Membership is Killing the Church

June 21, 2019June 21, 2019

“Do I need to be a member to receive communion?” Susan asked me. She is someone who attends worship frequently at St. Mark, but is not a member. “Well, that depends on the Church,” I answered, “but here at St. Mark, you are definitely welcome to receive communion if you …

What Matters Most?

March 11, 2019March 11, 2019

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21 Where is your heart? Or as I like to ask this question, what matters most? There’s an ancient Zen saying that “the most important thing is remembering the most important thing.” Jesus seems to want us to …

What’s in your garden?

February 5, 2018July 16, 2017

If your life is a garden, what’s growing in it? Imagine your life as a garden. What does it look like? What special care does it need? What do you love about it? What do you feel like is missing? What do you do to care for it? What are …
