Pastor Steve Thomas of the First Presbyterian Church of Cazenovia presents a check for $10,096 to support CazCares to Tom Seeley, Co-Chairman of the Board of CazCares. The donation represents all the proceeds from the second annual Open Your Heart event held at the church’s Meeting House in May. Several event organizers and volunteers [...]
ARBOR DAY Last weekend, the village of Cazenovia added a new tree to its plethora of stunningly beautiful trees. We have trees of all sorts: deciduous, evergreens, flowering, scented, old and young, trees that excite and delight our senses and turn spring days into a virtual kaleidoscope of color and scents. This new tree, [...]
Easter is a quiet, reflective time for me. Outside the flurry of the season’s special worship opportunities and celebrations, my mind and heart strive to “just be still” and ponder the reality of the object of our worship, the resurrection, as well as its meaning to human beings such as us. “Reality” may [...]
I have looked for the rational for “giving up something for Lent” and I get different answers where ever I look. So, here is the Thomas revised and reedited version. We are so busy in this world in which we live that we often “meet ourselves coming.” We are bombarded from all directions with messages [...]
In many respects, 2009 has been a challenging year for us. I think we are all ready to let it go and like Anne of Green Gables, start a new year “fresh, with no mistakes in it.” My prayer is that 2010 will be a new beginning for all of us. We have not done [...]

Celebration because the work is successfully done and achievements acknowledged; and grief because goodbyes need to be said [...]
I have been experiencing a great deal of gratitude of late for the church that you are. The source of my admiration comes out of your struggle to continue your outreach efforts in spite of the worst economic situation most of us have ever seen and its concomitant reduction of income from the Wendell-Hubbard Fund. [...]
Last week I went through yet another of life’s rights of passage. Gigi, the name Saunda gave to our new Garmin GPS, routed me through Syracuse to the Federal Building. After parking the car, I went to pay the attendant. He motioned for me to insert my card into a machine and I could leave [...]
Easter is a wonderful event celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We may get a little (or maybe a lot) annoyed with all the commercial hype and selling associated with this religious holiday, but we will be reminded that for many Easter is a time to celebrate the Christ’s victory over [...]
In today’s busy world it is a blessing to be reminded of the need for and to actually participate in a time of personal reflection. On Ash Wednesday, February 25th, we are invited by the season of Lent to enter into the desert and do just that. Lent means “fortieth day” and points us to [...]
