A NOTE FROM ABBY HAMIILTON our celebrant and preacher last Sunday, February 3 rd . "With my deepest sympathy to the two Patriot's fans in the choir, I need to enforce what I tried to say last Sunday. The "lesson" from Super Bowl XLII is, once again, stay focused on the goal, work your best knowing that you are always part of a team, don't allow yourself to be intimidated by anyone else or anything anyone else has to say, and ....the "unbeatable" can be beaten. You go, folks! With much affection, Abby Hamilton."
