Take Time To Remember...
In these busy and trying times Christians all over the world pause to remember the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Attention, Kite Flyers
It may seem repetitious each spring to point out a few simple safety rules for happy kite-flying.

For that reason we repeat the safety rules that can help you or your youngster have a safe adventure with his kite. Read them aloud in your home—talk about their importance. 1.

injunction to love one another. Today most ’Churches observe communion on this day. Good Friday is observed in commemoration of the crucifixion and is the oldest Christian celebration. It is observed in some manner by most Christians everywhere. It is possibly a corruption of “God’s Friday.” Easter Sunday climaxes the weeklong worship period and commemorates the resurrection of Christ. We would like to suggest that you plan now to attend Holy Week services in your community and be in church on Easter Sunday and every Sunday.
