Acts

Walking with Passion

May 31, 2020 by ReverendAmanda

When I was around 10 years old, I would spend my afternoons after school at my Great Grandma Standish’s house. Her house was walking distance of my parent’s home and sometimes I would just walk there from the school bus stop. I remember one day vividly. I was sitting at her kitchen table that was … [Read more…]

Generating Love for a Better Life and a Better World

May 10, 2020 by ReverendAmanda

Mother’s Day is a time when we honor and remember the influence that our mothers have had on our lives. However, I fully recognize that for many people this relationship may not have been defined by love, support, nurture, and care. Traditionally these are the terms that are associated with motherhood. So this morning, I … [Read more…]

Creating a Community of Christ: Reflection and Care Can Lead to a Better World

May 3, 2020 by ReverendAmanda

Our Acts reading gets to the point of what the early church and those earliest believers were to look like. It is almost a utopian society for those of the early church. They shared all possessions, all things, they did not act in mere human ways, but always with the Spirit. This was the hope … [Read more…]

A New Life; A New Commitment

January 12, 2020 by ReverendAmanda

Now there may not be too many of us who have experienced adult baptism, or can even say that they remember their baptisms. My first baptism happened when I was 5 months old and recovering from chicken pox. I have no memory of my first baptism. My second baptism was done by the same clergy … [Read more…]

A Spirit Focus Life

June 9, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

Last week, we discussed remaining hopeful and using our life experiences for the work of God no matter how challenging they may be. However, I understand that is easier said than done. Paul and Silas make it look so easy to just pray and sing and remain hopeful amid beatings, slander, imprisonment, and possible death. … [Read more…]

Making the Most Out of Life

June 2, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

I had a close friend in seminary that was going through some challenging times in her life shortly before entering seminary. In one year, she and her husband lost everything they had in a fire, her dad died, and she lost her job. Anybody experiencing what she did would have been more than a little … [Read more…]

How to Listen for God

May 26, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

As a teenager, my favorite past time was talking on the phone with my friends. The worst punishment for me, at that age, was to ground me from the telephone. It was my connection to the outside world. It allowed me to find out what was going on in the group’s gossip, to discuss the … [Read more…]

Strength in Our Diversity

May 19, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

When I was a child, my brothers used to get together with some of our cousins to go to one of the family fields to play baseball, or to go camping, or to go help my father and uncles in the wood lot, or to go fishing. I remember that I always wanted to go … [Read more…]

Hopes or Wishes: Acts of New life

May 12, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

When I was 10 years old, all my friends were getting braces except for me. I wanted to be just like my friends. I didn’t want to stand out in any way. I remember praying to God that I would get braces like my friends. I prayed that I could be just like them. I … [Read more…]

Embracing the Universal Language of Love: The Holy Spirit Still Alive Today

May 20, 2018 by ReverendAmanda

The greatest thing that anyone can do in life is to do something kind for someone else. We have probably all experienced the healing powers of the kindness of family and strangers. This past week, I was at the grocery store picking up a few things. I thought that I really didn’t even need a … [Read more…]
