Dear Church Community,
 
I write this on Ash Wednesday, as Putin marches on Ukraine, many other people suffer under violence and tyranny worldwide, and LGBTQ+ children and adults in our own country are oppressed by attitudes and laws that prevent them from being safe, accepted, and equal.
 
This is the time and place in which we live. Yet, as T.S. Eliot wrote in Ash Wednesday, “Time is always time, and place is always and only place.”

Dear Church Community,
 
As we move forward in 2022, I look forward to reaching out and connecting with other churches and communities that share our values. This includes UCC congregations, ecumenical Christian churches, interfaith groups, and non-profit secular organizations.

  • What does it mean to be interconnected?
  • Does God love everybody?
  • Is it possible to change the world by loving?
  • What does it

Yet sometimes when I share it, others have a different reaction. “All shall be well? That’s a stretch with everything going on in this world!” And I agree. It is a

Dear Church Community,

Today is the Feast of the Epiphany, and last year at this time I led a worship service in which we each paired a noun with an adjective to come up with our own “star words” for the year. Mine were Defiant Hope, and you know what? They’re still relevant!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d be actively dealing with Covid in 2022. But even though this isn’t the January I expected or desired,
