With podcasts, YouTube videos and social media galore, one Upper Dublin church hopes to show a younger generation what religion can be.
Podcasts. YouTube. Facebook Likes. They aren't really the terms one hears during the Sunday Sermon. But, that's rather precisely the point. Upper Dublin Lutheran Church is hoping that by bringing its religion into the modern times, it can help to reach different generations with its teachings. Lead Pastor Dyan Lawlor credits her fellow pastor, Keith Anderson, and the youth minister Ray Hopkins, for most of the modernization of her congregation. "I've been here nine years," said Lawlor. "I have ideas, things I'd like to have happening, and then I find out who can do it." Among the new ideas, the church has begun posting the weekly sermons onto the website. Podcasts of the lessons are each availble, free of charge, for download from the …

A New York-style fashion show is coming to the Ambler Theater, hosted by women's boutique Frox.

Two Ambler residents file suit against Anheuser-Busch for watering down its beer.
They pound more than a case of Bud a week, between the two of them, and they have been for four years. But, when two Ambler (Montgomery County) brothers couldn't get drunk from the suds, they decided it was Bud's fault. According to multiple media reports, brothers Thomas and Gerald Greenberg have filed a federal lawsuit alleging that brewer "InBev's Anheuser-Busch," the U.S. makers of products such as Budweiser and Michelob. Their claim? The beer doesn't pack the 5 percent punch of alcohol content it promises. According to a report in the Morning Call, Busch "denies that it shortchanges guzzlers when it comes to that 5.0 percent." Nevertheless, the two have hired Philadelphia-based lawyer David Senoff to file the lawsuit, according to …

Andthatsthetruth. I know what you meant. I was saying that not only did they have fish but they also had produce which no where around here has at the moment. I do grow my own tomatoes in the spring and summer but CLEARLY that can not be done right now due to the weather. Produce junction has the worst produce ever and I would NEVER shop there.
