Have you ever given any thought to what makes a person important or valuable? Does one’s profession make a person more valuable or important? Is it their wealth or social status? What about their education, does that make them more valuable or important? What is it? What determines it? Can or could it be that value and importance has nothing to do with any of these? Is it possible that the most valuable and important people are the most inconspicuous people around us?
Jesus, in Matthew 20:25-28 had much to say about what it means to be a servant but sadly many want to be someone or somebody. There aren’t many that want to take on a role of a servant, particularly in the manner that Jesus describes as being a slave. But if you think of it, there are some in our everyday life that have in some sense taken on a role of servant, and some might even think of themselves as being slaves. But it is also a position of great importance and one that often comes with great honor. Who are these people? We call them mothers, or more fondly, “Mom.” They sacrifice a great deal. With the birth of a child their whole world changes. Concern for taking care of their own needs and desires suddenly becomes interrupted by the needs of another. They probably never thought about what this new role was going to bring, but it brings with it a great deal of responsibility. One that interrupts their sleep, quiet time, and everything else you can imagine.
Most mothers put the cares, needs and desires of their children above their own. Even for those that juggle careers with motherhood never fully get a break from being “Mom.” They may command others through their profession while sitting up with a sick child at night simply because they’re “Mom.” We may not think of mothers as being servants, but they have given up a lot to bring you into the world. Perhaps it’s time to thank them for their sacrifice. Think about it.

HARRISBURG, PA (May 17) – The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) is proud to join with the National Safe Boating Council and other boating safety advocates across the country to celebrate National Safe Boating Week from May 18-24, 2024!
“All across Pennsylvania, excitement is building for the unofficial start to the summer boating season, which happens this upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend,” said Paul Littman, Director of the PFBC Bureau of Boating. “Whether you plan to go paddling, waterskiing, fishing, or just relaxing on a pontoon boat, National Safe Boating Week is a reminder that every boating adventure should begin with a few safety steps to keep you out of trouble so you can focus on having fun.”
Boaters are encouraged to follow a checklist of basic safety guidelines before and during each boating adventure, including:
Always wear a life jacket
Never boat while impaired by alcohol or drugs
Have a float plan to let someone know when and where you will be boating
Check the weather forecast for storms and high water conditions
Take a boating safety course
Have proper registrations or launch permits for your boat
As a reminder, the legal limit for operating any watercraft in Pennsylvania is .08% blood alcohol concentration, and penalties for boating under the influence are similar to those for driving a motor vehicle while impaired. PFBC Waterways Conservation Officers will be on patrol throughout the boating season looking for impaired boaters.

I need help hanging the flags on poles at NOON. Many hands make light work. If you can help, bring a truck and ladder. We will meet at the firehall parking lot. All the prep work is done. I need volunteers to put flags in the brackets on the poles. 1 hour of your time is all it should take.
If you enjoy the beautiful flags in our community, this is your chance to be a part of the project this year.
