Donut Day for Small Saves in This Week’s Cartoon

By |

James DeMarco grew up in Watertown and became a goaltender at age 5. It’s his life’s passion to stand between the pipes and keep the puck out of the net. Combining this with the love of cartooning Small Saves emerged in 1991 and took on a life of his own. “To play goal–then come home and draw Small Saves — is my ideal definition of a good day.”

Grace Chapel Watertown Hosting Pair of Christmas Eve Services

By |

Grace Chapel Watertown announced two Christmas Eve services at the church located at 525 Main St. in Watertown. Christmas tells the story of silence punctuated by sound — from a voice crying in the wilderness, to a baby crying in a cattle stall. Through Advent we journey alongside people who wonder about God’s silence; whose world needs heavenly peace; and who long for moments when all is calm, and hope shines bright. At a manger in Bethlehem, we — and they — find the God who came to be with us in seasons of silence and sound.
