The Happy Woman Store What would YOU do for a cupcake?

I’ve never been a girl who excelled in sports. While other kids were playing basketball and softball, I was studying the dictionary for the next spelling bee. In 3rd grade, I was scheduled to run the 100 yard dash on Field Day and, right before the race, I fell from the monkey bars and had to disqualify myself because I had a stomach ache. Coincidence? Mmmmm….no. I was a cheerleader for awhile, but that’s not really a sport, right? Right leg out, left leg out. Two claps. Go team. In high school… Continue

Congo Line Thanksgiving Reflections from Rev. Robin Long

From The Pastor Ah, can’t you just smell it—the turkey, the stuffing, the potatoes, the pie, Grandma’s perfume—the welcome smells of the Thanksgiving holiday. Well, until you’re done with dinner at which point the smells become nauseating, the site of the turkey carcass on the table haunts you, and Grandma’s perfume is giving you a headache. And this is to say nothing of the fact that the seams in your pants are ready to burst and send corduroy flying to the outer recesses of the dining r… Continue

Congo Line Giving Tree Changes at Suttons Bay Congregational Church

The Missions Committee at Suttons Bay Congregational Church is revising the traditional Giving Tree program this holiday season. Instead of putting out “ornaments” with items for you to purchase and wrap, the Missions Committee would like you to purchase Gift Cards (any dollar amount) from Meijer, Target, or Walmart. We will divide these up between 2 or 3 families. This way we can empower these families to have the pleasure of shopping for their children and make sure of the correct sizes, color… Continue
