled off. I didn't really need any help, just a little light on the situation.   I couldn't see who it was because the glare of the lights was in my eyes, but I'd like to give a shout out and thank them.  I really appreciated their kindness/blessing.
