April is a month of transformation, reminding us that hard work can often grow into something beautiful. This month, we’re spotlighting one couple’s decades-long journey to restore and transform a piece of history, brick by brick.

In North Yorkshire, Mark and Carol Benson spent 30 years lovingly restoring a forgotten train station. What was once a derelict depot is now “The Old Station” — a one-of-a-kind destination where visitors can stay overnight in converted first-class train cars or a cozy cottage that was once a ticket office. They even salvaged original bricks from old buildings on the site to preserve its history.

Their story is proof that passion, patience, and a whole lot of dedication can bring even the most abandoned places back to life. Here’s to the dreamers and doers who remind us that with enough heart, anything can be transformed into something truly extraordinary.

Luke 24:6-7
6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’

May your spirits be lifted and your hearts filled with the warmth of God’s love. Happy Easter!

As summer approaches, protecting your skin is more important than ever! Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the U.S., but early detection can save lives. The good news? Medicare helps cover key services for detection and treatment.

What’s Covered?
✅ Doctor visits if your physician suspects skin cancer.
✅ Biopsies and necessary treatments (typically a portion of the cost)
✅ Preventive care discussions at your annual wellness visit

What’s Not Covered?
❌ Routine full-body skin exams (unless your doctor identifies a suspicious lesion)
❌ Cosmetic procedures like non-cancerous mole removal
❌ Sunscreen and other preventive skincare products (may be covered under some Medicare Advantage plans)
❌ Experimental or non-FDA-approved treatments

The best protection starts with prevention — wear sunscreen, seek shade, and check your skin regularly. Have questions about Medicare coverage? Our team is here to help!
