I just started reading Exiles: Living Missionally in a Post-Christian Culture. It is the first I have read of Michael Frost. I love what he says about the danger of the incarnation.
Probably the most dangerous aspect of the Christ story is the very nature of the incarnation itself. … Throughout history the church has retreated [...]

The Sacrament of “Repeat After Me”
Posted in Uncategorized on May 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Sacrament–a rite or act that may serve as a means of grace. (If the remainder of this post does nothing else…this definition may generate some discussion!)
I was raised in a baptist context could rightly be described as anti-sacrament. More time was spent talking about what baptism didn’t do (“save” us) that what it did do. [...]

Here’s a few original songs for your listening pleasure (I hope!).
Consequences of an Inneffectual United States Postal Service
-Popularly called “the long song”. It was written for a high school writing class with a friend, Dave Roche. I haven’t seen Dave since high school so if you know him…let him know about this. I’d love to [...]

I have set up a new podcast courtesy of www.mypodcast.com. It doesn’t cost any money, but there is a bit of advertising thrown into the episodes. So far I have posted a couple of sermons and a few songs on it. If you are interested, check out the sermons using the links below or go [...]

Today was a baseball day…and a beautiful day for it.
This afternoon my 4 year old son and I went to see our local Intercounty Baseball League team, the Stratford Nationals, play the first game of a double header against the Barrie Baycats. Double headers are played as two seven inning games instead of the regular [...]
Ministry Fair 2
Posted in Uncategorized on May 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This morning’s ministry fair at the church was great. The people in charge of displays put tons of work into their booths really setting the tone for what was to come. There was a lot of noise and a lot of interaction. For sure people were exposed to ministries they weren’t even existed. We’re trusting [...]

This morning our church is holding a “Ministry Fair”. Coming on the heals of our senior pastor’s sermon series on service, we are having the majority of “in house” ministries set up a booth to promote their program and their volunteer staffing needs. I got a call yesterday from someone concerned about their space. It [...]

He’s been doing this for a couple of years (he’s 5 in this video…there’s some on YouTube as a four year old and as a six year old), but no matter his age…Igor Falecki is awesome on the drums.
N.T. Wright on Democracy and Faith

I saw this on the Roxburgh Journal. Alan Roxburgh is one of the leaders in the missional church conversation and definitely worth checking out! This is actually N.T. Wright commenting on secularism vs. fundamentalism, faith and democracy. Enjoy.

The trip I went on to Guatemala was led by an amazing couple named Julio and Elsa Farfan. Julio and Elsa emigrated from Guatemala to Canada 30+ years ago. They worked factory jobs and raised their children in Stratford, ON. They have been involved in various ministries in their church and even did some ministry [...]
