For over 50 years I've been involved with the theater arts as stagehand, actor and director and I've been blessed to be involved in dozens of productions. Each show had its own charm and every one of them has blessed me with many fond memories. I can't think of one I wish I hadn't of done.
Though I've been blessed to be a part of so many shows, there are those I never had the chance to do for one reason or another. All theater people have their list of shows they'd like to do. Top among mine is the musical "Fiddler on the Roof." The story centers on Tevye, a milkman in the village of Anatevka in imperial Russia. In the story, Tevye attempts to stay true to his Jewish religious and cultural traditions even as the greater society puts pressure upon his family life. Within the story he is forced to deal with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters who wish to marry for love; their choices of husbands are successively less palatable for Tevye and his wife Golde.
In one scene, the discussion of who his daughter is to marry brings up the question of love within their own marriage. Their marriage was arranged as was the case of many Jewish marriages of the time. In the scene, Tevye is asking his wife, Golde, if she loves him. She responds with a list of all the things she's done for him over the years – cook his meals, cleaned his house, milked the cow. But Tevye isn't satisfied. Does she love him? And finally, she realizes that she does.
In all their years together, Golde remained steadfast in her commitment to marriage. She did the things that a wife was expected to do. Just like her mother probably did before her, she played the part of a dedicated wife. But did her steadfastness necessarily equate to love?
In our relationship with God, we also are asked to be steadfast. From 1 Corinthians 15:58, "Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."
Looking at this verse at face value, it could be interpreted in much the same way as an arranged Jewish marriage in imperial Russia circa 1905 might be interpreted. Love is not mentioned, only commitment. The real question is where this steadfastness comes from, a sense of duty or an act of love.
As usual we look at our Creator for clues of His steadfastness toward us. Why has he remained so steadfast in His dedication. Does he feel he has to because of the covenant He has made with us? Does he remain committed simply because He made a deal? Or is there something much deeper than that?
Romans 5:8 – "But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
1 John 3:1 – See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are."
1 John 4:16 – "So we have come to know and to believe that love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him."
1 John 4:19 – "We love because He first loved us."
Psalm 86:15 – "But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding n steadfast love and faithfulness."
Its clear that God remains steadfast in His commitment to us because he loves us. He is defined by love and His dedication towards us has love as its foundation.
Can you say the same toward Him? Steadfastness is defined in Christian terms as an unwavering faith toward God. Does that describe your dedication to Him? If so, is that steadfastness based on love or on a sense of duty toward a commitment made?
God is looking for your steadfast love as well as your steadfast faith. He wants a trust built on the knowledge of His love toward you that promises to never leave you or forsake you. Can you make this same promise? Will you return this steadfastness even during hardship?
"Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him" (James 1:12). Please pray with me:
Heavenly Father, thank you for Your steadfastness toward us and help us to return that love by being steadfast to You in return. Amen.
Over 2000 of our neighbors in Washington County are homeless youth. At Prince of Peace our vision is to "boldly serve our neighbors in ways that show them Jesus," so we team up with HomePlate Youth Services (www.homeplateyouth.org). On the 4th Thursday of every month at First Congregational Church, 494 E Main Street, Hillsboro, OR 97123, our team serves homeless youth a hot dinner, talks with them to give encouragement, and provides access to support resources. There are many different volunteer jobs to accommodate a variety of preferences. Join us in helping our community (and having fun at the same time)! If you are interested, please sign up in advance to help us make sure we have the right number of volunteers. You can also pray for the youth we support, donate to HomePlate's list of needs, or learn more about combatting homelessness and housing insecurity. If you have any questions, you can contact Evelyn Sixta at firstname.lastname@example.com or (971) 708-4295.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped or every good work." Like any relationship, our connection to God is only as strong as the investment we make in it. The more time we spend with Him in His Word, the stronger our relationship grows, and when we pursue that relationship in the context of community we deepen not only our relationship with God, but also our relationships with others in our family of faith! At Prince of Peace there are three opportunities for you to connect and engage with other friends in faith during the week:

Our mission is to provide opportunities to build real relationships with the women of our church, grow together in faith, and create opportunities for those considering joining our church community to get to know us on a more personal level.
Annual Women's Retreat
We sponsor a women's retreat in the spring each year, which is a Friday-Sunday weekend experience that includes worship, Bible study, activities and more. It is appropriate for adult women of all ages and has proven to build very close relationships among the women who attend.
Annual Christmas Tea
For Christmas, we sponsor an afternoon tea which is an opportunity to come have a relaxing, fun time in the midst of the busy season. This is a favorite event with soothing Tea and light refreshments, along with multiple glittering layers of Christmas Ornaments and decorations to get you in the Holiday spirit!
