On my day off today, we did quite a few things to prepare us for the upcoming Christmas season. I took advantage of the warm late fall weather. It was 60 degrees and sunny; a nice day to put up outside Christmas decorations. I’ve included a few pictures like the train and one of the [...]

The Purpose

This is something I’ve wanted to try since college. The Wesleyan Church does not typically use the lectionary. While in New York, my wife and I were involved in an ecumenical clergy group. All of the churches except ours, used the Revised Common Lectionary. I thought it was interesting that most of these churches read [...]
