I'm on vacation, so I'll be brief. Last week was full of meetings. Monday I joined the local PCA pastors for lunch and Tuesday I met with the RUF committee of our presbytery.

Today I swapped the pulpit for the lectern - I'm back at Lehigh Valley Presbyterian Church teaching Sunday School. I had a great time in Alaska and the people there were wonderful, but it's even more wonderful to be back home.

I feel as though I am slowly getting to know the congregation and am enjoying the opportunity to minister here. If only Ruth could be with me! Last week I settled into a productive routine. I drove 10… Continue reading December 16, 2018 — Alaska!

I wrote last weeks's post while I was waiting in the airport to board the plane for Denver and our RUF winter staff training. The first leg of the trip was to Atlanta. That flight was delayed because the co-pilot's father was killed in an accident just before the plane landed in Bethlehem. Delta flew… Continue reading December 9, 2018 — Staff Training
