musings and news from church ministry on Long Island - the edge of New York City.
I’ve had a lot of conversations in the last couple weeks about how Christians can live with a sharp disconnect between what they believe and how they act. Inconsistency, hypocrisy, lack of character – we have lots of different labels for something that we both hate in others and, when we’re brutally honest, see in ourselves. [...]
Our youth group kids are hilarious – a couple weeks ago we had (for Columbus day) a Video Scavenger Hunt around Huntington Village. It seemed like an appropriate way of honoring a famous explorer. I’m really thankful to the leaders, especially EmLam who made it all happen – but enjoy these – our kids are [...]
Yeah our Friday Nights are always good times.
Jennie and crew did it again – we have some of the funnies kids and youth leaders that I know, and this time they put together a spoof on House M.D. – enjoy!
Check out this picture of one of my sister in law — whenever I see it I feel inspired to do something awesome. Did anyone else notice the facebook news feed today? January has others feeling inspired too. Everyone was squawking about their new year’s resolutions, everything from reading through the Bible in a year [...]

I have to be awake in a couple hours…the problem is I’m awake now. I have a lot running through my head – everything from my lesson for small group tomorrow night to what I should get my nephew for Christmas…oy vey. Speaking of Small Group – let me give you a sneak peak of [...]
At the start of our very busy weekend, we celebrated our graduating class from Youth Group. I always love our senior banquets because they are reminders of how our students develop and grow in their lives and in their faith. Perhaps more importantly senior banquets are a reminder of how much our church cares for [...]
I’ve been spending a lot of time in the past couple weeks reading and thinking about the Psalms. I love how firmly the Psalmists speaks about the power and strength of God despite his own doubt and struggle.— I love watching the this light come on for students and adults who are looking for some [...]
Tonight at youth group we’re talking about fear. I found some good thoughts in Ed Welch’s book, Running Scared. Fear is speaking and we should listen… There is a logic – a language – to fear and anxiety, just as there is to most emotions. Anger says “You are wrong.” Embarrassment or shame says, “I [...]
