  • Out Our Way: Swimming the river

    Updated Sep 29, 2023

Seven times?’ Jesus answered, ‘Not seven but seventy times seven!’” Out our way you hear some amazing stories from time to time.

  • Pastors Corner: Do what God wants

    Updated Sep 29, 2023

    Contrary to my heartfelt belief, punctuation does matter - not just for writing, but for life also. The reading for our services this weekend are: Reading I: Ezekiel 18:25-28, Reading 2: Philippians 2:1-11, Gospel reading Matthew 21: 28-32. The first reading, from Ezekiel, calls us to turn away from evil so we might live in a loving relationship with God. Some of us may say that what God is asking of us is not fair because the evil we do might not seem evil to us. It is safe...

  • Havre holds successful Red Cross Blood Drive

    Updated Sep 28, 2023

    By Judy Vosen Local Red Cross blood drive volunteer coordinator The recent Havre Community Red Cross Blood Drive held at St. Jude Parish Center Monday, July 24, was once again a success. It saw 89 units collected, which is somewhat less than is usual for the community drive, but this drive had some extenuating circumstances.
