We all need rest and rest always produces life. It’s a natural law that applies to us humans as much as any other living thing. This is especially obvious during this time of year when we see dormant trees slowly waking up after a long period of “rest”. When we notice the first tulips and prairie … [Read more…]

It’s been said that the church is more of a living organism than an organization. Considering that the church is a complex mix of all kinds of people, this observation is a quite apt. However, it is also necessary for every body to have some amount of organization to keep it from becoming a random collection of cells at … [Read more…]
Easter is the number one celebration for followers of Jesus. In terms of importance it ranks higher than Christmas – a fact that is lost on most of our children, and, let’s face it, many of us adults too. We just like the cradle more than the cross. In a similar way, we typically skip over … [Read more…]
We’re excited about a few changes in leadership in the Vineyard. Some of these shifts are just a normal part of the ebb and flow in the community. Others have been worked on by the Pastoral and Lay elders for quite some time now. In either case our heart is to respond to what the … [Read more…]
