I love the rotating themes of the liturgical year. I love the predictable rhythm of when we will be the busiest and when we will have time to look at the big picture.

Summer is upon us, and I hope this change of season brings a sense of relief.

Greetings from the mountains of Western Maryland, where I’m attending the week-long CREDO Conference, a program of the Episcopal Church focused on clergy wellness and spiritual renewal.

As I reflect on my spiritual journey, the blowing wind of the Holy Spirit has always been active in my calling.

This Sunday is the feast of Pentecost, when we are all encouraged to wear something red as we celebrate the arrival of the Holy Spirit.

The party continues – the Easter party, that is!

Joyful noises enter our lives in myriad ways. We may find joy in the sound of a cooing infant or the first notes of a Mozart horn concerto.

We are busy preparing for one of the most fun and exciting weeks of the year: Vacation Bible School! This year’s theme, Snowball Mountain Challenge, is based on Philippians 4:13.
