From the Choir Loft
Choir LoftWe have ministered at ‘St. Columban’s on the Lake’ a couple of times and have been asked to minister at the Chautauqua County Home and Fredonia Place. We are also planning to present our Christmas musical at St. Joe’s Roman Catholic Church in North Tonawanda. If you are looking for an opportunity to minister to others, how about joining us? We are looking for all kinds of help (singers, actors, audio, video, ushers, dancers, promotional help, etc.).

I was just wondering…
· How come “abbreviated” is such a long word?
· Since light travels faster than sound, isn't that why some people appear bright
until you hear them speak?
· Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didn't zigzag?
· If it's true that we are here to help others, then exactly what are the “OTHERS” here for?
· If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it ‘Fed UP?’
· If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead?"
· Do Lipton employees take coffee breaks?
· What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?
· Why do “tug” boats push their barges?