Youth Group meets every Sunday at 8:45am in "The Cave" – our Youth Area downstairs in the main Church Building. It's a great place for hanging out, for learning, growing, and sharing faith. We are currently engaged in a discussion about the validity of the Bible as God's source of truth for the world. If you are curious about the value of Scripture and whether the Bible has the ability to stand up under close inspection then come and join us, and bring your questions!! This class is designed for everyone in Grades 7-12, and friends are always welcome! See you this Sunday at 8:45am in the PoP Youth Cave!
In Ephesians 4:1 God encourages us to lead a life that's worthy of the calling to which we been called. In order for us to make that happen we have to know our calling, and the only way to know that is to listen to to voice of the One who is calling us – Jesus!
Confirmation provides a place where kids come together to sharpen their listening skills, learn to recognize God's still, small voice, and strengthen and grow their faith through a two-year course of study leading to a Personal Statement of Faith and the Rite of Confirmation.
We meet weekly as a whole group for study and reflection based on the Bible, and the Six Chief Parts of Luther's Small catechism (10 Commandments, Apostle's Creed, The Lord's Prayer, Holy Baptism, Confession/Absolution, Holy Communion). Classes are interactive and fun!
The classes happen weekly on Wednesday from 5:00-6:00pm, and include music, Bible study, workbook activities, and Catechism study. After 10:00am worship on Sundays or other times during the week we can be available to answer questions, provide guidance, direction, and help on any part of the Confirmation Curriculum.
Sunday School at Prince of Peace is a Rotational Model – which means that kids learn the weekly lessons in a variety of settings. One week they will go to "Storytelling", another week they will do a special activity like cooking, or a learning game, another week they will do music, or a special Bible craft. All sections help tell and re-tell the details of God's love in the timeless stories of the Bible!
For Service Projects, we seasonally collect various items for special initiatives like hygiene items for assembling care kits for the Homeless, non-perishable food items for our Food Pantry, warm blankets and other winter clothing items for cold weather support, neighborhood collections of shoes, clothing, sleeping bags, gloves for Homeless Youth, and more!
Classes begin each week with a special Devotional Opening at 8:45am in the Church Sanctuary for children's classes that includes songs, special announcements, and more. After the opening, at 9:00am, kids follow their Shepherds to various activities in a multi-age setting. Join us each Sunday during regular Sunday School classes throughout the year – from "Story Time" to "Bible Crafts" to "Faith Café" there is something for everyone!! Plan to be a part of Sunday School this year, and spread the word to all your friends!

Compassion International has created a network around the world to provide opportunity for us to put His words of love into action by sponsoring needy children from countries all around the globe. Our School sponsors 5-year old Latera Gamachis from Ethiopia, Africa. Contributions to Latera help provide him with new clothes and shoes, good food, medicine to keep him healthy, and the opportunity to go to school. Our school children write letters, send cards, and receive pictures of Latera and his life in Africa.

Rev. Gordon serves 7 churches in some of the poorest parts of Kenya, Africa. Donations from Prince of Peace members and friends were the source of the funds that bought 500 bibles and 500 Catechism's to serve Lutheran kids in those Churches. Last summer our Vacation Bible School kids took on the Kenya Mission as their focus and raised money to buy over 100 chicks for the villages that Dr. Gordon serves. These chicks will grow to provide a valuable source of sustenance and income for the villages in eggs and meat sales. We look forward to continuing our support for the Kenya Mission in the coming year.

Once a year we invite a representative from The Gideons International to share a presentation at our Church about the work of making Bibles available to people around the world. Millions of Bibles have been placed by the Gideons in Hotel rooms, Resorts, Parks, and more. We learn about this important work and have an opportunity to support their mission with financial contributions. Information is made available to anyone who would like to become more involved with the work of the Gideons.

Every November, Prince of Peace Church and School Families join together to pack brightly colored shoe boxes with fun and useful gifts for children of all ages. These shoe boxes are gathered, blessed for their journey at our worship service, then delivered to an Operation Christmas Child sorting and distribution center where they are sent to children in remote places around the world who have never celebrated Christmas, or received a Christmas gift. The boxes are given out with a clear Gospel message about Jesus and the Story of Christmas, and families are engaged to teach them more about the love and grace of God in Jesus Christ.

Sometimes Guys Just Need to Talk…About Guy Stuff…Fishing, and Building, and Fixing, and Sports, and Families, and Making it all work! Sometimes we can do it on our own, and sometimes we need help. It's good to hear from other guys who have been where you're going, or who have questions like you that need to get answered. We make Bacon, we eat, and we talk to God and to each other about life as Men. Everyone is welcome, and nobody leaves hungry. See you there!
