Sadly we have more Funerals than Weddings at our church, well, really not that sad for God’s children, but, we finally had the occasion to take our big girls to a wedding. They don’t remember ever having been to one before. I think I was pregnant with Clara the last time Lily and I went to one together. Anyway the three of us got to go a couple weeks ago and watch “Daddy” marry a couple at our church.

Observing The Church Year In the Home

Tuesday, July 9th, 2013

Several years ago I decided to put the calendar of the Church to use in my home. I wanted to do this especially for my children, hoping to teach them and to anchor them in Scripture and the Church.

We Survived Bible School Week

Sunday, June 9th, 2013

 

We finished a week of Bible School Friday and I have to say we were all relieved to not have to get up and go to church Saturday morning! We’re worn out. Phil organized this year and he taught a class. I didn’t want to teach again so I lead the crafts instead. Fun, but tiring for all.

St. John Lutheran Church

Tuesday, November 8th, 2011


This is a picture of my vacancy church, perhaps soon to be part of a dual parish with the church I am currently called to.  Although it looks too good to be real, a member who lives near the church sent it to me.  It’s not always this pretty though.  I remember drifts a couple of winters ago over 8 ft tall on this gravel road.
