Did you shovel the snow from last Sunday's storm? Our pastor didn't. He has some conviction about shoveling in March. In this week's writing to our church, he muses about not gathering last Sunday morning. Give it a read.

Local officials say 100,000 attended the memorial service for Charlie Kirk. Estimates vary widely about how many watched part or all of the event. It’s safe to say 25 – 100 million turned away from the NFL on a Sunday afternoon to listen to pastors, friends, members of the president’s cabinet,...

In his weekly writing to our church, our pastor answers the question, "Why does Charlie's death hurt so much?" We hope you find his writing helpful. Thanks for reading.

All were married at the tim...