The "Quilting for Kids" ministry group meets monthly to sew quilts for the shelter. In 2019, we provided 75 quilts for abused and at risk women and their children. Some of our members come and work only at the monthly meeting, some work only at home and others work both at our monthly meeting and at home. We have work available for all skill levels, and even for those who don't sew at all. We are willing to teach quilting as you work on a quilt for the shelter.
Our meetings are usually the first Monday of the month January thru October from 10:00 – 4:00 at one of our member's homes.

The Coffee Corner ministry is supported by the Pre-school board and Prince of Peace church. The goal is to develop stronger relationships with parents who have time for free coffee. The service is nicer than regular coffee, served from a quality machine with flavored syrups for additional choices.
Members of the church operate the coffee machine in pairs each Monday and Tuesday in the church lounge (narthex) for approximately 90 minutes. These servers are committed to engaging the parents in conversation. It is hoped that the ministry will encourage the participants to consider Prince of Peace as their church home. Children not yet in the pre-school are invited to play with toys from the church nursery while parents enjoy the coffee.
The goal of A.C.T. is to put on 3 larger productions a year, as well as a number of smaller ministry and outreach events as the Lord provides opportunity. Eventually we will develop a smaller offshoot made up of our very best actors to form an outreach team called, "ACTing Out." They will use their gifts in theater ministry to spread the Word of God using dramatic arts through skits and workshops. There is no charge to join any of A.C.T. 's ministries. We meet once a week for theater training and twice a week when a show is in production.
We also invite Moms and Dads to be a part of the team. Every show involves hours and hours of preparation and we could certainly use the help. Your involvement in the Alleluia Children's Theater will provide you with a great opportunity to be involved with your kids doing something they love and that's lots of fun for the whole family.
As a Praise Team, our goal for worship is to lead people to a place where they can open their hearts to God each week, and allow the Holy Spirit to encourage and strengthen them in their faith-Journey. We represent a wide range of age and experience, but we do our best to use the gifts God has given us to praise His name!
Praise Team members practice together at the Church at 7:00pm on the Thursday night before the Sunday when they lead worship. We work to include a mix of well-known and well-loved music, as well as new and current Christian worship titles in our song list. If you love music and want a place to express it, definitely contact Family Life Educator, Jeff Kranich, to join us!
The Voice Choir rehearses once a week at the Church at 7:45pm on Wednesday nights. We sing a wide variety of Choral Music that follows the seasons and celebrations of the Church year. The ability to read music is a plus, but not a requirement, and you will have many mentors to help you on your way. Most anthems are accompanied by our talented Music Director on Keyboard, but we do a fair number of pieces acapella so we can just enjoy the sound of blended voices singing together in praise to God! Contact our Music Director Bev Peloquin if you are interested in joining our Voice Choir.
The Handbell Choir rehearses once a week at the Church at 6:45pm on Wednesday nights. We play classical as well as contemporary pieces, and with our creative Director use a variety of techniques to create unique blends of sounds and tone. The Handbell Choir is open to anyone who has a good sense of rhythm, and can follow a line of music. The more you advance, the more Bells you will have the opportunity to play! We play two or three times a month for worship on Sunday mornings, and often join with the Voice Choir during festival seasons like Christmas and Easter.
The team meets periodically to discuss ways that the arts can augment worship especially during significant days of the church year. For example, the team is responsible for decorating the church for the Advent and Christmas season. Recently the team created an entrance to the church sanctuary for Easter morning, giving the effect of celebrating Easter from inside the empty tomb.
The Team meets three or four times a year to make plans and divide up the tasks needed for adding the arts to the worship experience. The pastor and Family Life Educator are invited to participate in this planning.
The Worship Ministry Team is made up of the Called Church Staff, our Music Director, and an intentional generational mix of lay people with an interest and heart for Worship. We meet seasonally, about once every two months, to coordinate the regular, ongoing details of our weekly worship, and to prepare specifically for special worship experiences during Church Year seasons and events like Advent, Lent, and Reformation. We get especially excited to plan worship elements for the big celebrations of the year at Christmas and Easter. Contact Family Life Educator, Jeff Kranich, if you are interested in being a part of this Ministry Team.
There are several Bible Studies that meet at various days and times during the week. There is a Monday night study that meets weekly at 7:00pm in member homes, a 2:00pm afternoon study that meets weekly on Tuesdays for those who do not wish to drive at night, a 1:30pm study that meets weekly on Wednesday at a local care facility, a 7:00pm evening study for Young Adults that meets weekly in member homes, and a Saturday morning Men's Breakfast Bible Study that includes a home-cooked breakfast and lots of bacon!
