“Everybody’s out on the run tonight but there’s no place left to hide” – Bruce Springsteen I was a student at the University of Buffalo when I first heard BRUCE.

We stepped up to the plate with St. Paul’s when Philadelphia Phillies played the Washington Nationals on Saturday August 17th.

Way, way back in the 1980s we used to support our mission projects by holding an International Dinner each year. It was potluck, but everyone made a donation to come, and the donations were used toward mission projects. We’d usually have a missionary guest to speak about their work. I wish I had a photo…
We Sang, “Mrs. Brown You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter” Ok, so it wasn’t a song of faith that I remember most from my Vacation Bible School days, but I do remember the days when the church bus picked us up in front of our house to take us to Vacation Bible School at my church,…
