The Second Cup: July 8 Edition

You've had your first cup of coffee; now relax with the second and see what's up for the day.

Good morning, Lake Saint Louis.

It's Friday! Of course that means it's . Did you see the items in the title? All of the items were things that were stolen. Does anyone else see a pattern here?

Friday also means it's house hunt day. I am constantly amazed at the wonderful variety in the houses in Lake Saint Louis, and in the pride their owners take in them. I was driving around neighborhoods earlier this week, and I saw a house that looked like it was lifted right out of the English countryside. Then, in another subdivision, a house in a Spanish hacienda style. Around another corner, a castle!

Later today we'll take a look at a church in Dardenne Prairie that not only permits texting, but has made it part of an engaging, interactive service.

Another story is also about a church—this one in O'Fallon. The church is bringing Cardinals, Rams and Blues players out Saturday to sign autographs. The event is a fundraiser for Missouri disaster relief.

I'd love to hear news from our churches here in St. Louis. Please send me press releases about your church events, or drop me a line at Tamara.Duncan@Patch.com if you've got an idea for a great church-related story.

Today in history, courtesy of the folks at History.com: In 1776, the Liberty Bell was rung to bring people out to hear the reading of the Declaration of Independence, newly arrived from the printer.
