Wildside Middle School Camp 2026
Twenty Quiet Minutes That Changed the WeekWildside Middle School Camp 2026 Every year, I’ve looked forward to Wildside Middle School Camp, but this year’s week at Round Lake Christian Camp in Loudonville became especially meaningful. This was my third Wildside, a Sunday-to-Friday trip with our middle school students, Joseph, our leadership team, and student leaders. […]
VBS 2026
Seeing Moses’ Life Played Out Vacation Bible School 2026 In the Book of James, we read that if you have faith, you will show it through your works. That is what happened during VBS this year.

Gospel Hymn Sing
When a Hymn Brings You Back Home For the last four years, I had the joy of helping shape something simple and yet deeply meaningful at Community Church: our Gospel Hymn Sing.

Easter Sunday 2026
When Grace Took the Stage Easter had always been my favorite day of the year, but this one felt especially meaningful. As we planned the service, I felt like a child waiting for Christmas morning.

Good Friday Communion Service
Meeting Jesus at the TableGood Friday Service Good Friday had always been one of the most meaningful services of the year for me because it gave us time to slow down and remember the death of Jesus in a personal way. Communion naturally fit that day. Even though the Last Supper happened on Thursday, it […]
Parents Night Out
A Night Out, A Little Breathing Room Parents Night Out always felt a little wild in the best possible way. I invited parents from our church and from Good News Club to drop off their kids for three hours. I told them not to worry about anything except to enjoy the break. I did not […]
Soup and Pie Social
More Than Soup and Pie For me, the Soup and Pie Social was more than a meal after a meeting. It was a chance to pause and help our church family see the bigger picture of what God had been doing among us. In the past, our congregational meetings could feel formal and mostly focused […]
