An Adoption Story

I hadn't noticed until someone pointed out to me many years ago just how many adoption stories there are in the scriptures!  Think Moses and Jesus and you are off to a momentous start!  This sermon is about the part of Romans 8 that speaks about God as an adoptive parent and shared something of my own journey with adoption:  "An Adoption Story"

Sermon: "A People Transformed"

I love Pentecost and tuning in the activity of the Holy Spirit in our midst!  I had great fun guest preaching for Pentecost at the North Canaan Congregational Church this year!

Sermon: "Friends in High Places"

I had a great time preaching at the Church in Naugatuck this week!  As I thought about what it meant that Jesus called us friends, I also found myself thinking about some of the special friends that have been part of my life - who have taught me something about what it means to be a friend with Jesus.  Here is the sermon:

Videos!

I am still new to blogging!  I got all excited today about putting up some wonderful videos I have done through the years, only to find that no matter what resolution I try, they are just too big to post!  One very helpful resource I have used in the past is my Dropbox account!  This has allowed me to share church videos and files with anyone by giving them the link.  So I set up a Ministry Scrapbook file where I can share videos and other gigabite eating resources with those who would like to see!  This is the masterlink to view the whole file:

I can also link to individual files on other posts!  There must be other ways to do this that I have yet to discover!

Blessings!

Creative Worship

I love collaborating on worship and finding ways to enrich it  with creativity!  Here is a slideshow of some of the things we have done at the Woodmont UCC and the Church of Christ in Goshen through the years!  I originally put it together for an Association Worship, but I updated it.  I love how the Holy Spirit moved in our midst!

New Beginnings

I have been blessed with some wonderful experiences collaborating in ministry at 3 wonderful churches!    Together, we have explored God's word and lived our faith in some interesting ways.  As I come through days of transition and reflection, I thought it might be a joy to "scrapbook" some of those experiences here!  This will definitely be a work in progress in the days ahead!
