Blessings OCC Family, What a time we shared together on Pentecost Sunday. It was a beautiful reminder of God’s presence and power. The Holy Spirit moved among us in a way that was different from our usual flow in worship. Moments like these remind us how good it is to see God do something new…

Blessings to You OCC Family, Though I’ve been away this week with my NAIITS doctoral Indigenous learning community in Canada, I’m still with you in heart and spirit. I’m grateful for technology that allows me to remain connected, even while away physically. I’ve heard such wonderful things about Sunday, and I’m thankful for the Word…

Grace and peace to you, I’ve been thinking. (like usual )  As we move into another season in the life of our church, there is something I want to ask you: What do you hope to see in this next season at Orchard Covenant Church? Did you know our plans are held by God’s possibilities. Vision flows through…

Beloved Children of God, There is something powerful about a Word from God, spoken in one season, and still speaking in the next. That Word is meant to journey with us. It matures as we do. On Sunday, we heard Peter say, “And I remembered the word of the Lord.” That past reflective remembering helped Peter stay…

This past Sunday, we spent time with the story of Tabitha in Acts 9:36 – 43. Tabitha’s story is a reminder that what looks over doesn’t have to be the end. When Peter prayed and said, “Tabitha, get up,” something mighty happened, she did. Life returned. Hope moved through the room. Her comeback became a testimony, not just…

Hello People of God, This past Sunday, we reflected on the story from John 21 where the disciples, worn down from a night of empty nets, hear one sentence from Jesus: “Cast your net on the other side.” It wasn’t a long speech or a complex plan. It was one word spoken into familiar waters that opened the way…

Hello Family, This week, I had a quick moment. The kind that slips in quietly and tries to shake your confidence. I’ve been working on something with care, something I’ve seen grow slowly, prayerfully, and steadily. Then one small comment landed the wrong way, and just like that, doubt tried to take up space. It…

My Beloved Church Family, Wasn’t the trumpet player lovely this past Sunday? There’s something about a single note held just long enough that reminds us that resurrection doesn’t always arrive with a spotlight. Sometimes it slips in quietly, like morning light through the blinds. As I shared this on Easter Sunday, resurrection didn’t begin with…

My Beloved Church Family, Can I tell you something: You don’t have to feel “finished” to be faithful. You don’t have to feel fearless to be used by God. You just have to keep walking. You only need to keep going. We’re in that stretch of our holy week story where everything isn’t clear yet….
