Fr. Glenn: Can There Be Too Much?

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

It’s funny how easily we toss around extreme phrases: “I gave everything I had?!” “You have to give 110%!!” But do we? Are we truly so generous of ourselves?

On the other hand, if someone were to chastise a parent, a child or a spouse: “You give too much love!”, I think most of us would think such phrase absurd. Love for another is the one thing that should be limitless. Certainly there are better ways than others to manifest love (not enabling self-destructive behavior for one), but, like God who IS love (1 John 4:8), the greatest love is that which has no end. Infinite.

By Deacon Cynthia Biddlecomb (ELCA), retired

Last Sunday was Trinity Sunday, the First Sunday after Pentecost. In many of our churches we change the paraments (banners, and frontispieces) from the red of Pentecost Sunday to the white used for a special Feast Day. But this annual feast day differs from others. 

Trinity Sunday is about our theology, our understanding of the mystery of God. It addresses the basic doctrine of the Trinity held by the Christian Read More

North Road/Urban Street Intersection Is Now Four-Way Stop

by

County News:
The intersection of North Road and Urban Street is now a four-way stop.
New pavement markings and temporary signs are in place until permanent traffic signs are installed early next week.
The change was made after an engineering analysis that reviewed one month of traffic data, eight years of police reports, site conditions, and traffic patterns.
Although the intersection averages about one crash per year, several factors supported the decision. In addition to engineering considerations, the area serves as a safe route to school for nearby Mountain Elementary and sees pedestrian
