“And things will get done not only by you, but by other people who need what it is that you want to do in your heart.”
“And things will get done not only by you, but by other people who need what it is that you want to do in your heart.”
“The church bids us slow down and prepare slowly and patiently for something as grand as the arrival of Jesus in our midst. What frustrates me each year, as I try my darnedest to be in Advent, is that as soon as Christmas arrives, all of the celebrations stop!”
“Why might we do this? Because it is something that matters.”
“We had come to the home of Dorothy, ‘The Root Beer Lady.'”
“It is no accident, is it, that Advent is marked by the lighting of candles? As the darkness increases over the weeks, we light more candles. As the pace of the holidays increase, can we also find more moments of hygge for ourselves and with those we love?”
“Chris Lilley shares the story of how he has experienced and sought to follow Jesus in his life and ministry.”
“Sally and Di helped participants think about how to engage their context more fully, and to discern how they might share the Gospel of Jesus with neighbors in new, simple, and organic ways.”
“There is no question our long term future will look very different from our recent past. This is only a bad thing if you believe the point of the church is to succeed as an institution at the center of power and influence rather than on the margins.”
“The future at St. Peter’s is fluid and unknown. It is not, however, a future filled with anxiety or fear.”
