If the sun feels wonderful today, just imagine this…

Picture yourself this August on the deck of the Norwegian Escape, a cold beverage in hand, soaking up the 85-degree Caribbean sunshine. ☀️ No boots. No ice scrapers. Just warm breezes and turquoise water.

Join Diakon Living & Learning After 50 for a 10-night Caribbean cruise, August 19–29, 2026 and trade in your winter boots for flip-flops, relaxation, and a little adventure.

If you are ready to sail away, call Boscov’s Travel at the Fairlane Village Mall at 570-622-8983 or emailbostravpottsville@boscovs.com to book your cabin today!

Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day, a reminder that kindness doesn’t have to be big to matter.

At Diakon, we talk about DiaKINDNESS as a way of showing up with kindness, inclusion, neighborliness, and dependability in everyday interactions. We believe those small moments matter because they shape how people feel when they walk through our doors, ask for help, or trust someone to walk alongside them.

Here’s to carrying a little more kindness into the rest of the day!
