A safe and sacred Memorial Day to all.

"In Flander's Field the poppies blow between the crosses row on row..." is the beginning of a poem by John McCrae. It was written over 100 years ago and could have been written almost anytime and almost anywhere that has seen war.
Flanders Field is a military burial ground, and Leonard Cohen, Canadian, like the poet, recites the poem in this haunting video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKoJvHcMLfc

Note: This is not a bloody video, however, there are images of WWI soldiers that could be troubling for some.

We have dedicated a corner of our website to resources for children.
It also features family activities and just plain good stuff.
We hope you'll visit, and simply see what you see.
It could be that you have - or will - run across a wonderful resource in your travels online or off that you might want to recommend we add to the collection.
If so, please let A.K. or Angela Hed Vincent or Pastor Chris know.
You might have fun finding it on your own! Or simply click:

Hey, all!
Just want to let you all know that A.K. and Angela Hed Vincent - our in reach coordinators - and Pastor Chris are embarking on a phone calling campaign. In the next couple of weeks we're going to try to make it all the way through the phone directory and TOUCH BASE WITH FOLKS.
We'll have a couple of questions, and we'll mostly be wanting to hear your voice!

Most of these gatherings continue weekly, and you can join at any time. And you can invite a friend - or several - from near or far away!!
