  • Pastor's Corner

    Feb 26, 2020

    WHAT DO YOU NEED? When I tell you about experiences I have had with God, it is merely testifying as to how God deals with me. God is infinitely creative and deals with each one of us according to our personalities, habits, quirks, emotions, feelings, etc. So, how He deals with me is probably different than how He deals with you. It is up to you to look for God in the circumstances of your own life and see how He is dealing with you. One thing I can assure you of is that He loves you very much. More than anyone has ever loved you, ever....

    Harold Pease PhD|Feb 26, 2020

    Most hold that since Richard M. Nixon resigned from office as President before the full House of Representatives could vote on the articles of impeachment, he therefore was not impeached. But they omit the House vote 12 days after he resigned. There were two votes on impeachment by the full House of Representatives. The first on February 6, 1974, was a vote 410 for and 4 against, authorizing impeachment proceedings against Nixon which allowed the House Judiciary Committee to begin the formal inquiry. Talk of such had preceded this vote for...

  • 9 Garden Planning Tips for the Greatest Return

    Melinda Myers|Feb 26, 2020

Make sure each plant you select provides the greatest retur...
