Dear friends, One of my favorite parts of my job is working with the Stewardship Team.

Present to the beauty of the fall
“This is the day which the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” —Psalm 118:24 Dear friends, I love the fall. I can feel the autumn coming now…shorter days, cooler temperatures, the leaves beginning to turn. I can hardly wait for the fall colors. Although we had such a dry summer, I […]
Back in the Sanctuary
Dear friends, What a gift it has been to worship outdoors for the last four-and-a-half months! We have been blessed with amazing Sunday morning weather, and with the holy coincidence that the one 100-degree Sunday was the day we were already scheduled to worship in Plymouth Church’s air conditioning! We have been blessed with the […]
A Season of Anticipation
Thank you, thank you! In the time between my writing and your reading of this article, we will be even closer to our financial goal to have the finest technology we could imagine.

Turning Toward the Sun
“I don’t think there’s anything on this planet that more trumpets life than the sunflower. For me that’s because of the reason behind its name. Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun. During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky. […]
A birthday for the centuries!
Dear friends, 195 years! Wow! For 195 years people have gathered on this hill to worship God. We have sung and prayed, preached and pondered, shared Holy Communion and celebrated baptisms. We have studied the Bible, puzzled at Jesus’ teachings, and inspired our young people to grow in faith. For 195 years we have cared […]
