Celebrating Mom! As we approach Mother’s Day, I want to take a moment to acknowledge all of the incredible mother figures in my life. There have been so many wonderful women who have helped shape me into who I am today—and I don’t think I’ve ever truly said it—so thank you for everything you’ve givenContinue reading “Office Buzz 🐝”

Between Sundays is where most of the Christian life unfolds. Worship doesn’t pause when the service ends—it continues in quieter, everyday ways as the Holy Spirit shapes our hearts and habits.

Holy Work (and Paper Jams) The church office might look like a place for emails, bulletins, and calendar juggling—but it’s really frontline ministry (just with more coffee and occasional printer battles). Every phone call matters. Every schedule helps something meaningful happen. And yes, even fixing that mysterious copier issue for the third time today isContinue reading “Office Buzz 🐝”

And just like that, we are in the season of Easter. Although the Easter egg hunts are over, the season of Easter in the church continues—celebrated all the way until May 24, when we reach Pentecost Sunday.
