Recognizing Barnabas and All Extraordinary Encouragers

June 11, 2022 By Maria Kane 3 Comments

Five Loaves of Challah

October 13, 2021 By Susan Caldwell Leave a Comment

Autumn is a season for ingathering and for harvest. I enjoy seeing fall leaves and pumpkins appear as September weeks pass by. The large Harvest Moon rises, and the days grow cooler with crisp air coming in the mornings and evenings. Even here in California we start marking the days as “sweater weather.”
