About the Golden Rule
I recently finished a series preaching through the Sermon on the Mount. This section in Matthew’s Gospel has some of the highest standards Christians are supposed to live up to. While much of it seems impossible to accomplish, I believe Jesus would expect us as his disciples to at least try. Of course, I don’t have the space in this brief article here to expound on the entire Sermon on the Mount.
Preparing for life after high school
For Class of 2025 seniors, graduation is nearing and high school is coming to an end. Many individuals have a post-secondary plan, but some aren’t sure yet.

There are many ways to spend your summer as you can spend it preparing for college or prioritizing your happiness by making memories and living in the moment.
How performing arts can help you in your life
In Hiawatha, there is a lot of art around the town, whether they are art murals or musicians coming down to perform at the Hiawatha Creamery or town events. Many people are involved with music in our lives like music on the radio, as some listen to their favorite songs and start singing. Other arts that many students or individuals participate in are art or music classes.

Senior Moments
Members of the Horton Senior Citizens Center took a tour of the Werner Wagon Works on Tuesday, May 5. We enjoyed seeing some “works in progress” and hearing about all of the wagons that were built in Horton and shipped all over the U.S.A. Donnie and his wife Connie Werner have significant knowledge from building or refurbishing antique wagons. Many thanks to them both for taking the time to show us their business and answering all our questions.
A message for Mother’s Day
Happy Mothers’ Day! I am looking forward to this one, my mom and sister are coming to see me preach. Like many preachers this week-end, I will be sharing the story of the raising of Tabitha. Which highlights the importance of women disciples in the early church…and Tabitha was certainly a church mother to celebrate.
