Cleaning my desk: Two links for sermons in mid-Michigan churches

This morning I'm cleaning off my desk and found two flyers I've been saving from mid-Michigan churches because I wanted their web addresses, particularly for their sermon archives.  I enjoy listening to other pastors preach about God's word and how it applies to our lives.  The two links are from:

• New Hope Church in Haslett (MI) just east of Lansing and which has a tagline on its bulletins that says, "Learning, Loving, Worship, Prayer."  In its sermon archive, the last sermon posted is dated Oct. 26. 
• Trinity Church on the south end of the Lansing (MI) area is a large church regarded for its preaching and for its worship.  

Has anybody been there?  How would you rate the experience?  What criteria do you look for in a church?

Detroit Free Press profiles Michigan as it transitions from manufacturing greatness to great uncertainty

People in Michigan don't see a light at the end of the economic tunnel and their uncertainty made itself known in a profile in today's Detroit Free Press.  It's hard to read, especially for anybody who lives here.

We are a state that has experienced economic cycles where during a downturn everybody knew that things would get better.  The story shows that everybody interviewed sees no hope for the state's economy.

There were no interviews in the Detroit-area, Flint, Saginaw-Bay City where the pessimism has to be stronger.
