Dear Friends,
I was pleased at how many of you said Sunday’s message on Spiritual Pathways was interesting and helpful. Even a first-time visitor commented that all the people in her family were different and no one seemed just alike in how they preferred to draw close to God. If you are interested in a comparative [...]

Dear Friends,
Occasionally, I watch CNN mostly to get headlines. It seems lately they devote more and more time to a special feature called “i-report.” Perhaps, you know what I’m talking about. They invite viewers to send in stories with photos and videos of what’s happening in their neighborhood, news they witness unfolding before their eyes. [...]

Hi Friends,
What wonderful worship last Sunday! It was great to see so many of you there, including students back in town. I know you enjoyed Shawn and Jamie’s music as much as I did because I could see it on your faces and in your enthusiasm. We talked about how God’s Holy Spirit is our [...]

The Holy Post - Oct-Nov 09

Dear Friends,
In a recent sermon, I lifted up the importance of opportunities. Galatians 5:16 says “make the most of every opportunity.”  God opens windows for us every day to share the love of Christ. Are we open and eager to find them? As a church we can take advantage of opportunities right in front of [...]

Dear Friends,
As many of you know, I traveled this weekend to Arlington National Cemetery for the burial of my grandfather’s remains. Truly, it is sacred ground with the sacrifice of so many lives represented there. Most of us reflect on such struggles and sacrifice and give thanks for our freedom, being grateful for the widespread [...]

Dear Friends,
God’s grace is rarely as clear as it is with a newborn baby; and pure joy (albeit mixed with fatigue) is rarely so evident as it is on the faces of new parents. What a blessing it was to share in the Prado family’s joy this last week as their church!
