So that means it’s data dump time. First off, let me apologize for getting that song stuck in your head. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you should be thankful. (Yeah, it’s been that kind of week.) The Haunt…on hiatus. The biggest news of the week is that our service at the [...]

Two quick things… First off, I wanted to let you know that this month’s enewsletter concerning our upcoming move to/church plant in Dublin is online. You can view it here.  (and if you have not subscribed, you can do that here). Speaking of subscribing, somewhere along the way the subscription links to this blog got [...]

I am an introvert. One of the things that means is I do not like the telephone. Caller ID, with the ability to screen calls was the greatest invention since the wheel (not that I’ve ever screened your call). More than answering the phone, I don’t like making phone calls. Much of that goes to [...]

our first informational meeting will be Sunday, January 29 @ noon. reserve a spot below.   About two years ago, I had a very strong sense that our leadership here at the Vineyard needed to be praying about what the Father was calling our church to in the area of missions & church planting. I had just [...]

This morning it hit me…6 months from today, Liz, Méabh & I step on a plane (Méabh will actually be carried on most likely), and get off the plane  the next day in Dublin. The girls will have another month in the states to go to camp, see friends/family, etc, before heading over to join us. [...]

[...]

When we first started the Ithaca Vineyard, I went to a number of church planter training and heard over and over again about how many people you would need to talk to if you were going to plant a church. My conversation with God, went something like this…”If you really want me to plant a [...]

This morning Liz & I were going to have a weekly planning meeting at 10 am. We got started a bit late, and when I got into my calendar @ 10:11 am, the first thing I noticed was that I had an orthodontist’s appointment at 10 am. (And I live 20 minutes away). It is [...]

Earlier this week I wrote a brief update on the Ithaca Vineyard’s search for a new lead pastor, and another on how things were progressing with our move to Ireland. I thought I’d end the week with an update of the various other things we’ve got going on…or at least as much as I can remember. [...]

Yesterday I gave an update on the current pastoral search at the Ithaca Vineyard. Today I thought I’d write about how everything with Project:Move to Dublin is going. This part of our lives fells pretty big at this point has several aspects to it, so I figured the easiest thing to do was address each [...]
