Finding Strength in the Unplanned
Good morning! It’s Brother Neville with your thought for today, Tuesday, April 2nd. Well, I apologize for being a bit late today. I’m just sort of struggling right now to get a good daily routine figured out, and anybody who knows me knows I like order.

It Takes Two
I don’t think anyone would disagree with the statement that “it takes two” to have a relationship. Take a listen to Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston in their song by that name. https://youtu.be/KCwe2WftI7Y?si=px2rvxELLc_bKXwN Further, it takes two people working together to create healthy and intimate connections. As a pastor I’ve done quite a bit of … Continue reading It Takes Two
The Race Is On (with apologies to George Jones). Thought for Today, 3/8/2024
I lay there looking at the image, mesmerized as the colors flowed across the screen. Red, blue, orange, yellow….and as I lay there the first thing that came to my mind was an image of the four-cycle stroke cycle of a gasoline motor.

Embracing the Wilderness: A Christian's Response to Illness "Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil." - Matthew 4:1 (NIV) I wasn't sure if I was feeling bad, if it was the emotion of a friend's death, or if I was just mad that the sushi bar … Continue reading “Honey, I think I’m about to pass out….”
Close by thee to stay….2/17/2024
In our Ash Wednesday service we sang the hymn 'Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days.' It was written by the English hymn writer and poet Claudia Hernaman in the 19th Century and encourages followers of Jesus to use the season of Lent for introspection, repentance, and spiritual growth. This year the first verse really spoke … Continue reading Close by thee to stay….2/17/2024
“Where’s the Fire?” – Thought for your Weekend, 2/9/2024
I have a great view of the bell-tower of our church from our back patio. I was sitting out there rather late last night staring at it, reaching several hundred feet into the night sky and topped with a cross, when a thought came to my mind.
