Occidental Grill and Seafood, 1475 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington DC 20004 www.occidentaldc.com 27Dec2017.


Once again this year we followed a family tradition to get together for a musical, opera, or theater event at places like the Kennedy Center in Washington DC or the Hippodrome in Baltimore. In the past we have taken cruises together or traveled to New York as a family. This year we went to see Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo, at 'The National Theater,' 1321 Pennsylvania Ave. NW 27Dec2017. Before the play, we shared dinner at Occidental Grill and Seafood, 1475 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington DC 20004 www.occidentaldc.com 27Dec2017. We really enjoyed the excellent production of Les Miserables – and really enjoyed the family time together.

Pastors’ study and the 9 a.m. contemporary service at Grace Lutheran Church

Pastors' study and the 9 a.m. contemporary service at Grace Lutheran Church. Today's discussion is focused upon 1 Thessalonians. "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing…"


Written by Paul, Thessalonians is the oldest written text in the "New Testament." It is fairly fascinating book.
