It seems like everywhere I turn lately it is obvious that God is on the move and it is SO exciting to see. One of the places I witnessed him this past week was at Lutheran Campus Ministries (LCM) of WNY (also known as Organic Campus). First Trinity had the opportunity to partner with this… Continue reading God on the Move

I’ll Love You Forever!
I was just wandering through Dollar Tree trying to find the something I needed when I heard the conversation. They were just two twenty-somethings co-workers trying to pass time as they restocked the shelves. "Oh did I tell you..." one asks the other as if she's simply going to state some random fact about her… Continue reading I’ll Love You Forever!
Sticky Faith
A while ago I started reading the book Sticky Faith. I've picked it up again now that we're through the busy holiday season and continue to love what I read. This book is based on the results of a 4-year longitudinal study (which, for those of you who may not be as passionate about psychology,… Continue reading Sticky Faith
The Presence of God Around Us
This past weekend was a lot of fun for me in ministry... a little crazy... but a lot of fun.

As a Director for Young Adult Ministry, one of the most common things I hear about or get asked about is what we're doing to "keep kids from leaving the church after high school."

College Road Trip
I'm not exactly sure where the idea came from but I recently decided to visit as many of First Trinity's college freshmen as possible. I've met up with a few of the students studying in the Buffalo area, but what about the ones that went away to school? So, two weeks ago, I fueled up… Continue reading College Road Trip
CCA and Williamsville South
After a week off, I was back prayer-running yesterday morning. I think I'm about halfway through the schools, though it's hard to tell since some of them are close enough to double up... like I did yesterday with Central Christian Academy and Williamsville South High. Below are some of the things I prayed for/experienced while… Continue reading CCA and Williamsville South
More prayer than running, but a prayer run none the less…
I received the following post from a high school parent on Facebook: Bekah I think that Williamsville North needs a prayer run Somewhat "excited" (not the right word) that I had a clear answer of where my next prayer run should take place, I replied asking her to let me know if she had specific… Continue reading More prayer than running, but a prayer run none the less…
