Amazed By God “Rocks” (Living Stones)! If you were here in the Summer of 2014, when the Amazed By God campaign began, you may remember putting your name on a large stone and perhaps you took it home with you until the church had a plan for its use.  Well…please get ready to bring them back!  The…

Living in a Spirit of Unity

I have been studying the New Testament book of Philippians in the last few weeks.  It is a beautiful section of Scripture that has a compelling message for today.  There are some major themes that flow into our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit through the mind and pen of the Apostle Paul.  Ultimately, they end up on a page…

Just Breathe

May is one of the craziest months in my life.  With all of the end-of-the-year celebrations, the graduations, getting my yard ready, preparing for summer, etc etc, life just seems to take on a life of it’s own.  It seems like I am constantly running from one thing to another.  Often it is during the craziest of times in my life that…

Service Opportunities for our Students

Between 3-4 AM we will be serving “lunch” to the Parker Police who…

What is God Calling You to Do?

As many of you know, I recently traveled with the Haiti Mission Team from PUMC to Gressier Haiti.  I believe everyone has a calling from God, we must learn to listen to that calling, and to make decisions in our lives in response to that calling. Our team helped at the school in delivering and organizing math curriculum, building a stage, and…

Too Much of a Good Thing?

Spring Greetings, I am writing this in the waning moments of this latest spring snow storm.  Outside my window on a huge pine tree, heavily snow-laden branches are being released from those wet mounds of snow as the branches move and shower snow downward and then return to their normal positions.  Sometimes there can be too much of a good thing:  too…

The Real Gift of Sacrificial Giving

Last month, the children of our church and preschool worked together to raise money for Heifer International.  In a combined effort, our children raised almost $1,400.  We were able to purchase a heifer, 2 llamas, 2 goats, 2 pigs, chickens, and even rabbits!  It was very touching to hear the stories of our children as they emptied their box of coins into the large jars.  Some…

Understanding the Global Issue of the UMC

“Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ!” That is the typical greeting that we find throughout the New Testament.  It serves as a word of blessing that is often directed to an individual but is also shared with entire groups of people.  The blessing is one that invites a response.  People hear those words and want to respond with a similar blessing.…

Put Your Talents to Work

The other day, I was feeling inspired as a parent and I decided to purposely speak truth and life into my children’s lives (don’t worry other parents who are struggling, these moments don’t happen often, I struggle just like you).  I called each of my boys over and spoke to them individually, specifically telling them things that I was proud of.  “I…
