November is the season for our national thanksgiving. Beginning with our Puritan ancestors and continuing through the Civil War, when it became an official date, we have set aside the fourth Thursday of November as a day to express our gratitude.

Many thanks to everyone in the congregation for all the ways you have helped support the Baileys during our recent bout with Covid. The kind letters, phone calls as well as the offers of meals were much appreciated. We are especially grateful...
