Our opportunity to share Jesus’ love with our children

Halloween is one of those celebrations that brings different opinions among Christians. Some enjoy the costumes, decorations, and traditions, while others have serious concerns about its meaning and even associate it with evil. I understand that we may have different perspectives, but I also believe that this season gives us a beautiful opportunity to connect with our neighbors and share God's love in simple ways.

We miss you, Spencer 

A few weeks ago, during our Blessing of the Animals, one of the young members of our congregation in Groveville brought a little ferret named Spencer. Along with the other animals gathered that afternoon, Spencer received a blessing as we gave thanks to God for the wonderful creatures who share our lives.

Last Saturday, during our Craft Fair, Spencer went missing.

The key word is: ‘Prevention’

September is Suicide Prevention Month, and perhaps the most important word in that phrase is 'prevention.' Suicide should not be something we speak about only after a tragedy has happened. Prevention invites us to talk, to listen, to learn, to notice one another, and to remind people that help is available and that no one should have to carry overwhelming pain alone.

Flash Flood Warning!

I was busy bringing together all the ingredients for a recipe passed down to me by my grandmother, preparing the dish I wanted to share with my siblings after worship. Almost two hours before the service was scheduled to begin, a traditional Colombian arroz con pollo was already warm and ready to be enjoyed.

Only the unforgivable needs forgiveness – Part I

The Power of Forgiveness | One of the most difficult things for human beings is both to forgive and to ask for forgiveness. Countless pages have been written on the subject in books, editorials, academic works, letters, blogs, social media posts, and articles. Illustrations such as the now familiar saying, “Not forgiving is like drinking poison and expecting it to harm the other person,” have become widely popular, yet the practice of forgiveness remains elusive for many because they simply do not know how to forgive.

Let’s plan… And have fun!

Sometimes when we hear the word “planning,” we immediately think about meetings, papers, difficult decisions, or long conversations. And yes, planning can certainly include all of those things. But planning can also be something beautiful, hopeful, and creative… It can even be fun!

Mom

...However, this is not the only way the Bible speaks about motherhood. I find it very interesting that the Scriptures do not idealize it. At all.

Actually, the Bible holds space for a wide range of experiences, including those that are difficult to name.

The strange way of Jesus | Part 2

... Some began to see the one they had called the “King of the Jews” as a disappointment. How could he ask them to forgive Rome? How could he speak of loving enemies when the people were suffering under oppression? A disappointed crowd can easily become a dangerous crowd, especially when religious leaders know how to manipulate emotions...
