Belonging

Living in Love to Feel and Spread God’s Joy

May 9, 2021 by ReverendAmanda

As a parent now, I have come to understand the definition of love, joy, and motherhood very differently than I used to, which means when I think of celebrating Mother’s Day, I understand it as honoring more than just the act of having given birth. Mother’s Day is about the love of mothers and that … [Read more…]

Come and Follow Me: Hear the Call of Christ in Your Lives

January 26, 2020 by ReverendAmanda

I read a lot. I have read all different types of books, each at different parts of my life and for different reasons. Some I read to increase my knowledge. Others I read to relax my brain, and still others I read to help process emotions. Then I also read to know what is going … [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…]

Welcoming and Inviting Communication

November 24, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

We communicate a whole lot before we even open our mouths to speak. If we are aware and invested in the relationships around us sometimes words are not even needed to communicate needs. Children do this all the time as they are developing their communication skills. I myself have had to rely on these other … [Read more…]

Sharing God’s Grace by Loving God’s People

October 13, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

If you want to encounter God, the essence of what is Holy, you don’t have to go searching in the depths of spiritual places. You only have to look at other people. We are constantly told in the scriptures that God is in the people that we meet, the people that we help, and the … [Read more…]

Christian Spiritual Practices: Community and Care

September 29, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

Living in community and caring for one another is another of the Christian Spiritual practices that often gets overlooked and underestimated. Community was important right from the beginning of Christianity. We know this because where Christ said, “Wherever one or two of you are gathered there I will be as well”. A Christian community is … [Read more…]

Christian Spiritual Practices: Welcome and Hospitality

September 8, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

The dictionary says, “A spiritual practice or spiritual discipline (often including spiritual exercises) is the regular or full-time performance of actions and activities undertaken for the purpose of inducing spiritual experiences and cultivating spiritual development”. Spiritual practices are more than about prayer. They are not necessarily defined by how one acts in church but rather they can be anything that gives someone a spiritual experience. … [Read more…]

All Inviting Love

September 1, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

I went to a family party many years ago with my husband’s extended family. Bill and I were only just beginning to date. We were celebrating his grandmother’s birthday that day at a restaurant. But because we had the furthest to travel to get there, we were naturally a little late. So when we entered, … [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…]
