SOME ITEMS FROM THE MAILBOX:

--Again, the blog continues to get questions and/or commentary about the GLOBAL METHODIST CHURCH (as opposed to the United Methodist Church). These questions and comments are best directed to the Global Methodist Church itself. Here are two sources: good luck.

Several residents are seeking affiliation with a MISSOURI SYNOD Lutheran church (as opposed to ELCA); to our knowledge the nearest Missouri Synod Lutheran Churches are The Ev. Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer, LCMS (ourredeemerlcms.org) in Peekskill and

A new resident wonders why "being the kind of health-conscious identity we have" that Croton does not have a farmer's market.

Let it suffice to say that Croton has had many farmer's markets; the operative word here is "had". (In short, such operations do not seem to do well here). For a list of nearby markets sponsored by DOWN TO EARTH, go to Our Farmer's Markets | Down to Earth Markets
