    Jackie Ritter sends us a note about a special service I have never heard about:

      

    Just a reminder on our "Room in the Inn" Program for the holidays.   We're offering hotel rooms at no cost to our guests coming to visit loved ones in area hospitals, nursing homes and treatment centers on Christmas Eve.

       

    Tharaldson Lodging Company, which operates our hotel, began the "Room in the Inn" program in 1988.  With times as they are now in Michigan and across the country, we're trying to relieve some of the financial stress of having family in a care facility and by offering free rooms to those in need, we hope to make it a little easier for families to get together during the holidays.

      

    If you happen to know of anyone who's in this circumstance, or need more information about our "Room in the Inn" program, please contact our General Manager, Rick Porco, or visit our Website for all of our locations at  http://www.tharaldson.com

  • 3rd Sunday of Easter, April 19, 2026

    Acts 2:  Jesus the Nazarene was a man commended to you by God with mighty deeds, wonders, and signs, which God worked through him in your midst, as you yourselves know. This man, delivered up by the set plan and foreknowledge of God, you killed, using lawless men to crucify him. But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it.
    1 Peter 1:  He was known before the foundation of the world but revealed in the final time for you, who through him believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory,
    Luke 24:  That very day, the first day of the week, two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred.  And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.


    It’s not difficult to get rich.   But it’s difficult to learn to have enough.

     True?

    This is my creed: For man the vast marvel is to be alive. For man as for flower and beast and bird the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. Whatever the unborn and the dead may know they cannot know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. The dead may look after the afterward. But the magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours alone, and ours only for a time. We ought to dance with rapture that we should be alive and in the flesh and part of the living incarnate cosmos.
