  We pray. We study the Bible. We make friends. We tell our stories. We give ourselves away in generosity and service. A PERSONAL PRAYER Gracious God, Sometimes, it seems like I am gripped by fear. I watch the terrorist attacks, and I find myself playing out terrible scenarios in my mind. I look at my children and grandchildren, and am afraid for them and their futures. When I am faced with a difficult decision, I worry that I will make the wrong choice. Those demons, fear and anxiety, sometimes rule the day. I know that this is no good way to [...]

A PERSONAL PRAYER O God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry; When I have work, help me to remember the jobless; When I have a home, help me to remember those who have no home at all; When I am without pain, help me to remember those who suffer, And remembering, help me to destroy my complacency; bestir my compassion, and be concerned enough to help by word and deed, those who cry out for what we take for granted. Amen. Samuel Pugh I am so grateful, Lord. Really, I am. OK, I know I don’t always [...]

We pray. We study the Bible. We make friends. We tell our stories. We give ourselves away in generosity and service. A PERSONAL PRAYER God of all times, There are days I hear that voice in my head that I am absolutely sure is not you. It is a voice that comes from a dark place in my heart, a place where there is pain. It is a voice that judges someone else, a voice of self-righteousness, a voice that nurses ill-will and my own self as a victim. I unwillingly rehearse the words in my mind over and over… “He has [...]

Every time I come to commitment Sunday, I am convicted that I haven’t done all I said I would last year. I said I was going to quit worrying so much and start trusting you more. I said I was going to enjoy each day more and plan each day less. I said I was going to be liberated from slavery to a [...]

We pray. We study the Bible. We make friends. We tell our stories. We give ourselves away in generosity and service.   A PERSONAL PRAYER God, I am so grateful for those who gave and give themselves away in love to me. When I look back, my parents dragged me to church as a small child and must have planted a seed of faith in me. As a teenager, it was in the church family that I discovered real community, as so many people showed me what love looks like. Friends like Steve Warner and Mark Graham loved me joyously, [...]
