We held our annual Good Friday service earlier this evening.  It is always a very solemn, stark time as we “journey to the cross.”  It is an experiential service with readings, sharing and reflection on different meditations related to the last hours of Jesus’ life.   The meditations include sharing the Lord’s Supper, being with Jesus in the […]

A few weeks ago I wrote a Reflection encouraging people to take a moment to see the beauty in all the snow we have been getting.  You know, a “don’t curse the darkness but light a candle instead” type of perspective.  Which is true.  Just take a look at the picture above.   But I think I […]

When I was growing up as a Roman Catholic all I really knew were written and memorized prayers.  Rarely did I ever pray extemporaneously.      Then when I became a committed follower of Jesus  and attended an evangelical church all I ever did and saw modeled for me was to pray spontaneously, without any […]

Martin Luther King Jr. Day 1/15/18   “I Have A Dream” I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago a great American in whose symbolic shadow we stand today signed the Emancipation […]

 ‘Lord, Have Mercy’        People may remember the trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg who were tried in court for espionage against the United States.  They were found guilty and were sentenced to death for selling nuclear secrets to the Russians.  They died in the electric chair on June 19, 1953.   As the final […]
