Tammy Baldwin, is running for the U.S. Senate in Wisconsin. She faces former Gov. Tommy Thompson in a close contest.

  • Interview with Special Guest Tori Kelly Miles Mcpherson / October 15
    Interview with special guest Tori Kelly Miles McPherson / October 15, 2017 Ice Breaker: Pastor Miles said that although his favorite vacation spot on Earth (Hawaii) is wonderful, it is completely inferior compared to what awaits us in heaven. What is your favorite vacation spot and what makes it so good? Encouragement: Today, Pastor Miles interviewed Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Tori Kelly. As a young teenager, her recording contract was dissolved. After singing on the American Idol show, Simon said her voice was "annoying". Tori thought she was a failure, but God had other plans. Pastor Miles asked for a show of hands for the question: Have you ever felt like you were a failure? * Did you hear a lie from the enemy in your head after a failure? * When did you realize it was a lie? * Did the lie have an effect on your relationship with God? * How did you get the relationship back? Pastor Miles described life as a roller coaster - lots of ups and downs. His encouragement was this: If God called you for something, man can not destroy it. The miracle is coming if you surrender to Him. Break into groups of 2. Pastor Miles asked see Tori's engagement ring - a diamond does not shine by itself; it needs light so it can reflects the light to look beautiful. Tori told us her fiancée points her to Christ. We were reminded to use the gifts God has given us to glorify God. Share with each other: * Is there someone in your life who points you to Jesus? * Share what your daily prayer life is like.

To kick off this amazing show, grades k-6 sang “Bring on the Snow”. The theme for this year was very different from past performances. It was called “Bring on the Snow”. The whole show was not a play about someone who saves Christmas. It was more of a variety show. The cast portrayed many odd yet fun characters--everything from a deer head, to a goose, to a knock knock joker.

  • Countdown to Christmas: Four Days Left: Wisdom from Saint Peter
    Countdown to Christmas: Four days left: Wisdom from Saint Peter Canisius, first day of winter, Thoreau’s ‘The Pond in Winter,’ today’s O Antiphon and prayer, and more great Christmas music It’s almost Christmas… (Photo by Patti Murphy Dohn) “If you have too much to do, with God’s help you will find time to do it all.” — St. Peter Canisius (1521-1597), whose feast we celebrate today, December 21 Great advice from today’s saint, especially during this hurried week Saint Peter Canisius (1521-1597) ——- Introduction: In the last Advent days leading up to Christmas, I will share some reflections, prayers, and music for you to enjoy during this very hectic holiday season. “Heaven is under our feet is well as over our heads.” —Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) It’s the first day of winter: Comedian Steve Martin once joked “A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.” But it is bright and sunny today and thus hard to believe that it is December 21, the first official day of winter. Almost 60 degrees here in Bel Air…. The Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, comes today at 12:11 p.m. (EST). I heard that we will have 9 hours and 32 minutes of daylight. I’m not a fan of winter, so I will be counting down the days until Spring, be assured. My dear friend Sue, who just retired in June after many years teaching English on the high school and college levels, posted one of her favorite passages this morning from Thoreau’s ‘The Pond in Winter’ from “Walden.” She especially loves the last sentence, as do I!! Enjoy… “Standing on the snow-covered plain, as if in a pasture amid the hills, I cut …my way first through a foot of snow, and then a foot of ice, and open a window under my feet, where, kneeling to drink, I look down into the quiet parlor of the fishes, pervaded by a softened light as through a window of ground glass, with its bright sanded floor the same as in summer; there a perennial waveless serenity reigns as in the amber twilight sky, corresponding to the cool and even temperament of the inhabitants.
