A stained glass nativity

News | December 1, 2015

My Grandma Peg’s stained-glass studio was in the basement of her house. Studio sounds awfully fancy – in actuality it was an unfinished basement with cement floors and cement block walls. She kept her glass grinder, soldering gun, and her collection…

Advent devotion: Fortune Lake

News | December 1, 2015

I was standing at the entryway of Birch Cabin watching my family drive away. My parents had met here as counselors, and now, at ten years old, I was carrying out the Fortune Lake Lutheran Camp legacy. I was alone and nervous in Crystal Falls, Michiga…

Advent devotion: Power tools & donuts

News | November 30, 2015

When I was preparing for my first mission trip two years ago, I was experiencing some serious doubt. I wanted to serve, and I was willing to work hard. What I doubted was whether I had enough skills to make a credible contribution. Prior to leaving,…

Advent devotion: Soaring

News | November 29, 2015

I enjoy feeding the birds. In my rational mind, I understand that the birds instinctually come to the feeders for the millet, the safflower and the thistle. However, in my heart, I feel they come because we are friends. We count on each other. We mee…

In praise of the piano bench

Pastoral Messages | November 25, 2015

There exists a little-known hero of Thanksgiving Day. The turkey gets all the accolades it needs. Presidents are even required to take a break from their busy days to pardon one. Even canned cranberries have their loyal fans. Then, of course, there’s…

Football mania

Pastoral Messages | November 19, 2015

I enjoy watching football. It doesn’t matter if it’s on a flat screen or in a stadium. There is that undeniable dopamine rush regardless of where one sits. How weird that some men wearing plastic helmets, and chasing after an oblong (sometimes-proper…

A half-million meals

Mission | November 19, 2015

The energy is contagious. Hundreds of Quad City teenagers rally each fall to collect as many green beans, corn, flour, macaroni & cheese, and countless other nonperishable food items. It’s called the Student Hunger Drive, and it helps stock the s…

ELCA statement on U.S. response to refugee resettlement

News | November 18, 2015

November 19, 2015 We are shocked and dismayed by the terrorist attacks in Paris, Beirut, Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East, but also in Nigeria, Kenya, Bangladesh and the Philippines. Senseless acts of terror will maim and forever have an impact…

Finding God in nature

Pastoral Messages | November 11, 2015

Part of my daily prayer practice is walking outside. I feel connected with God when I’m out in the fresh air. Some walks are for soaking in the day, while other walks turn into prayerful conversations with God.  I have learned to appreciate the pesky…

News | November 10, 2015

The songs began on a Tuesday evening in September. A few of the members of the Open Spirit contemporary ensemble – which provide worship leadership for St. Paul’s 11:45 a.m. service – got together at Hans Schnekloth’s house. Chris Ryan had created a…

Rethinking Poverty: The power of 40

Mission | November 10, 2015

What are the 40 positive assets in a young person’s life that can help them thrive? How can knowing and understanding these assets shape efforts to reach out to others, no matter their gender, age, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, or ability? R…
