January is a funny month to me — it’s the beginning of the calendar year, a time of new beginnings, resolution or intention-setting, and the end of the Christmas season on January 6. At the same time, it’s well into the church program year, school year, or any other time in our lives. January is … Continued
December has always felt like a lot of month to me — there are a bunch of holidays, and when I was growing up, it seemed like my mom always had Christmas music. We decorated the house big time with all sorts of decorations. There were all kinds of events to participate in and experience, … Continued
Our theme for November is “Holding History,” and I’ve been thinking about the wonder of this time of the year. Halloween and All Souls Day are two beloved holidays to me; Halloween was one of my grandmother’s birthdays. As the temps have finally started cooling some, it feels like fall, even though it’s much warmer … Continued
We are rolling into October and the best news for many of us is that we are reopening! It’s hard to believe that we’re just about there — and if you think it’s taken too long a time, your help and support in making things happen is always welcome. This has been a huge effort … Continued

From the Minister This summer has been moving so quickly, likely in part because of the work I have been doing, serving our faith in new ways. I was a Co-Lead of the Chaplain Team for our annual General Assembly in June. This was the first time I had ever volunteered for GA. It was … Continued

She will be available for emergency pastoral concerns only for the week she is on study leave – … Continued
Summer is fast approaching! Things are finally shifting as we are opening up after what has seemed like endless months apart. The church is opening for groups and we’re hoping that we’ll be able to open for in-person worship services in the fall. For many ministers, the summertime is a less active time, where programming … Continued
As I was preparing for the Flower Ceremony service (available on May 2), I was so aware of how hymns and other worship pieces are not written for those of us in a warmer year-round climate. I thought about the lovely “Spring Has Now Unwrapped the Flowers,” and thought, “It’s unwrapped some flowers…” And April showers bring May … Continued
Registrations for our annual General Assembly opened in January. I have never volunteered for General Assembly before but decided I was interested in doing so this year as a way to both serve our faith as well as grow my skills. Every opportunity for volunteering, I’ve offered myself, and expect to have some news to … Continued
