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 […]

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 […]

Courageous Commitments

Summer Music Opportunities
Introducing “Morning Glory”As we welcome summer, our outdoor services will frequently include opportunities to lead the congregation in song as a “pick-up choir.” I’ve never really liked that term, feeling that it suggests an inferiority or sloppiness. Still, you may hear it mentioned from time to time and you might wonder what it means exactly. […]
Courage
“Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for God is with you wherever you go.”—Joshua 1:9 Dear friends, Anyone like country music? A number of years ago, the Dixie Chicks (now just The Chicks) were one of the most successful female bands in history. These three very young women were at the top […]

You will hear lots about my sabbatical in the coming months. It began with ten days in New Mexico. I flew into Albuquerque, where my […]
