CHRIST, THE REASON FOR EVERY SEASON
It’s September, and yet here we are, planning for Christmas. It might seem a bit early, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s never too soon to prepare for the celebration of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We often associate Christmas with snow, gifts, and family gatherings. But the true reason for the season is far more profound. It’s about the love of God, manifested in the person of Jesus Christ.“For God so loved the world that How COVID has affected us

Even the Smallest Person
One of my favorite movie phrases comes from The Lord of the Rings: “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.” This resonates with me because Freya was born at less than 4 lbs, she has changed the future of myself, Molly, and many others as well. This is one of the many reasons I love God’s word. It’s filled with stories of ordinary people doing crazy things for God. God can use anybody. God can use YOU. How COVID has affected us
“I don’t Know”
I hate not knowing the answer to a question. I don’t like having to say, “I don’t know.” I feel like it’s some sort of failure. A blemish in my character. I should know, but I don’t. It may also be a prideful thing. The professor, the teacher would know the answer. The student…probably not. Sometimes I don’t know because I have forgotten. Other times I don’t know because I never knew. Regardless of why I have to say “I don’t know” I How COVID has affected us
Sign Posts Pointing to God
God’s creation is fascinating! During our SCUBA VBS, the kids learned about different undersea animals. Did you know that the octopus has a tiny brain at the end of each of its 8 tentacles? That allows each one of its arms to move faster and independently. An octopus also has 3 hearts; 2 pump blood to the gills, and one to the rest of the body. It was on the 5th day of creation that God said, “Let the water team with living creatures…” An octopus How COVID has affected us
16 Freedoms we Have in Christ
This week people throughout the United States celebrate the freedom we have as Americans. But, the concept of freedom didn’t originate with the founding of the United States. It’s found throughout the pages of the Bible, culminating with the person and work of Christ. Jesus declared, “Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36). As believers, we enjoy numerous freedoms because of what Jesus has done for those who have placed their trust in How COVID has affected us
God Sighting
It’s VBS week! My favorite week of the year! Sara and her amazing team have spent nearly a year praying, planning, preparing, and praying some more – all to reach the children of our community in a real and impactful way. Each year the kids learn about “God Sightings” (those little moments in life where you can see His light shine through), and worship this morning was mine. I have the pleasure of being a “fly on the wall” in How COVID has affected us
The Week Before VBS
It never fails that I have the E-new article when life is a little crazy for me! Anita texted me this morning to remind me and offered to let me switch with someone. I decided I would let Paul help me out this week. I was reading Colossians and thought Chapter 3 was great. Let me tell you a little about my friend, Paul. He is in prison, but still writes letters of encouragement to others! I guess my life How COVID has affected us
Summertime
The sun is shining, warmth is in the air! We all know what that means; summertime is here! For many youth ministers across the country, that means camp is just around the corner. I am in full camp mode getting every detail locked in and ready to go for a fun week with high schoolers this July. The camp theme this summer is “You Be the Judge”. I will be challenging the campers to make good Godly choices in their How COVID has affected us
