The idea is the brain child of the Museum Manager, Dawn Colby, who encourages people to participate in the Take a Selfie Contest to win free museum...

Several weeks ago, I was visiting John and Carol when a man showed up with clippers and scissors. Alfredo, or Freddy, as John called him, made house calls. I asked if I could get a trim also, since I was beyond shaggy and had been cutting my own hair, never a good...
(1 Corinthians 16:14). There are some verses that speak to every age and every circumstance. “Let all that you do be done in love” is one of those.

In a beautiful example of Christian unity here in Havre, five churches—plus a pair of counselors from Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp—come together to put on VBS for the entire co...

He preached, quoting 1Peter 3:4 "Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfolding beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." He suggested that we should make a point to truly look into the eyes of people we encounter this week. Be bold and mention something beautiful you see within each person." Barb said she'd gone shopping and entering the che...
