Remember Marilyn Gifford? Many of you who joined this church 15 years ago did so because Marilyn Gifford stood at the Fellowship Hall entrance every Sunday and said “Good morning!” to you. And now Dene Young “womans” that post. How would we eat if Morag took her gift and left? Or if Nancy, Chuck, Dick, and Elspeth didn’t count the collection money? Read the rest of this entry »

Before I begin, I was speaking to the Pathways kids this morning, as a member of the Co-pastor Nominating Committee, to update them on our progress. I asked them to write some advice for our new Co-pastor, whoever she will be. As for preaching, they said: Don’t give wordy and seemingly endless sermons. Make them interesting, engage the audience. Make sad topics funny, no one wants to be too sad. Well, I can promise none of those, today, but I will do my best. Read the rest of this entry »

Several weeks ago, Deanne and I hiked along the Slippery Rock Creek in McConnell’s State Park near Pittsburgh. The snowmelt and the rain caused the creek to run really fast – so much power coursing through the narrow passage. There were two kayakers who were brave – or stupid – enough to be on the creek that day. They had started from above the waterfall that powered a 19th century mill tourist stop. When we spoke with them, they were in an eddy near the bank, getting out of their kayaks so they could carry them below the waterfall into the really fast water – we are talking at least Class IV or maybe Class V in some spots.

I love the fact that as we look deeply and intentionally into ourselves, study, pray, and do acts of justice and mercy we are reminded of those in the early church whose self-examination prepared them to join themselves to Christ in baptism on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter.
