Mr. Irrelevant

Pastoral Messages | February 15, 2024

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you likely know there was a pretty big football game that took place last Sunday evening. And there were plenty of interesting storylines to follow as the San Francisco 49ers squared off against the Kansas City…

Building bridges in a polarized world

Pastoral Messages | February 8, 2024

“I can’t be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t hold my views.” I’m paraphrasing a quote from a Christian friend with what many would consider progressive and inclusive positions on theological questions and various social issues relevant to o…

Quilters weave together care

News | February 1, 2024

In 2023, the St. Paul quilting ministry lovingly completed 89 full-sized quilts, 22 tweeners (or in-between sizes), and 69 baby quilts to be shared with those in need. These handcrafted creations were donated to Christian Family Care Center in Moline…

Moral beauty

Pastoral Messages | February 1, 2024

If I were to rank my weekly chores in the order of how much joy it brings, grocery shopping would generally be near the bottom. But this has changed since I started going to the Aldi store a few blocks from church. I like the fact that they have good…

Pothole  [ˈpätˌ(h)ōl]

Pastoral Messages | January 25, 2024

When the prophet Jeremiah tried to get the people of Israel to reckon with their shallowness, they refused. When he told them of their arrogance, they put cotton in their ears. When he warned them of a terrible fate from an invading nation if they di…

Focused on others

News | January 18, 2024

Lifelong member Sarah Lammers credits the St. Paul youth program for many positives in her life – a close mentor, deep friendships, a sense of independence, a broadened worldview, among others. And it’s just those kinds of things that Sarah wants to…

Lonely no more

Pastoral Messages | January 18, 2024

In early November of last year, there was a major rescue operation underway in a remote area of the Scottish Highlands. No, there were no people in grave danger. But there was a sheep. All by herself. Stranded along a shoreline with no way out.   As…

Carry the Holiday Forward

Pastoral Messages | January 11, 2024

Holidays are rarely just about a day. They’re not even really about a season. Holidays are about who we are and what we value. They bring those things into focus for a time so that we get our bearings again for all times.  We know this about Christma…

Living life in community

News | January 10, 2024

St. Paul people connect and find deep friendships and shared experiences in smaller group setting. Faith, Health, and Wholeness Coffee Chats (formerly Coffee Chats) started in 2020 during the pandemic to foster community and emotional and spiritual h…

There’s not an app for that

Pastoral Messages | January 4, 2024

What is the point of having a weather app on my phone? I asked myself this last week as I watched round, wet snowflakes come tumbling down at an angle from my office window. No one had warned me snow was coming. Least of all my weather app. I might a…

Growing older

News | December 28, 2023

After each one of my five children was born, I prayed that God would at least let me live until they were adults. I’m 88 years old, my oldest child is retired, and I’m blessed to have great-grandchildren. Did God answer that prayer or what?! We’re gr…

The gifts of our differences

Pastoral Messages | December 28, 2023

Nearly 20 years ago, my dad’s older brother, my Uncle Dillon, told me a story when we were together for Christmas that’s never left my mind.  It was the 1960s and Uncle Dillon, a Catholic, had just started seeing a Lutheran girl from school. They eac…