The Pastor leads a weekly Bible Study on Sunday mornings between our two worship services, often based on the Scripture Readings for the day. This study also can include a themed video series, or a topical study lead by guest speakers from our local Lutheran University.
We are always open to and encouraging of more Bible Study opportunities. If there is no study at a time when you can attend, or if you have a desire to start and/or lead a Bible Study, please contact Jeff Kranich, our Family Life Educator, to explore how to make that happen.
Sunday School
Our Children's Ministry Team leads a weekly Sunday School Opening and classes for all ages of kids, from 3 years through 6th Grade. We follow the stories of all the main Biblical Characters, and use a creative, hands on curriculum that allows kids to participate in the lessons and learn by doing.
Journey with Jesus
Each year we put on a family ministry event called "Journey with Jesus" which is an interactive experience that allows families to visit and learn about the final hours of Jesus' life on earth. There are several interactive stations to visit where kids and parents can engage in tasting the bread and wine (grape juice) of the Last Supper, praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, Standing on the Pavement where Jesus was tried by Romans Authorities, experience the Empty Tomb, and the joy of Resurrection Butterflies.
Kids Easter Worship and Easter Egg Hunt
The Saturday before Easter at 10:00am we pull out all the stops and host a celebration Worship experience for kids and families, as they anticipate the Resurrection of Jesus on Easter morning. Through songs, videos, and an interactive message, kids are reminded of the power of the Resurrection and the Forgiveness of sins Jesus won for us on the Cross. Afterward we gather in an outdoor space on our Campus where kids hunt for over 900 Easter Eggs. It's an amazing celebration. We hope you will join us this year!
Vacation Bible School
Every year in the Summer we host a community Vacation Bible School Program with Music, Videos, Bible Story Telling, Games, Themed Snacks, Recreation, and a Mission Project. Kids from our Church, our School, and our Neighborhood join together to Learn about Jesus, and shine His light in our lives.
Milestone Ministry
We celebrate regular milestone events in the lives of all our children at Prince of Peace. We start with a "Prayer Cube" for the very young, celebrate with "Prayer Journal" and "First Bible" when they learn to read and write, "First Communion" so they can participate with their families in the Sacrament, and "Faith Chests" as they approach the age for Confirmation. Each milestone intentionally involves and engages parents in actively participating to pass on their faith to their children.
Our Sunday Morning Youth Bible Study often includes a Hot Breakfast along with stimulating study and discussion of faith topics and current issues facing teens. The Youth Group is open to all Middle School and High School members and friends, grades 7-12. The Youth Ministry Team hosts a Fall Beach Retreat, a Winter Snow Retreat, and a Summer Lake Retreat each year. They also sponsor regular service events, and support and participate in family ministry activities like our Annual neighborhood Trunk 'n' Treat, and our Fall Oktoberfest celebration.
The Leader Team at Prince of Peace works with the Pastor and Church Staff to oversee, support, and give direction to all the ministry activities of our Congregation. They determine the overall ministry vision for our Church, set the annual operating budget, approve and manage ministry initiatives, and monitor the spiritual life of our membership. Membership on the Leader Team is open to all committed members of our Congregation, both men and women, who have a heart for ministry and a desire to serve. Contact our current Congregation President, Sharon Kravitz, for more information on how to become a part of the Leader Team.

Christ as Savior and Lord
We believe, teach and confess that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Lord, and that through faith in Him we receive forgiveness of sins, eternal life and salvation. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven and that all who die without faith in Him are eternally damned. We believe that those who believe in Christ will enjoy a blissful relationship with Him during the interim between their death and His second coming, and that on the last day their bodies will be raised.
Law and Gospel
We believe that the two chief doctrines of Holy Scripture, Law and Gospel, must be constantly and diligently proclaimed in the church of God until the end of the world, but with due distinction. The Law, as the expression of God's immutable will, is to be used by the church to bring men to a knowledge of their sins as well as to provide Christians with instruction about good works. The Gospel receives the primary emphasis in the ministry of the New Testament, for it is the message that God forgives them all their sins through Christ, accepts them for His sake as God's children, and out of pure grace, without any merit of their own, justifies and saves them.
