April is coming to a close, and May is fast approaching. As the days grow brighter and the flowers pop out of the ground, I find myself reflecting on my ministry and gifts and call. Spring is often a time when I feel like taking on something new, and this year I am signed up […]

Despite Monday’s snow, we are moving towards springtime, and that means it’s time to clean up our stretch of Delafield Road (Highway DR). We are planning to gather on Saturday, May 6 at 9 a.m. The group meets on the southeast corner of Delafield Road and Highway 67 and works their way east. Please sign

As you may have noticed, we are tweaking communion to accommodate my lack of mobility. I will sit in front of the altar to distribute bread. If you would like a blessing instead, please cross your arms. You can then move either to the right or to the left to receive the wine. The wine

We are entering into Lent, six weeks to prepare for the mystery of Holy Week and Easter. It’s a penitential season, a time to see where we have strayed or turned away from following Jesus, and an invitation to return. I appreciate having a specific season to remind me to check in, to discern the
