SNEAKY SNAKE
Sneaky Snake was the meanest animal in the forest. He loved to sneak up on the other animals and bite them with his sharp fangs. He had bitten everybody that had ever tried to be his friend; so, he did not have a single friend in the whole world, not even one.

WHY DID HE DO THAT?
In his book "Evidence that demands a Verdict," Josh McDowell describes what Jesus went through on our behalf. It started with "a sleepless night with no food. Then Jesus endured the mockery of two trials; He was slapped, mocked, spat upon, and ridiculed with a robe, a

Francois Fenelon, a 17th century French mystic who wrote the classic Christian Perfection, spoke eloquently of the denial of death: “We consider ourselves immortal, or at least as though [we are] going to live for centuries. Folly of the human spirit! Every day those who die soon follow those who

As a kid growing up in Johnstown, PA I was fascinated by the electric trolley cars that hauled people around the city. As big as they were, the trolley car was powerless until the conductor hooked it up to the cable. Moreover, the trolley could run only along the route determined by the trolley

On our third floor, you will find a Carpet Ball Table… The original surfaced for Camp Emmanuel in the early 1990’s. We thought about building one since then…one man measured, another man measured, even I measured and intended to build it. But it was never built.