The Mission of the Church
We believe, teach and confess that the primary mission of the church is to make disciples of every nation by bearing witness to Jesus Christ through the preaching of the Gospel and the administration of the Sacraments. Other necessary activities of the church, such as ministering to men's physical needs, are to serve the church's primary mission and its goal that men will believe and confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Holy Scripture
We believe, teach and confess that all Scripture is given by the inspiration of God the Holy Spirit and that God is therefore the true Author of every word of Scripture. We acknowledge that there is a qualitative difference between the inspired witness of Holy Scripture in all its parts and words and the witness of every other form of human expression, making the Bible a unique book.
We believe that all Scripture bears witness to Jesus Christ and that its primary purpose is to make men wise unto salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. We therefore affirm that the Scriptures are rightly used only when they are read from the perspective of justification by faith and the proper distinction between Law and Gospel.
We believe, teach and confess that the Gospel of the gracious justification of the sinner through faith in Jesus Christ is not only the chief doctrine of Holy Scripture and a basic presupposition for the interpretation of Scripture, but is the heart and center of our Christian faith and theology.
With Luther, we confess that God's Word cannot err. We therefore believe, teach and confess that since the Holy Scriptures are the Word of God, they contain no errors or contradictions but that they are in all their parts and words the infallible truth.
We believe, teach and confess that since the same God speaks throughout Holy Scripture, there is an organic unity both within and between the Old and New Testaments. While acknowledging the rich variety of language and style in Scripture and recognizing differences of emphasis in various accounts of the same event or topic, we nevertheless affirm that the same doctrine of the Gospel, in all its articles, is presented throughout the entire Scripture.
Original Sin
We believe, teach and confess that God, by the almighty power of His Word, created all things. We also believe that man, as the principal creature of God, was specially created in the image of God, that is, in a state of righteousness, innocence and blessedness.
We affirm that Adam and Eve were real historical human beings, the first two people in the world, and that their fall was a historical occurrence which brought sin into the world so that since the fall of Adam all men who are propagated according to nature are born in sin. We confess that man's fall necessitated the gracious redemptive work of Jesus Christ and that fallen man's only hope for salvation from his sin lies in Jesus Christ, his Redeemer and Lord.
Whoever desires to be saved must, above all, hold the catholic faith. Whoever does not keep it whole and undefiled will without doubt perish eternally.
And the catholic faith is this, that we worship one God in Trinity and Trinity in Unity, neither confusing the persons nor dividing the substance. For the Father is one person, the Son is another, and the Holy Spirit is another. But the Godhead of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit is one: the glory equal, the majesty coeternal. Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit: the Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, the Holy Spirit uncreated; the Father infinite, the Son infinite, the Holy Spirit infinite; the Father eternal, the Son eternal, the Holy Spirit eternal. And yet there are not three Eternals, but one Eternal, just as there are not three Uncreated or three Infinites, but one Uncreated and one Infinite. In the same way, the Father is almighty, the Son almighty, the Holy Spirit almighty; and yet there are not three Almighties, but one Almighty. So the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God; and yet there are not three Gods, but one God. So the Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, the Holy Spirit is Lord; and yet there are not three Lords, but one Lord. Just as we are compelled by the Christian truth to acknowledge each distinct person as God and Lord, so also are we prohibited by the catholic religion to say that there are three Gods or Lords.
The Father is not made nor created nor begotten by anyone. The Son is neither made nor created, but begotten of the Father alone. The Holy Spirit is of the Father and of the Son, neither made nor created nor begotten, but proceeding. Thus, there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Spirit, not three Holy Spirits. And in this Trinity none is before or after another; none is greater or less than another; but the whole three persons are coeternal with each other and coequal, so that in all things, as has been stated above, the Trinity in Unity and Unity in Trinity is to be worshiped. Therefore, whoever desires to be saved must think thus about the Trinity.
But it is also necessary for everlasting salvation that one faithfully believe the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, it is the right faith that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is at the same time both God and man. He is God, begotten from the substance of the Father before all ages; and He is man, born from the substance of His mother in this age: perfect God and perfect man, composed of a rational soul and human flesh; equal to the Father with respect to His divinity, less than the Father with respect to His humanity. Although He is God and man, He is not two, but one Christ: one, however, not by the conversion of the divinity into flesh, but by the assumption of the humanity into God; one altogether, not by confusion of substance, but by unity of person. For as the rational soul and flesh is one man, so God and man is one Christ, who suffered for our salvation, descended into hell, rose again the third day from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father, God Almighty, from whence He will come to judge the living and the dead. At His coming all people will rise again with their bodies and give an account concerning their own deeds. And those who have done good will enter into eternal life, and those who have done evil into eternal fire.
This is the catholic faith; whoever does not believe it faithfully and firmly cannot be saved.
