Senior Saints Luncheon 2025 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it… And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”  (John 1:1-5, 14) This truly is a season for family gatherings, sharing time and meals, giving gifts to one another, and for some remembering and reflecting on the deeper meaning at the core of this…

Called Out - Life of Moses Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am." Then he said, "Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground." And he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for…

On Saturday, March 30, 2024 several hundred people showed up at the Linder Road church of Christ between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm to participate in our annual Community Giveaway.  This event began in 2003 when two ladies had the idea to reach out to our community by freely sharing from our overflow of material blessings.  Members of the Linder congregation contribute gently used clothing, furniture, toys, books, and various household items for the event. Then, we invite our neighbors to come by and pick up whatever they need for free. Why do we continue doing this 20+ year old traditional event?  We want to be like the Lord we follow.  Jesus had compassion and cared for people, so we want to do the same. ”The Lord helps all who…

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Laughter rang out as the children sang “Bring us some figgy pudding” in this traditional song, as a group of over 50 Senior Saints enjoyed a shared time of food, exchanged gifts, and enjoyed the fun and festive friendship. The fourth annual event was a wonderful time of giving and receiving. A delicious meal, including oven roasted lemon chicken, salad, green beans, mashed potatoes, and whole grain rolls, was provided. Of course, the meal was finished off with coffee, and a choice of sweet treats such as apple crisp, cholate cake, and fruit-filled gelatin desserts. Despite the pandemic, the end-of-the-year gathering was very cheerful and reminded us of upcoming hope. We offer thanks to our heavenly Father for all…

  Memories light the corners of my mind.  Misty water-colored memories of the way we were . . .* The Way We Were (song) Barbra Streisand These lyrics of a 1973 song made famous by Barbra Streisand evoke feelings that each of us can easily relate to as we look back and contemplate the past.  Remembrance is a common human experience that fills our lives and frames our worldview.   We have shared cultural memories that we celebrate together, such as the upcoming Memorial Day on Monday, May 25th, a holiday for honoring the men and women who have died while serving in the U.S. military. This is just one example of the many memorial days we set aside to help us remember important things such as wedding days, birthdays, Independence…
