Money talks on July 4
Most of the time when we say, “Money Talks,” we mean that money and wealth carry persuasive power when important decisions are being made. But money also talks in another way: by the words that are emblazoned on our coins.

Building community
Faith Presbyterian Church pastor Rev. Jim Witherow seems to spend as much time outside the walls of his church as he does inside, striving to balance the needs of his 200-member congregation with the needs of a growing community.