(The ancient text definition of "catholic," means the whole Church as it confesses the wholeness of Christian doctrine)
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only‐begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures and ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. And He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, whose kingdom will have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins, and I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
("Us men" means all people)
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen

Footage of the Gateway to the West
Hello, I am Tom McMahon and I have been a commercial photographer off and on since the 1970's. Over the years using film cameras I have had problems with getting my photos to come out the exactly as I "saw" them when shooting the image. Now that digital photography has come about, I am now able make adjustments to the photo and get the look and feel to the image that I really like. I am involved with the whole process from shooting the photo to developing it myself. It has taken time and patience to get the work flow down and the color correction correct, but it has come together. Over the past several years I have attended four intensive workshops to make sure I am up to date with Photoshop and now Lightroom. The classes I have taken with Seth Resnick and Jamie Spritzer from D-65 have taken me where I need to be in this digital world of photography.
Since then, I have taken my photography to the next level by participating in a workshop with Jay Maisel. I thought I had my bar set high until I went to Jay's workshop; it needed to go much higher. Jay's passion for his work challenged me not only as a photographer but as a person. Jay provided just the right amount of "encouragement" to go out and really look at the world from a whole new perspective. The workshop was an intense yet supportive dialogue on all things creative through a camera's aperture. Jay's experience and talent provided the focus for each participant in the group. In Jay's critiques, he would bring up at looking at what is going on in the background of your photo. This forced me to look at my subject and how I put it in the frame in a different way. To put it simply, it was a great deal of fun while at the same time rewarding.
The next workshop I attended was the Maine Media Workshop with Arthur Meyerson. The class was titled "Color Of Light". My experience during Arthur's "Color Of Light," workshop was spectacular! The workshop challenged us to ease out of our comfort zones and abandon our familiar habits in order to introduce new ways of shooting our photos. Once we started to realize Arthur's method of encouraging creativity through fresh ways of thinking, it became more and more enjoyable. We had group critiques that took place everyday after shooting and they reinforced this, as well as brought fresh perspective to our work. The highlight for me was when I had a one-on-one session with Arthur the third day of class. That hour really helped me to see the good, the bad and the ugly of my work. Arthur's influence has shown me how to elevate the way I see, think about and shoot my photos. Arthur recognizes the personal style and vision of every photographer while he pushes you to try a different approach. Overall, the collective nature of this particular workshop energized me and helped me to visualize my photos in innovative ways. It was the best workshop I have attended and why I am joining him in Cuba this year.
I have taken my photography and video up another step again by adding DJI copters. With the copters I can give my clients a bird-eye view of their landscaping project, property or golf course. This is new, unique and impressive. I believe anyone that is in business today could benefit from the use of this media. Go to Aerial video and photography to see some examples.

The World Health Organization says a new coronavirus has killed two people in Jordan — the third country where the novel microbe has been traced.
That brings lab-confirmed cases to nine, with five fatalities.
The latest cases are actually the oldest known so far. They push the SARS-like virus's timeline three months back from the first reported case involving a 60-year-old man who died in Jedda, Saudi Arabia, last June.
Jordan's cases were found through new testing of blood and tissue samples from patients in a cluster of pneumonias of unknown origin that occurred last April at a hospital in Zarqa, near Jordan's capital of Amman.
Until now known cases have occurred further south in Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
The Jordan cases are also significant because they're part of an 11-person cluster of pneumonia that involved seven nurses and a doctor.
It's unclear whether either of the two new SARS-like cases involved health care workers, or whether the new coronavirus has been ruled out yet as the cause of the other pneumonias in that outbreak.
But whenever disease-trackers see clusters of infection involving caregivers, that raises their suspicion that a microbe has spread from person to person — most likely from patient to caregiver.
It doesn't have to mean that. Health care workers and patients could have acquired the infection from a shared environmental source.
But if the new virus is able to spread from person to person, even if inefficiently, that raises the possibility it can become more mobile, moving through human populations.
"Even if the cases in Jordan were human-to-human spread — and we don't know that — it wasn't sustained," WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl told the Canadian Press.
The possibility of person-to-person spread is also suggested by a cluster of coronavirus pneumonias reported on November 23 involving members of the same household in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Four men in that family fell ill with respiratory symptoms and two tested positive for the new coronavirus. The two others, one of whom died, are considered probable cases.
No one thinks that the new coronavirus is as big a threat as its notorious cousin, the one that precipitated the SARS epidemic in 2003 that quickly spread around the world and killed 916 people.
For one thing, health officials haven't found any cases of the new coronavirus among the millions of pilgrims who attended this fall's annual Hajj in Mecca, near the place where the Saudi man died in June.
On the other hand, nobody knows how big a problem the Arabian coronavirus may be — or even whether it is likely to be restricted to Arabia.
