Husbands, wives spending time with same-sex friends can work
Q: Should husbands and wives have regular activities apart from each other with their friends of the same sex? I get out with some girlfriends two or three times a year and that’s plenty for me; I’d rather spend most of my time with my husband. But he likes to get together with his guy friends a couple of times each month. What are your thoughts? 03/22/2022 12:00 AM

Prayer cross
Prayer cross
In preparation for celebrating Easter on April 17, St. Mark Presbyterian Church invites Boerne residents to stop by the cross erected in front of the facility at 208 W. Bandera Road and leave a written prayer. Supplies are in a plastic tub secured at the base of the cross. All prayers are welcome – prayers for peace and fairness for all people and in all countries; for those who are sick, hungry, lonely or poor; for the cities and neighborhoods where we live; for all God’s creatures; for clean air, water and soil; and for the work of the whole church to show and tell the good news of Jesus.
