Pastor Martha Clementson shared a children’s sermon at services at Grace Lutheran Church this morning in Westminster, June 12, 2016.

Pastor Martha Clementson shared a children's sermon at services at Grace Lutheran Church this morning in Westminster, June 12, 2016. 

 
The gospel message this morning, 2 Samuel 11: 26- 12: 10, 13-15; and Luke 7: 36 – 8:3 appears to have been torn from a tawdry realty talk show. Pastor Martha did a great job of bringing it to life, making sense of it and making it relevant today. She taught us lessons that we can use in the coming weeks and months. And Galatians 2: 15-21, the third gospel lesson at services this morning; glued it all together.

Carroll County Times: "Basement fire draws six Carroll fire companies; no injuries reported," by Heather Mongilio May 31, 2016 http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/westminster/ph-cc-marshall-drive-westminster-fire-20160531-story.html

"Six Carroll County fire companies were called to the 500 block of Marshall Drive in Westminster for a house fire Tuesday afternoon.''

[…]

"The fire is suspected of starting in the basement, said Kevin Dayhoff, spokesman with the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department. No one was home at the time of the fire and there were no injuries reported among the firefighters, Stansbury said."

[…]

"Dayhoff said Westminster and other fire companies have noticed an uptick in calls, and he is encouraging people to be safe and careful.

"We're running ragged," he said. 'We're running endless calls." http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/westminster/ph-cc-marshall-drive-westminster-fire-20160531-story.html
