In Different Hands

January 31, 2019 by Rick Seaholm

Sharp ears may be thrown on February 24 when the choir sings the hymn tune “Nettleton” for the second week in a row. We often sing service music on a repeat basis, even for a full season, but to my recollection we’ve never repeated an anthem tune in such proximity. The two settings use different […]

Confirmation: The Journey Begins

January 31, 2019 by Rev. Debbie Clark

Dear friends, Over the next four months, you will periodically see a few youth from Plymouth (along with Rev. Will Tanner) rushing into our church after worship, or a few youth from Edwards (along with me) rushing out. That’s because we are beginning a shared Confirmation Class. Two young men from Plymouth will join with […]

Dear friends, By the first weekend in January, the Christmas decorations have begun to come down, dried-up Christmas trees are on the front curb awaiting trash pick-up, and the post-Christmas sale rush is over. Just when we think things are getting back to normal, it’s time for another joyous celebration! On Sunday, January 6th, we […]

The Traditions of the Season

December 1, 2018 by Rev. Debbie Clark

Dear friends, As we enter into the season of Advent, we enter a season of tradition. Traditions ground us in a rapidly changing world. They bring us together in a world that is increasingly isolating. They remind us of the meaning of Christmas in a time when shopping and stress can take over. At their […]

As Thanksgiving passes us by, church musicians around the country get that giddy feeling that can only mean one thing. We’ll soon be singing our favorite Advent and Christmas music in our sanctuaries. This year we will welcome Advent with a special setting of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” which sharp ears will recognize from […]

Beauty Beyond What We See

Psalm 65; Philippians 4:4-9 “Remember,” the gentle, soft-spoken Buddhist monk began, “last time I asked you to practice focusing your awareness on your lustful thoughts. Did you notice your lustful thoughts this week?” I looked across the half-circle of meditation students and saw the startled faces of two newcomers. I imagined what they might have […]

Dear friends, Over the last few weeks, the news on TV has been overwhelming. Along with many of you, I have struggled to know what to do with my outrage, distress and fear at acts of hatred and terror in places that are supposed to be safe. This week the news has hit home. Two […]
