This past Monday and Tuesday, I co-led a clergy retreat at Bellwether Farm. It was an amazing time The purpose of the retreat was to remind and rekindle a sense of call. I was reminded of my call. I’m on a mission to re-humanize the church. The church is not the structure, the budget, the… Read More »

November Pastor’s Corner 2021
November is here and the little sunlight we get is all golden hour. What a blessing this month is and shall be for us.

Pastor’s Corner: October 2021
I can’t believe we’re talking about October. October is my holy month. I love it. The trees on fire and it ends with Halloween! Halloween is spooky but also the most community-focused holiday. You get to visit your neighbors, celebrate their creativity, and give out candy to strangers. That sounds like a picture of the… Read More »

Q&A: Abrahamic Faiths
The Summer Q&A has one more article after this.

It’s part-sermon, part… Read More »
Q&A: Left out of the Bible
I love this question and the person who asked it should go to seminary! When was the Bible organized into Old Testament and New Testament? Was anything left out? The earliest compilation of texts resembling the Christian Scriptures was the Muratorian Canon around 200 C.E. But it wasn’t until the 5th century that various Christian… Read More »
Q&A: Baptism
This week’s question is “Talk about Baptism as so many young parents are not getting their children baptized.” This question seems appropriate following two baptisms that we have had recently. Baptism is one of our two sacraments. John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the River Jordan. While the term baptism is not found in Jewish… Read More »
