Hi Everyone- despite the lack of posting on the weblog I do have a bunch of notes and such for this week's service at the flywheel. I will try and post them once they are in some sort of order that makes sense to people who don't live inside my head...there is probably enough for me come up with something but I am still interested in collaborating or at the very least getting feedback. I am still

This is a rough draft of a poster for the worship service. I'm going to print one out at the library tonight for markup, feedback is appreciated!

Here's the notes from this Sunday (thanks Stephen). Something, I never noticed before is how all three of these images relate to the crucifixion: the coins which Judas received for betraying Jesus, the Passover Lamb, and Jesus' words from the cross, Father forgive them for they know not what they do.PRODIGIGAL SON -INTRO worshipLuke ch. 15 God’s love for a redeemed child1.

So this thing still exists. I thought maybe it would have dissapeared from neglect. It seems worth it to at least post some random thoughts about the summer so far. Someday I hope to write some sort of book about Jakob's Well but I know the tendency will be for me to fill it with the less then amazing details of my life rather then to go to level as to how God makes amazing things happen through

I got an email today telling me this weblog is listed on Blogs4God and was reminded I might actually post something. I had an okay advent though I became overwhelmed very early on by the stress. God has shown me a lot recently that my attitude towards money and possesions needs a lot of work. I also did not persevere as a I would have liked in a disciplined spiritual life. But Grace breaks

Some (very) random notes: I have long suspected that advent calendars as a whole are being drained of their relationship to the church year. This was confirmed for me when I saw an ad for an advent calendar for pets in the New Yorker the other day.... That same dayI saw a bumper sticker I liked outside my church . From a distance it looked like you standard I heart NY, but underneath in small

Its been a long time since I last posted and we have already rolled over into a new church year with the beginning of Advent. Since I last posted we had a Halloween party in the graveyard near the high school and got to chat with some great kids. Other then that we have finished Life Together and are now looking at the Confession of St. Patrick. What an amazing treasure. You can read it for

Archbishop Oscar Romero has long been a hero of mine, not only because he died because he defended the poor and helpless of El Salvador but also because he managed to be passionate for justice while avoiding ideology. In my experience this is often difficult. Anyway I ran across this prayer and thought I would post it, mostly as a reminder to myself of the importance of humility in ministry.

Outreach My hope is that this will be a space where we can describe and reflect on what it is that we "crazy christian cohorts" (as my brother calls us) are doing. I thought I would write something about the outreach we do in Northampton on Friday night. This is often the hardest part of the week for me but very important in my growth as Christian. A week ago Sunday the gospel reading was what

Hi again-its Wednesday afternoon and soon I have to get going to Evening Prayer at my church. Her's a link to Grace Church's website gracechurchamherst.org. We've just started having Evening Prayer every night at 5:30. I make it pretty often, or try to. Last night we had our house group. We ate squash soup and discussed Life Together. by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. It was a really intense discussion

Hi everyone and welcome to Ubi Caritas-This is a weblog for the Amherst/ Northampton, MA Steiger Community a.k.a. the Conspiracy for Jesus Liberation, Jakob's Well, and/or the Christian do-gooders. We are a group of Christians from many backgrounds who work to confess Christ through acts and words of love. A good way to explain what we do is to allow it to unfold in a format such as this.