The WHO is urging medical and public health workers around the world to investigate clusters of unexplained pneumonia for a possible link to the new virus. It isn't calling for individual cases to be tested.
The agency "is convinced that whatever the source of the virus is, it is probably not unique to those countries," science journalist Helen Branswell writes in Scientific American.
Genetic testing suggests that the new virus is most closely related to one in bats. But that doesn't necessarily mean all human cases had direct contact with bats. There may be an intermediate carrier, and victims might have eaten food contaminated with dust, urine or feces from an infected animal.
At this point, it appears that researchers will find more human cases of the new virus. Each case, or cluster of cases, increases the chance that the source and mode of transmission will be found.
That effort will be accelerated by the development of a blood test for the virus, which Branswell reports may come in the next month or so. Right now diagnosis relies on a gene-amplification test, called PCR, which is cumbersome and sometimes hard to interpret. And it can't tell if someone had been exposed to the virus in the past but recovered.

Reduce Your Debt
Debts have become a normal part of every adult's life. For some, they are even necessary to fulfill their daily needs. However, debts can become problematic if a person doesn't have adequate skills to properly handle them. This is true, unfortunately, to a lot of people. What makes things worse are the unforeseen events, such as job loss and medical emergencies, that can lead to more debts.
Optimal Debt Solutions understands that even if you want to, some things can hinder you from clearing your debts. Our job is to help you overcome these hurdles and guide you on reducing your debt to eventually gain your financial stability back.
Our team of Essex credit management specialists has extensive experience in helping our clients address different types of debt problems, including the following:
1. Credit card debt
2. Medical bills
3. Unsecured loans
4. Payday loans
5. Collections Accounts
6. Repossessions
We know that some collection agencies tend to exercise aggressive methods, which we are here to stop. Our team will carefully assess every aspect of your situation to ensure that we will come up with the most efficient way of clearing your debts.
The goal is to minimize your debts through negotiations and better payment terms. Once we bring your debts down to a more manageable level, our focus will be on helping you make consistent payments and avoid acquiring any more debts in the future.
Debt Consolidation vs Debt Settlement
Debt settlement and debt consolidation are two options that people commonly look into as they seek ways to clear their debts. Both options can help you better manage your credit—much more with experts helping you in every decision making. However, debt consolidation and debt settlement utilize different strategies, and each has its pros and cons.
With debt consolidation, you will roll all your loans into one new loan. This means that you won't have to pay multiple creditors anymore. Instead, you will only make one regular payment and relieve some of your mental stress.
Ideally, the new loan should have a lower interest rate for you to have significant savings. However, only a few creditors will be willing to grant you a better interest rate if you've already acquired many debts. On the other hand, debt settlement is the process of refusing to pay your creditors and negotiating with them in order to only pay an amount lesser than your original debt. If your creditors agreed to settle, you would pay the agreed amount in a lump sum or series of installments.
Although debt settlement will significantly reduce your debt amount, it can negatively impact your credit score as well. Also, creditors can always deny your attempt to settle.
If you're not sure which method will work best for you, don't hesitate to ask for our assistance. With our expert credit management specialists on your side, you will not only find the best debt solution for your problem but will also see through it in the most efficient way possible.
Effective Credit Management
Proper credit management is not an easy task for many people. The lack of knowledge in financial management can lead to an accumulated large amount of debt over time. And once you're overwhelmed by the payments you have to make, paying a professional to help you with your debt seems to only add to your financial worries.
Fortunately, Optimal Debt Solutions can prove to you that we're here to help!

Aqueous Hobby Color is a very safe paint which has a high degree of user friendliness.
Aqueous Hobby Color paint can be diluted with water if desired, while paint brushes can be cleaned and washed out in water. Ensuring that this is beforethe paint is dry.
The solvent contained in Aqueous Hobby Color paint is very mild.
It provides a glossy texture and very good levelling qualities (ie the smoothness of coated film of paint), resulting in a very good level of painted finish. In particular, the gloss level achieved with the use of Aqueous Hobby Color gloss paints is excellent.
Gloss levels obtained using gloss coat Aqueous Hobby Colors can be adjusted by using H-40 Flat Base - mix approximately 5% of H-40 Flat Base to convert gloss colors to a matt finish, or 5 to 10% for a semi gloss finish. The percentage of Flat Base used can be adjusted to vary the amount of gloss level obtained.
It is not necessary to dilute Aqueous Hobby Color for brush painting as a basic rule, but if using an airbrush to spray Aqueous Hobby Color, dilute the paint with 100 to 150% Mr.Aqueous Hobby Color Thinner (T-110 0r T-111).
