We're wrapping up around here. I finished my December newsletter and it's in the mail. (You can read it here.) We had our last Bible study of the year and I finished preparations for my Sunday school class. I produced the last liturgy of the Pentecost Season and the first of Advent. Campus ministries are… Continue reading November 28, 2021 — Wrapping Up

Last week I accomplished my primary tasks. I spent the first half of the week preparing the December newsletter. The postal service has been slow all year, and with the holidays approaching, it was important to get this to the printers soon. The last half of the week was devoted to preparing my sermon for… Continue reading November 14, 2021 — At home

Last week held the standard ministry events: Sunday School class, meeting with our pastor, Bible study, Leadership Development course, administrative work. The big highlight was the Mid-Atlantic student training conference on Saturday. We began at 8:00 AM, so I drove to Newark, Delaware on Friday. Good thing. An Amazon Prime tractor trailer was stranded in… Continue reading November 7, 2021 — Training Conference

Our visitors are gone. Last week featured a more normal schedule: class on worship, meeting with our pastor, Bible study in Daniel, misc. odds and ends. A lot of odds and ends! I guess the pace of life had been more tiring than I realized -- I took a nap Friday afternoon! We spent an… Continue reading October 24, 2021 — Fall Routine

Yesterday was packed with visitors! Ruth stayed at church for a baby shower for a young mother-to-be in our congregation. She returned home just in time to welcome Josh and Alexi Callen and their two boys. Josh and Alexi were dedicated members of our ministry at Lehigh University and we hadn't seen them for a… Continue reading October 18, 2021 — Children!

We dropped Stephen off at the airport Wednesday morning a week and a half ago. That gave me half of a week to finish my regular tasks and prepare for a celebration at my childhood church. On Saturday (October 2) I attended the men's breakfast at our church, worked on list of outdoor chores, and… Continue reading October 10, 2021 — Comings and Goings

Last week was anchored by the fixed events: Sunday School lesson on worship, meeting with Matt (our pastor), and Bible study in Daniel. We studied Daniel chapter 2, where Nebuchadnezzar has a disturbing dream and attempts to kill all the wise men because they could not tell him what the dream was. When I asked… Continue reading September 26, 2021 — Fall Routine
