Over 20 local businesses plus three of our ministries will be putting the final touches on our booths today.

Simple Yet Powerful

We’re gearing up for our annual Christmas Market at church. It’s held the third weekend in November and we host local businesses from the community in addition to a few of our own church ministries, (like our canned jams and jellies).

The Reason for Doing

Something struck me this morning as I logged in to write this little blog. My website for Inspirasuns is very small, just two pages. The homepage is where my most recent blogs are shown and then there is a page where you can find all all of the blogs I’ve written. I’ve kept it simple…

Chocolate Chips and Father

I have a new team member that started in the office yesterday. I’m sure you all know how it goes, you are excited to have them however you have the challenge of training them while you know your inbox is filling and the boxes on your specific to-do list remain unchecked. It is what it…

Your Kit

We have a few special volunteers at our church. Well, all of our volunteers are special, however this group handles a ministry that has a special place in my heart. You see my husband and I participated in it for many, many years back home, and are looking to start back into it. This group…

The Garden

The past few weeks I’ve been enjoying watching the updates from friends and family as they plant their gardens. For many, it’s actually their first time putting in a garden, and it’s been fun to watch their excitement grow as their crop grows. Many of my friends are starting gardens for the first time with…
