Went to a vigil to bear witness to the loss of innocent life in the US by authoritarian agents of my gov’t. It was 26 degrees outside; we had over 40 ppl. I counted affirmations (friendly honks, waves, thumbs ups) vs unfriendly responses (thumbs down, mad yelling, “birds”). Net +84 over the hour.

Hey #pcusa peeps. What are your go-to sources for high quality church and Bible visuals? Looking to add more visuals to my preaching. Extra points if there’s a subscription based source that supports its contributing photographers/artists.

First they came for the Episcopalians. Then they came for the Lutherans…

If I may: This is how I unload the silverware from the dishwasher when my wife is away. Three observations:
1)my method does lack a certain aesthetic. BUT
2)I can find the pieces as fast, if not faster, than using the organizer.
3)the unload time for me is .43s, vs 2m47s; over 99% more efficient.

Preached on the Nazareth manifesto in Luke 4. A hearer was very concerned that I’d missed the words “in spirit” after Jesus says “I came to proclaim good news to the poor.”

My sermon was about how the Church avoids axiomatic areas of ministry as defined by Jesus, and make excuses for our avoidance.

This will end up being a 10 hour fire. Don’t tell my wife, but I intend to install a crane and trammel system and then blacksmith my own hearth trivets.

Hey #PCUSA, anyone out there ever planned and implemented a church-wide membership drive? (Yeh yeh, I know “membership” as a concept, is increasingly blasé, but looking for resources, recommendations, and lived experiences)

Incorrect grammar is a thing up with which I will not put.

The comedic GOLD represented by my prior two posts is a mere glimpse of what you can expect by following me on this platform.
