Greetings friends, in the name of our lovely & loving Lord! And, yes Jesus is quite the agitator also! The Lenten drama details our lovely and loving Lord pushing the authorities on the “here and now” of Shalom (Thy Kindom Come). We know this, and cringe in remembering how “they” treated Jesus (Palm Sunday, Good [...]

Light of God at Phil Wickham Concert

The concert we took the Confirmands to on Sunday night was great– Phil Wickham was really powerful: kind of a rocker and contemporary worship leader. And it is SO amazing to me to see how much the teens have matured over the years under Jenn’s leadership. They are really great kids- and Jenn and Steph (and [...]

A couple of light of God moments today at VBS – One 6 year old boy looked up at me today and said, “I believe in God, do you know that?” When my 5 year old daughter and I were driving home from VBS and saw a double rainbow and got to talk about how [...]

Director, Jenn Macy, introduced us to W.O.R.M. (Workshop Rotation Model). Our youth amaze me and the experience to be with them for a month was something I’ll never forget. [...]
