As our communities settle into our version of the winter season December calls to mind the past year and our personal reflections of 2023 with the blessings, challenges and transitions. It also affords us the time to look beyond the darkness of these time be it war, division, struggle or simply the negative. Beyond darkness is the Light and that’s why so many in our community.
Major Brenda from the Salvation Army in Lehigh once again sends out the call for donations and participation in the Kettle and Angel Tree Programs. Please see her article and if you can – give her a call. The Lehigh Service Office is available for assistance for those in need of help. The Office is open at 25 Homestead Road #42.
