Got to spend my "off day" Saturday with twelve people discerning calls to holy orders, meeting parents of a newborn baby (9 weeks early but breathing on her own and doing well), and hospital visit to an aging parishioner.
Days like these make me wish I was full time. ⚓

🕊️ Praying in the Silence: A Sacred Goodbye When No One Else Was There
There are moments in ministry that mark you—not with fanfare or flashing clarity, but with quiet, undeniable power.

Somewhere around week three of Eastertide, the Easter energy fades. The lilies are gone. The attendance has settled back to normal. And the news cycle has not gotten any better.
This is where Jim Harnish's series does its most important work.

Yesterday was Ascension Thursday.
Most people didn't notice. It always falls on a Thursday, and Thursdays are not exactly prime church-going days. But this weekend, something worth your attention is waiting.

February brings the Lenten season—which means most pastors are simultaneously planning the most theologically dense worship of their year while personally wondering if they have anything left to offer it. #MinistryMatters #TheUnitedMethodistChurch #UMC

December is a paradox for ministry leaders. You're running flat-out with Advent programming, Christmas services, and year-end obligations—and yet it's also when you need to be thinking about Lent, which arrives earlier than you think (Ash Wednesday is February 18). #MinistryMatters #UMC

Ministry has always been close to my heart. One of the ways I serve is by helping feed the homeless through my local church.
