The largest group of golfers this year, 30 of them, showed up for last night’s Scramble! Divided into 7 teams, they spread out over the course and began chasing those golf balls around.
By about 7:30, the groups started drifting back to post their scores. The James Toeppich team of Bobby, Connie and Randy carded a -8, and that was good enough to place and keep them firmly in first place.

Last Friday, June 24th, the two-year old class from Steady Steps came to visit the Mason Square Museum. Braxtyn, Lathan, Gaige, Jax, Cash, Holden, Payden, and Benjamin were extremely excited to see the “rocks”, the antique oxen yoke, the guns, and the Mammoth tusk. The children touched everything touchable (note fingerprints on glass displays), and did a great job of oohing and aahing.
Their enthusiasm was contagious as Grover, on the arm of Rosemary Davis, talked to the children about Maso ...

I want to extend my warmest appreciation to those who have assisted me with two very large projects over the last six months. The first project involved a health fair at our local food pantry to provide an opportunity for the participants to learn of services available to them at no cost or low cost.
Seth Thomas.
Some of you know him.
Every Sunday I think of ol’ Seth.
Every Sunday I wind him up.
The tick-tock pendulum clock that says “Seth Thomas.”
Made in the U.S.A.
And that’s a good thing.
Because Seth Thomas was American.
Born in 1785.
And a pioneer of mass production.
He had his own clock-making company when he was 25.
Not much later, he set up his own factory.
And started making clocks with metal movements.
Up until then, everything was made of wood.
The iconic clock in Grand C ...
Summer came to visit us early, and it was so HOT. I am still raking leaves and trying to get the yard cleaned up. It may be old age, but I think this heat is more than I can handle. I quit working by 10 in the morning. It will take a while to get this done at the rate I am working.
The retirement fellowship for Pastor John and Sharon will be Thursday at 6 at Joyce and Stephen Mutschink’s home.
