We are grateful to the clergy who contacted us and for our transition adventures. Having come this far by faith, our 100 year old church family is excited about the good news to come.

May is National Milirary Appreciation Month
May is National Military Appreciation Month and there are many great ways to show your respect to those who provide our defense. One idea: Fly the American flag on your house, car, or at your business during May. Another idea: Say "Thank you for your service" when you see a Sailor, Soldier, Airman, Marine or Coast Guardian in uniform. What ideas do you have?
