Thanksgiving is a time of the year we thing of sharing and giving to others.  But sharing, giving, and caring is something we should do year round, and is what the Church I attend does.  So I Am Thankful For Being A Part Of A Sharing, Caring & Giving Church.I have attend the Ward Street Church of Christ in Wallingford, CT., since 1984, and in those 33+ years the Ward Street Church of Christ has looked for ways to assist our members and community year round.  For example last night several of us got together to put Thanksgiving Baskets together for needy families in our Church and community.  The baskets you see in the picture to the right, have all the fixings the families who will receive them will need for a Thanksgiving Dinner.  The only thing missing are the turkeys and pies which w...

  I always enjoyed school plays when my two sons were in school, and I still go see a few of the area school plays every year.  One that has caught my eye because I have not seen it preformed at an area school before is The Little Mermaid At Lyman Hall, High School, Wallingford, CT. May 4 - 6, 2017. If you have not been to a school play in your area, you should try to attend one.  Not only will you be supporting your area schools, but you will also be impressed by the quality of these plays.  And who knows you may just be watching the next big TV or Movie Star.     ******************************************************************************  Info about the author: George Souto NMLS# 65149 is a Loan Originator who can assist you with all your #FHA, #CHFA, and #Conventional #mortgage n...
