Youth Director Leaves Us for Seminary

Ryan is leaving us to continue on his journey. As I was up this morning looking for words of inspiration to send him on his way I realized that all the really good quotes I kept running across where Irish and Scottish. It got me to thinking, My ancestors came from Denmark, didn’t Danish people ever say anything clever? Did they just forget to write it down while they were busy helping settle South Africa? Tis something to ponder. And if anyone can find something inspirational from Denmark please email me…

But for now, Ryan

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.





Call to Worship


In the midst of life's chaos
at the heart of our discontent
within the fragments of human brokenness,
lives the healing presence of God.

Beyond our fears and misgivings,
before the excuses and doubting,
at home within the honest and vulnerable,
lives the healing power of God.

Come, let us not pretend we do not know these places,
let us not avoid what is most real.
For in the facing and the accepting,
lives the healing embrace of God.
