February 2012

February marks the final days of the season of Epiphany and the beginning of the season of Lent.

Then for a few weeks, we revel in the glory of the light that comes into the world, the wonder and awe and beauty of God's amazing love. more »

November 2011

The month of November is an important month. The nation pauses to give thanks, and we as a church add our voice to that thanksgiving. As I ran this morning my mind began to make a mental list.

My wife and I have been married for over 41 years, I have two grown sons, and their families, including a new granddaughter. I have a call to a strong church, like Holy Trinity, and the list could go on and on.

So we as Christians remember the Blood of the Lamb of God, who came to take away the sins of the world. more »
