Within worship

Pastoral Messages | November 20, 2019

In praise of church basements

Pastoral Messages | November 13, 2019

Just last weekend I went to a dinner event with my family and one of the hosts inquired of me, “You work at St. Paul?” and then added, “it’s such a lovely facility.” In the short time since I started serving here, I’ve heard this compliment often. I…

Pastoral Messages | November 7, 2019

I was sitting in the back of a bus with some friends recently as the driver wound his way through some narrow streets in downtown Tel Aviv. One of these friends told a story with a closing line that caused others of us to erupt with laughter. It’s ha…

Surprised by thanks

Pastoral Messages | October 31, 2019

His favorite night of the year

Pastoral Messages | October 28, 2019

Last Halloween, as we made our way through our neighborhood trick-or-treating, my kids head up the sidewalk to a modest little bungalow. A few older kids walked around us, gushing with excitement. I overheard them say, “Seriously!?! That guy just gav…
