Amy Carder (Parish 3) It’s hard to believe that my daughter, Lauren, is graduating from Barrington High School in just a few weeks. On the one hand, it seems a long time since we held her in our arms, in her little white dress, at the front of this church, praying that she wouldn’t spit up on Pastor Dan as … Continue reading →
Although protestants are not required to give up anything for Lent, I sometimes try to do it as a way to remember what Jesus went through before his crucifixion. Rather than just give up chocolate, I prefer to try to give up some bad habits. Many years ago I found this list and stuck it away. Cleaning out files and … Continue reading →
I recall my grandfather was a deacon at his church, so when I was called again to be a deacon here, I immediately said yes. I said yes because I wish to serve more, to do more as a Christian to serve others, and to possibly be that beacon for my kids as my grandparents were for me because their … Continue reading →

My husband, Stan, and I have been members of PCB since 2009. One of the things that attracted us to this church was the music program. It is truly one of the finest in the area. As musicians ourselves, we have played in many other churches through the years, and find that poor quality of music, poorly performed music, or … Continue reading →
As this article is appearing in the enewsletter, Barrie and I will be on an Alaskan cruise in celebration on our 50th wedding anniversary. We were married in the Presbyterian Church of Barrington on August 24, 1968 by the Rev. Vic Brown. Over the years this church has been a very important part of our lives together. We have had … Continue reading →
Now that I am a Deacon, I can truly understand their importance in our church along with the ministers and congregation during a difficult time. Our family was grateful to have their love and support over a year and a half ago. Our sweet daughter, Amy Lanning Becerra, age 38, passed away due to an infection after she received her … Continue reading →
As I’m writing this article, it’s the end of March and the temperature is fluctuating between the 30’s and the 50’s, but will not stay warm after only flirting with it. It’s still rather cold, and even though the sun is shining, the wind is always blowing. Spring is officially here, but it doesn’t feel like it! When my daughter … Continue reading →
