Parents Of Young Lutherans

Published in March 28th, 2010

Posted by Pastor in St. Stephen Lutheran Church

Parents of Young Lutherans meets the third Saturday of the month for dinner and relationship-building (translate: FUN!). Kids, of course, are part of the group. Everybody eats, and then there’s child care for the kids while the parents hang out together.

Look for these events to resume in the fall!

Welcome!

- The Faith Journey August 27, 2010
  “Eternal God, you call us to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (This prayer [...] […]

- My Monastic Prayer Stall August 25, 2010
  A feeling of confusion, of being unsettled. Fatigue. What’s up with that? The feeling persists. Not much sleep that night. Awake early. Some reading, but a feeling of disconnection. What’s going on? I’m grasping too much. Trying to force a resolution too much. Feeling the need to loosen my wound-up thinking: so I sit in the early [...] […]

- It’s So Easy to Forget August 18, 2010
  In recent days, I’ve been thinking about being sick. That’s because I’ve come back from a week in a monastery, and then a week of doing nothin’ at the beach, and now I’m trying to resist my old sinful self who defines himself by what he gets done. One would think that nearly dying would [...] […]

- Communities Change – II August 5, 2010
  A few days ago I poked around in the backyard of my father’s mother’s house, for the first time in decades. The yard has not been tended in years. Everything is overgrown. The foundations still exist for the garage, the chicken coop, but the buildings are gone. The house was vacant, so I was able [...] […]

- Communities Change – I August 4, 2010
  While I was at Mepkin Abbey, some of my reading was from a collection of Bob Benne’s essays. I e-mailed Bob a few days ago and told him I was enjoying the juxtaposition: spending time in a Trappist monastery, while reading his essays about how to think better as a Lutheran. He wrote back, “I [...] […]

- Where sermons come from July 20, 2010
  Here’s the way it works. Weeks earlier, I’ve gone through the lectionary, paying attention to which of the three passage catches my attention. I jot down a few ideas of why the passage seems important. Then, on the Monday of the week that the passage is going to be read, I do my work with the commentaries, [...] […]

- Listening July 20, 2010
  For the second morning in a row, this morning, when the clock struck 4:00, I was instantly awake and alert. The verse that has come to mind is from 1 Samuel 3: “Speak, for your servant is listening.” I think it’s part of the discernment process in our search process for a new staff member. We’ve [...] […]

- George Steinbrenner July 14, 2010
  How interesting to read all the nice things being said about George Steinbrenner, now that he’s died. (Come to think of it, I haven’t seen a “George Steinbrenner Ruined Baseball” T-Shirt in a good while, since his quieter son took over.) Since I think of life in terms of Christianity, I keep returning to Paul’s lists [...] […]

- Under Judgment July 13, 2010
  It rained last night! The roads were too wet for me to ride my bike. (This is something that I did not realize until I was dressed, had filled a water bottle, had topped off the air in the tires, and had walked the bike down the driveway, and actually looked at the [...] […]

- Well, we need the rain … July 10, 2010
  The alarm went off a few minutes before 6:00 this morning. I needed time to prepare, before leaving for a 54-mile bicycle ride in Sussex County beginning at 9:00 this morning. To get to the starting point of the ride, in Waverly, I would need to be on the 7:40 ferry across the James; the 8:00 [...] […]
