Original liturgy and worship resources from the viewpoint of a Christian pastor serving in the Moravian tradition. Saturday, October 25, 2008. Every day we journey on this earth is a day in which we make choices: left or right, up or down, in or out, yes or no? Some choices are simple, and some are very complex, but one choice informs all the others: Who will be our God? Who will we trust to see us through this journey? Who has been with us from before the beginning, bringing us into existence? We devote...

Original liturgy and worship resources from the viewpoint of a Christian pastor serving in the Moravian tradition. Tuesday, May 6, 2008. A Prayer of Confession about Our Praying.

Concentrate on Jesus,. Weep for Jesus,. It's as...

Original liturgy and worship resources from the viewpoint of a Christian pastor serving in the Moravian tradition. Tuesday, April 7, 2009. Confession at the Cross Good Friday 2009. We know what is coming, Jesus. We wince as we glance at the scaffold, almost unable to stare at it straight on. Your Cross is in our face, and we squirm as we remember the reason for its placement. Your Cross is there only so that we may climb our way back to Love. Hear us, Jesus. Hear us and offer us your restoration. Sometim...

We love because God first loved us. We love because God first loved us. In the thick of becoming self-aware, when we have begun to sift out our talents and fine tune our interests, when we have started to catalog our abilities and unleash our uniqueness, God has provided inspiration. For every milestone we have coll...

Holy conversation informs us. Christ’s grace reforms us. Love is what encourages us here. A compassionate tale stirs us. A need made known prompts us.
