Impact (Missional) Communities - 3 months in
(By Nora Wheeler)
For those of you that do not know much about the IMPACT Communities maybe I can help. I wasn't real keen with the idea at first. I mean, we already did some service projects, so what about in-reach, you know, caring for each other? That was my biggest concern.

What is your master?
Have you ever tried to lose some weight? Unless you are some freak of nature, this is NOT an easy process. I’m talking about the kind of weight loss that doesn’t come back 6 months later, but the kind that is permanent. I have been on a year long battle to bring my body ...Read More...

Memorials & Wisdom

Christmas Surprise
The snowstorm that came on Saturday, December 19th, was one of the worst in years in New Jersey, according to news reports. It snarled up the traffic, made driving difficult (even days after), put people's Christmas schedules out of kilter, and even kept people from their parties and get togethers.
But ...Read More...
