Christmas Caroling – Oh What Fun!
Bob
Smiles all around as carolers visited various Assisted Living communities to spread some holiday cheer and warm some hearts. A good time was had by all!
A Prayer for Newtown
Bob
“Out of the depths we cry to you, O Lord.” Psalm 130
We commend to you, most gracious and loving God, all who grieve because of the violence in Newtown. It is a violence so incomprehensible to us, that only through You, our Creator and Redeemer, is comfort even possible. Make Yourself known to those whose lives are forever changed by their loss, that they may feel Your love and strength. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
