This year Light of Christ will be sending the money gathered in the Good Friday Gift to the persecuted church in Syria and Iraq.

Areas of Aleppo that are home to around 400,000 Christians have been besieged and surrounded by the rebels for months. Many Christians have become malnourished owing to shortages and skyrocketing prices of food and other essentials. Access to water,......

The Light of Christ Vestry is pleased to welcome David Seidl as its newest member. The vestry voted in March to increase its size by one person, bringing the total number of seats on the vestry to seven, plus a clerk. This move ensures we will continue to have a quorum even when some members are travelling. Dave was nominated to serve at that same meeting and has already attended our April and May Vestry meetings. Dave will be considered a member of the 2016 Vestry class and will serve a 3......

Holy Week is approaching and this year the Olsen house will be HQ for food during the week. This is a way for us to provide for the hardworking tech people, musicians, readers, clergy, and coordinators who put so many hours into making Holy Week happen.

What if I told you that there are things that you can do that would improve both your individual and marital health? What if they were so easy that they did not involve studying, reading, individual or couples therapy, pastoral counseling or even a lot of contemplation? If you are like most people, you probably think that what I am about to say is too good to be true. Unfortunately, if you are like most couples, you overlook these simple steps that can set the stage for a healthier marriage and make......

Picture yourself having an intimate, satisfying conversation with your spouse.  What are you talking about and how do you feel while you are imagining the conversation? Now, picture yourself talking to your spouse about your finances.  Did you get the same warm glow?  Or do you find that like many couples your most hopeless and frustrating conversations are about money?  Younger’s 2012 study and other similar studies on sources of marital conflict, reveals that money is the topic most likely to lead to a couple’s most severe and frequent arguments.  It is......

This morning I was reading the end of Mark 6, the story of when Jesus walks on the water.  He’s on land by himself, praying.  He sees the disciples struggling in the wind and waves.  He steps out on the water, fully intending to walk right by them.  Yet when they cried out in fear, He comes to their boat to comfort them.  “Take heart; it is I.  Do not be afraid.”  He gets in the boat, and the wind ceases.  He accompanies them the rest of the way to shore. I......

My father heart cried when I saw the picture of little Aylan Kurdi washed up on the shores of Turkey. I wondered why it was that his and his father’s cry for a better life was not heard when he was still alive? Why is it the case that an innocent’s death is the eloquence we need, in order for our own hearts finally to respond with care? Why did we not realize before it was too late? What else are we not realizing about the direness of our human condition? As......
