    Today we dedicate a child to God. What does that mean for his parents and the community of faith in which he will grow?

    This morning, for the second time in three weeks, we welcome into the community of faith a new child, Lars Hickey. Two weeks ago it was through infant baptism, today through dedication. It’s not my intent this morning to debate the issues of infant baptism vs believer baptism. Rather, let me ...read more

    Man’s view of the church is often very different from the one Jesus demonstrated and Paul described.

    I can stand anywhere in my back yard and see my church. It sits rather majestically at the apex of our little town. Its stained glass windows chronicle its founders.
