I am amazed each week at the number of people who watch the Sunday morning worship service. Many of these viewers watch at another time during the week. Sometime during each week somewhere between seventy and ninety people tune in to worship with us and check in to see what Spring Creek United Church of Christ is doing. I am not familiar with all the names of the people who watch and there are many who leave no name at all.

Before widespread air conditioning people seemed to take the dog days seriously and slowed down the pace of life. Many folks planned vacations for the days of August. Through three dog nights or dog days of su

See the USA in your Chevrolet. America is asking you to call. Drive your Chevrolet in the USA. America's the greatest land of all. (Big Kiss) Those of a certain age will remember this song and the kiss performed by Dinah Shore at the end of her variety show broadcast in glorious black and while. At the time these words rang true. In the fifty or so years that have passed we are seeing things differently. There have been changes: Before COVID-19 Americans were more eager to travel overseas and to go on cruises than tour the States in a car. Americans are no longer favored visitors in many foreign capitals but are seen as demanding tourists. Chevrolets are no longer the all-American automobile
