Someone on YouTube will show you how. Can’t remember the name of a song playing at the coffee shop? Turn to Shazam. Need to solve a nasty mathematical expression, go to Wolfram Alpha.

Bryce Avenue Presbyterian Church Presents Conference On Martin Luther And The Reformation Sept. 29–30
Bryce Avenue Presbyterian Church News:
On Oct. 31, 1517, theology professor Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the door of the All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg, Germany.

He then focused his attack on the Catholic practice of selling indulgences for the remission of sins.

Yet, the School Board of which Ms. Bernstein is a part failed at this task, in a manner that cost us educationally and financially.
