If last year was a struggle for you, a prayer that 2020 lightens the load.

To a quick Irish quote: May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

As we reflect on 2019, it had its struggles that people lived through, including the world itself.

The constant is to keep moving forward amidst the struggles and challenges, working towards the best possible outcome.

Remembering that even through the negative times, some positive times also are present.

Life keeps us constantly busy and we look to 2020 for positive change for everyone, keep in mind to do our best to take care of ourselves too and through that we can take care of those close to us.

Resources can take many shapes and one of the most revered are our community volunteers.

We are thankful for the people in our community who volunteer in so many different areas of society, of course, the results of their efforts keeps communities humming along when they come to the rescue of challenging situations and effect change in many ways.

A huge thank you for all the support for our inaugural Carols in the Park on December 8.

The talented choirs and singers ensured a joyfulness and delightful experience and look onward to the second Carols in the Park in 2020.
