Teens run drop-off shed at church
Melissa Renahan 12/10/08
David Hertweck, the youth pastor at the Trinity Assembly of God church, wants to spread the good word about the addition to their parking lot: a clothing drop-off shed. The drop-off site will be run entirely by the church’s youth group, which involves cleaning the site, emptying the shed, organizing the clothes and occasionally re-bagging items.

In My Silence
Angela 12/23/08
In my silence, you hear me, in my silence you use me, In my silence you understand what I’m trying to say…
It all started this past March. It seems like my voice was slipping away. I noticed that I couldn’t laugh as freely as I once could. I found it difficult to sing even simple songs with the worship team. And I couldn’t scream when an itsy bitsy spider came along.
Then, in July I finally went to an ENT to figure out what was going on with my voice. The diagnosis was that improper singing and talking had taken a toll on my vocal cords and I had developed vocal nodules. Thankfully, surgery was not needed, but complete vocal rest was still my road to a cure. On one hand I was glad I finally had a diagnosis for my strained vocal cords...
