When I think about September, I am reminded that summer is over with.  The kids are starting to get comfortable in school, parents have started new routines, and grandparents are waiting for that invitation to help out in any way.  I am also reminded about that in ministry.  The summer is usually a time where families go on vacations, where missions and ministries are put on hold, and where a lot ...  Read More

There’s joy, energy, singing at the top of our lungs, snacks shaped like moose tracks, and moments when kids catch a glimpse of God’s love in a whole new way. But after the songs fade and the decorations come down, it’s easy to wonder… how do we keep the momentum going?This year’s VBS theme, True North: Trusting Jesus in Ever...  Read More

Everyone has their go-to playlist, favorite movie night picks, and a stack (or wish list) of books they love—or at least want to love. In our house, we’ve got a wide range of tastes, but it’s fun to see where we overlap and where we each bring something different to the table. Mike is all about 90’s music—if it came out during the grunge, alt-rock, or pop-punk heyday, chances are it’s on his playl...  Read More
