We have a Leadership Institute that offers free classes in money matters, ethics, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, and in the core values of our brand.

Joe also started a program called The Fishing School in order to empower hourly employees to better themselves professionally by becoming managers and leaders. In addition, Jason's has a non-profit foundation to help our employees when in crisis.

Sunday church at First Lutheran Nashville TN http://www.first-lutheran-nashville.org/ 113 Eighth Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37203 Good morning. I hope you are having a great day. My message this Sunday is that I love all God's children, whatever their age, the color of their skin, the contents of their wallet, no matter whom they love, no matter what their faith, or how they worship – or not worship, where they were born, what they do for a living – or not do, how they speak, and whatever their abilities or disabilities; for we are all God's children, and in the end, we all are reconciled to God. Just saying. Sunday, March 12, 2017

Sunday church service at Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster - the first Sunday in Lent. www.gracelc.org


Sunday church service at Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster - the first Sunday in Lent.  www.gracelc.org A welcome and necessary brief break in the never-ending war against hunger, poverty, the intellectually stunted and the artistry disinclined. 4March2017

Pastor Kevin Clementson spoke to us about the expectations of having a life in Christ. In a message that highlights "This is not what I signed-up for," he shared that sometimes in our walk of faith, we are tempted and things do not go as planned. The hope for a perfect life often leads to disappointment.

This reinforces one of my foundation beliefs that our success in life greatly depends on how we respond positively to setbacks and  dissapointment.

Smaller businesses, individuals targeted

May open by summer

February 25, 2001|By Maria Blackburn | Maria Blackburn, SUN STAFF


[…]

New Windsor State Bank is the only locally owned and operated bank in Carroll County, according to Kevin E. Dayhoff, a director with Penn Mar who also is a Westminster city councilman.

The bank's board of directors have raised $1 million to fund the bank. They hope that a stock offering will raise an additional $5 million.

[…]

Seeking to provide personalized banking services to Carroll County customers, a group of area businessmen are working to establish a community bank in Westminster.

Penn Mar Bancshares Inc. recently received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to open Penn Mar Community Bank. Work has begun on the 4,500-square-foot building at Clifton Boulevard and Woodward Road.
