What does glitter have to do with God?

What does glitter have to do with God?

This weekend is special. You might just discover what glitter has to do with God.

I’m so excited for you to experience the unique gifts of the South Elkhorn youth. The online worship service is led by youth sharing their music, song, prayer, short reflections, a children’s moment, communion, and more. You can tune in on Facebook at 10:30AM on Sunday, or anytime this weekend here.

Their joy, hope, and creativity lifted and elevated my spirit. I suspect it will do the same for you. 

And perhaps, like glitter you thought you cleaned up, you’ll keep finding the spiritual sparkle and shimmer is still with you, and you can’t help but spread it to others.

See you (digitally) Sunday,

PS – I’m also really excited about the inspiring opportunities that are coming up.

  • There is a Pentecost Parade in the works for Sunday, May 31st. More information coming soon.
  • You can help bring appreciation, care, and joy to folks on the frontlines with an Outreach “meals for first responders” initiative here.

PS – I hope to see you this Sunday. You are invited for communion at 11:30 AM. (Follow the directions here). And if you’d like to join a Sunday School by zoom, let me know. I’d be happy to connect you to one of the different groups meeting weekly for conversation and holy connection–one is doing “lectio divina“, another is studying and discussing the scripture passage for the week.

Worship each week with a digital liturgy: pause, pray, sing, reflect, and reconnect.
Digital liturgy is posted each weekend to South Elkhorn’s website and premiers on South Elkhorn’s Facebook page at 10:30AM on Sunday.

Unfair

It seems everyone wants to be more authentic. Jesus points to a challenging counter-intuitive path with a surprising detour through denial.

Living in Denial

Holy ground hurts. Sandals don’t stay on when you sprint. I didn’t expect actual flames.

Excarnation

You don't just have a body. You are a body. And bodies matter to God. So much so that God "became flesh" in Christ and lived among us (the "incarnation"). So much so that God raised Christ's body. So much so that when Christ was raised and appeared to the disciples and to Thomas he showed them his scarred body--his hands and his side. Bodies matter to God. And in Christ God embraces and relates to who we are [...]

A Blessing You Can’t Turn Back

My heart soared seeing so many faces yesterday. It was Maundy Thursday, and over 40 screens (filled with 70-100 people) gathered via zoom to remember Jesus' last supper, share in communion from our many different rooms and tables, and receive a blessing. If you weren't able to join, I want to share that blessing with you (at the very bottom of this email). I pray these words bless your soul as they have mine. See you (digitally) [...]

What you might be feeling…

I think it's grief. At least that's what I've noticed about myself. I'm grieving. It doesn't feel like the grief I expect when a loved one dies. But it's grief, I'm growing more sure of it every day. I've seen some powerful acknowledgment of this grief. Recently I read a beautiful one by a South Elkhorn Church and choir member and professor at Transylvania University, Jeremy Paden. Maybe you've noticed it, too, even if you have [...]
