By the Rev. Jimmy Bartz I suppose on the outside, and especially on Sundays with the uniform and all the Episcopal regalia, I look like a pretty serious guy. But, this time of year, on the inside, I feel like a five-year old boy again! I love Christmas. I love the lights. I love the bows. I love Rudolph and what Burl Ives did for him. I love the angels and the sheep ranchers. I Read more…
By Lonnie Brown, Manager of Browse ‘N Buy A couple months back, someone came in to Browse ‘N Buy and asked if he could donate a vehicle. I reached out to several non-profit groups that work with families in need. We found a perfect fit for a single mother of two young children. They were commuting from Afton and taking the bus everywhere the family of three needed to go. We gave the Nissan Pathfinder Read more…

As liturgical Christians, we celebrate this season of Advent. Read more…

My mother was a member of her Altar Guild on Long Island for decades. Honestly, I didn’t give it one thought growing up. I don’t remember having even one conversation with my mom before she died in 2002 Read more…
I’ve had the rich blessing of calling Jackson home now for the last 15 months. And while sometimes I feel like we’re just getting started here (and we are,) I suspect by now you know me well enough to have some sense that I’m more drawn to micro-level discipleship than I’m drawn to the macro.
