Star-filled remembrance of Jesus’ birth
On the night of Jesus’ birth, it was a gleaming star in the night sky that led shepherds and wisemen to the stable in Bethlehem. For our church’s celebration of Christmas 2011, the star once again was a focal point, but in this case, it was a sanctuary filled with stars that [...]

Christmas caroling

In additional to singing at several residences, the carolers stopped at the Cape Memory Care Residence and offered four traditional carols while residents ate their dinners.

Jolly Snowman Christmas Fair

Saturday, December 3rd, 2011

 
Enjoying high spirits of the season
The success of the 2011 Jolly Snowman Christmas Fair can be measured in many ways. But perhaps none is better than this: With an hour still remaining before the fair closed, the kitchen had sold out of lobster rolls and hot dogs.
Bon appetit, fairgoers!
On a day of sunny skies and mild [...]
