Dear All, Today is Children’s Chapel – an opportunity for our young ones to learn what is expected of them in a sacred space. To learn how to be still in God’s presence which is a bit difficult for our wiggly young ones. Even as adults, it can be challenging to sit for an hour […]

Dear All, March is turning out to be a busy month with much to do and ponder. I attended a very interesting webinar, “Not too Little to Lead”, which discussed the ways to have children & youth participate in worship on a regular basis. It also offered suggestions on how youth can be leaders in […]

Dear All, We are now in the season of Lent. We hear of the 40 days of Lent –which if you count the days accurately – do not include Sundays. Which means if you are having a party, it really should be on a Sunday. Lent is a special season and calls for austerity to […]

December 7, 2025 Dear All, I’m not sure that I have anything wise or particularly wonderful to say to you all today. I suspect you also have those days. I finished up the bulletins for Advent and Christmas and started working on Epiphany season liturgies. I drafted and sent off the worship leaders’ schedule for […]

November 9, 2025 Dear All, It is chaos at the office today – concrete truck in the parking lot pouring cement to create our new heated snow melting pad – electricians drilling holes and installing wire for a switch that will control the snow melting pad – the Bishop coming to park here so she […]
