Worship is not the only thing that adds flavor to congregational life. We are nourished by times of fellowship and times of service. As we approach the season of Lent again, I’ll be sharing more recipes for ministry. If you read my newsletter, you might have caught on to the fact that I have hadContinue reading “Recipe for a Pandemic Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt”

Cooking Freezer Meals Before the Baby Arrives
Though it feels incredibly hard to believe, our little bundle of joy is due in a mere five weeks. I’m ready for her to get here already. This last month of pregnancy is no joke and I’m ready to be done. However, there are still things to do to prepare and she’s still got aContinue reading “Cooking Freezer Meals Before the Baby Arrives”
Cooking with Door-to-Door Organics
For months now, I’ve been clicking and poking around the internet in search of some form of Community Supported Agriculture that might carry us through our one and only winter in Kansas.

I preached a sermon in there too, and then the movers arrived. We had the worst possibleContinue reading “Cooking for the Family”
Recipe for the Worrying Church
Sometimes it is the Lectionary that sparks an idea or sometimes it is a story that you have held close over these many years. This recipe is a little bit of both. On Sunday, we will hear the story of Martha who is very worried and distracted. She’s rushing about and keeping busy. She’s doingContinue reading “Recipe for the Worrying Church”
The Stewardship of Eating
I have met people – ok, just one person comes to mind – who don’t like to eat. I am not one of those people. Food is to be savor end and enjoyed. It inspires conversation and gives space at the table for connection. I don’t understand what is not to be enjoyed any betterContinue reading “The Stewardship of Eating”
