Angela Branneman, has begun serving as the Greeting Team Coordinator at the Vineyard, and Kim Yaeger has become the Vineyard Kids’ Coordinator. Please join with me in welcoming them into these [...]

Last week is a bit of a blur…

Monday: Get up at 5 am…Fly to New Orleans…Discover Cafe Du Monde
Tuesday & Wednesday:  Walk around New Orleans…fly back to Syracuse…get to bed at 2:30 am
Thursday: Up at 7:30 am for my one day in the office…get to bed [...]

wow.  I am exhausted.  I am excited.  I’m a little lost for words. Me as well as 9 others from the Ithaca Vineyard just completed going through Transformation Weekend (tw) at the Vineyard of Greater Boston.  We came here thinking that we might want to bring something like this to Ithaca…we left sure that we [...]

Despite JetBlue making it interesting on both ends of the trip, Liz & I had a really relaxing time in New Orleans.
We spent most of our time waling around the French Quarter, trying to figure out places where Liz could get a gluten-free meal (not the easiest city to try & avoid wheat in), and [...]

While Liz & I were in New Orleans, my parents were in Ithaca taking care of the kids.  My dad says he is dring the kids to school & hears that teh village of Lansing is holding a public hearing to consider changing the zoning concerning churches meeting in high-traffic commercial zones.  So a quick [...]

So it’s Monday morning @ 5:45 & we are still @ JFK…but we’ll be on the plane in about 1 hour & in New Orleans by around 10 am…so by the time it is all said & done, we only lost about 12 hours in the Big Easy.  And hey, we would have slept most [...]

But they were very nice when they told us it stinks that they are dumping us in NYC again.
They were nice when they told us [...]

So Liz & I are on our way for 3 days of relaxing in New Orleans…that screeching noise it Jet Blue slamming the brakes on our plans.  “Hey, you are going to miss your connecting flight by 10 minutes…do you mind staying in New York over night & then we’ll get you there some time [...]

If you are looking for something to do this weekend, I’ve got 2 suggestions…we are hosting our first movie night of the summer at the church office.  (did I mention the church office has central air?) Ratatouille will start @ 7:00 pm.
The Wilsons won’t be there however because Erin is making her acting debut this [...]

On Sunday morning we’ll be talking about the 4th commandment…honoring the sabbath.  And then afterwards, Liz & I are hoping on a plane to New Orleans for an extended, 3-day sabbath.  We are taking one computer so that we can video chat with the kids each day while we are gone, but there’ll be no [...]
