February 21, 2016 We are to love God, people and ourselves and to let that love and resulting JOY radiate from us. In my sermon given twice today we spoke of the principle of being careful about whom you listen to. You listen to those who have been where you are and have what you…

JOY In Our Life: It is Jan. 25, 2016, one month beyond Dec. 25, 2015.

JOY in Our Indoor Garden: Each year in the spring or summer we receive a poinsettia from Mum McLellan after it has over-stayed its welcome in her home as a Christmas gift.