When brush painting, generally 1 to 2 coats are recommended, and 2 to 3 coats when using an air brush. If painting a light color over a darker base surface, more coats of paint may be required.

This college guide uses the most recent data available provided by the U.S. Department of Education. This information was last updated on October 10th, 2023.
Oakwood University Admission Requirements Guide
Whether you're just starting to consider Oakwood University as an option or are well into the application process, this guide will provide a comprehensive overview of the Oakwood University undergraduate admission requirements. After reading this guide, you will understand what needs to be done to maximize your chances of being admitted to this institution's undergraduate program.
Oakwood University Acceptance Rate
The Oakwood University admission rate was 71.85% for the most recent class. While this college isn't as hard to get into as the ivy league schools, substantial effort is still required for your application. If you ensure all of your required application materials are submitted to 71.85%, then you should have a decent chance of being accepted. (given that your academic profile measures up to the average metrics we are about to cover)
Oakwood University GPA Requirements
Every high school has its own method of constructing students' grade point averages (GPA). Some secondary schools use a weighted GPA system, where they take into account the rigor of honors courses and weigh them more heavily, and others use an unweighted GPA system, in which letter grades all carry the same weight regardless of the course's difficulty.
To level the playing field, schools often compare applicants through their unweighted GPA and consider the number of honors and advanced courses separately. This is how Oakwood University typically conducts its college application review process.
Oakwood University Average GPA
When looking at undergraduate students who were most recently admitted, the Oakwood University average GPA is 3. Although there are no GPA requirements for admission, it is strongly recommended that prospective students aim for at least a 3 to give themselves an adequate chance of being accepted into Oakwood University.
Oakwood University Application Requirements
Oakwood University has a solid undergraduate program. Oakwood University's admissions team extends offers to many students, although it's not a cakewalk to achieve admission. The college's application requirements need to be completed in a timely manner; here's what you need to know.
Does Oakwood University Use the Common App?
Oakwood University does not utilize the Common App for their admissions process. You can find information about Harvard's application portal by visiting the admissions page on the university's website.
Does Oakwood University Require Letters of Recommendation?
Oakwood University does not require a letter of recommendation from a teacher. Even though it's not required, you are allowed to submit a teacher recommendation letter as supplemental material in your application. It is highly recommended that you do so, especially if you have a strong relationship with a teacher who is willing to attest to your academic and interpersonal skills.

Have you always wanted to get into the house flipping business but had no idea where to start without any money? Don't worry, people do it all the time!
Many people are able to start with nothing and build their own real estate empire from the ground up! In this article, we will discuss 4 ways to flip houses with no money in North Carolina.
4 Ways to Flip Houses With No Money in North Carolina
You might think this sounds impossible, but people do it every day. If you want to flip houses with no money, you will need to do your homework and educate yourself on the process and what methods of funding are going to be the best option for YOU!
You should create a business plan outlining exactly how you intend your house flipping venture to work.
Find Some Partners
Think about who you know who may want to invest. Even think about people you don't know, but could pitch your investment idea to. This could be a friend, family member, business associate or possibly another real estate investor who would be willing to partner with you.
Once you have shared your strategy with your prospective partner, you can arrange for them to finance the deal, while you do all the work to get the job done.
Loans – Hard Money & Private
Getting a loan, whether hard money or through a private lender can be a great strategy for securing the cash you need to make a property investment. A private money loan is a great method as there are many people out there, with money just sitting in their bank accounts, waiting to invest with you.
They just don't know it yet. If you can present a tangible plan and reasons why they should invest with you, you will be able to find a private money lender who is ready to invest with you.
A hard money loan is also a great way to get the cash you need fast. However, the thing with hard money loans is that they often come with a high-interest rate as well as points. Because of the high-interest rates, hard money loans are great for a property you know you can flip fast.
They allow you to get the money you need quickly, just ensure you pay it back as soon as possible.
Use What You Got
Even if you don't have an abundance of cash at your disposal, you might have other assets you can use to secure the financing you need.
You can use a home you own, your IRA or retirement accounts and even your 401k to help get a line of credit. If you tap into any of these accounts for a down-payment, beware of the associated risks, and tax penalties for pulling out money early.
Mix & Match
Even if you can't get all of the funding you need using the methods above, you can mix and match the methods to achieve your goals.
Maybe a rich aunt will loan you part of the downpayment, and you are able to pull the remaining amount from an IRA. Or maybe you partner with an avid local investor, only investing a small amount you borrowed through a hard money loan.
However, you decide to invest, do your research and keep in mind all of the potential streams of credit that might be available to you!
