The air was crisp, but the sun was shining when we arrived at Wesley Hall on Monday for Evergreen Outreach.
We have been blessed with some lovely days lately, which enabled me to clean up my garden and tuck everything away for the winter.
Our friend Russ Osborn was driving the bus on Monday, which brought our guests from Long Term Care, Vandalia Rehab, FAYCO and Sweetbriar.

Northside to start new series on cults

This Sunday evening at 6 p.m., Brownstown First Christian Church will present the play “Star Queen” on the final night of its fall revival.
“Star Queen” is based on the story of Queen Esther. It celebrates a victory over an evil tyrant through the cunning ingenuity of this young Jewish queen of Persia. It also focuses on the beginnings of the Jewish Feast of Purim.
Tommy Oaks and his son, John Thomas Oaks, bring this story to life in a campy, colorful, high-energy two-man production.

WJLY Christian Radio of Ramsey will be celebrating 20 years of broadcasting as it conducts its annual Share-athon fundraiser this Thursday through Saturday.
During this year's Share-athon, funds will be raised for the station's operating budget, as well as for materials to finish the building.
