Advent devotion: Once in Royal David’s City

News | December 25, 2015

One of my favorite Christmas carols is Once in Royal David’s City. Whenever the music begins and I hear the soprano solo during the first verse, I get overwhelmed by the sacredness that is Christmas. Every time I sing this song, it evokes my memories…

Christmas family

Pastoral Messages | December 23, 2015

Growing up in Oklahoma, we never lived close to family. The closest were my grandparents in southwestern Minnesota. My mom was in charge of our church’s music program, so Christmas almost always meant worshiping at our church and settling in at home…

Advent devotion: Children singing

News | December 23, 2015

Of all of the senses that God has given me, I feel the ability to hear is the most precious. The sound of oncoming traffic protects me on my daily walks. The sound of the heat coming on in my home reminds me that I will be comfortable and warm on thi…

Advent devotion: Making room

News | December 22, 2015

But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. What could Mary have been feeling that first Christmas day so long ago? This short verse from Luke tells us she treasured and pondered after the shepherds had blustered into the stabl…

Advent devotion: New perspective

News | December 21, 2015

I have been on several mission trips in recent years. Each evening we gather as a group to reflect on the day’s activities. Why a time for reflection? We are in an unfamiliar area, with people we may not know, doing things we didn’t know we could do….

Advent devotion: (Not) invisible

News | December 20, 2015

I peered anxiously into the massive sanctuary and scanned the rapidly filling pews. Like a new college student choosing their seating assignment in class, I pondered the pros and cons of choosing one far, far in the back. I wasn’t always this hesitan…

Advent devotion: Open-arms hospitality

News | December 19, 2015

Hospitality. When we think of hospitality this season we might think of an invitation to a friend’s home. We arrive to see candles in the window and receive a warm hug at the door. Everything is festive: trees are decorated with sparkly, white lights…

Advent devotion: From heartache to jubilee

News | December 18, 2015

Watching falling snow at night in the street lights is one of my favorite things about this time of year. It brings a certain peace and serenity to the hustle and bustle surrounding the holiday season. We travel through uncertain weather to connect w…

Advent devotion: Three words

News | December 17, 2015

“Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart.” -Luke 2:19 What a delightful image for Advent. A time of new beginnings. As the darkness of winter closes in around us, I reflect on this simple passage. I treasure many of the words sp…

Advent devotion: A mother’s faith

News | December 16, 2015

This Advent season we are reminded in Luke 2:19 that “Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart.” As I ponder my life of faith, I recall the churches where my faith was formed: Presbyterian, Methodist, Catholic, and now Lutheran….

News | December 15, 2015

Little Jimmy Siokos walked into a movie theater with his dad when he was 5 years old. The year was 1977 and they were there to see the first Star Wars movie. Today, 38 years later, the countdown board in Mr. Siokos’ classroom at Sudlow Intermediate S…
