Cheering on

News | September 8, 2015

Beyond Words – Exploring key words of faith

News | September 3, 2015

Words have gravity and power. We contemplate them and “chew” on them because at a deep level they contain our feelings, aspirations, and thoughts. In many respects, words are the currency of living. They make meaning for our lives and help us order o…

A lifetime of practice

News | September 3, 2015

As a 15-year-old, Larry Minard asked his rather unapproachable pastor if he could come and practice on the church’s organ. The pastor offered to turn on the organ, and Larry sat down to play. He played for worship at church at 17, the old Lutheran li…

A gift in pausing

Pastoral Messages | September 2, 2015

It happens nearly every morning. After quite an effort, we are all ready to go and I open the back door for our three-year-old daughter. I hold the door open with my left arm, heavily laden with my work bag and a diaper bag filled with bottles, extra…

Gracious speech

Pastoral Messages | August 28, 2015

The ticket agent with the neatly tucked-in blue neck scarf never deserved the abusive language thrown her way. It was bad. The guy in front of me chewed her up like a smoothie blender gone haywire. I watched the nastiness unfold from only three feet…

On the airwaves, from miles away

News | August 27, 2015

Every Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m., people anywhere with a radio or Internet access can hear worship from St. Paul. A previous week’s service is condensed and played on WOC1420 and on iheartradio.com. Three volunteers rotate through this weekly duty,…

Growing butterflies

News | August 24, 2015

It’s just a tiny, tiny speck on the bottom of a milkweed leaf. Shaped a bit like a football, this beginning of life gives Carol Seitz great joy. Carol, a master gardener, is one of the people who tend to a butterfly garden on the grounds of the Iowa…

Coffee cups go compostable

Mission | August 17, 2015

It’s a subtle change at St. Paul’s donut counter. On Sunday mornings, the coffee flows at St. Paul. It’s a comfort, a treat, a warm-up on chilly days to have a cup of coffee in hand while enjoying a donut and conversation. The white disposable cups m…

A life of baseball

News | August 17, 2015

Dave Langrock stepped up to the plate during his first home game playing for the Cubs minor league team in Caldwell, Idaho. It was the mid-1960s, and Dave was just out of Wartburg College. He was the pitcher that game, and pitchers usually aren’t hit…

Feeding others

Mission | August 10, 2015

Slow Faith

News | August 2, 2015
