A Note-
A note to tell you that for me The Way has meant restoring  + refreshing = rejuvenating. But to also say that while I have always loved traditional church and high church, as long ago as over 20 years, I looked for what would reflect the 1st century church. I found it at The Way! And though The Holy Spirit is present in many ways & places, the naturalness of The Way seems to allow for the intimacy of the Holy Spirit to become enlarged. This is wonderful. Thank you so much for your ministry.

Maggie-  
Do I believe?  Is he really out there?  Does he care about me? How do I pray correctly?  What if I say something wrong?  Why do you hate me?  These are all questions I have had and sometimes continually have when thinking about God.

Finding My Voice-
Events that change our lives.  We all have them.  The birth of a child, a marriage, a new job, a new used shirt or pair of pants, a bowl of soup or peanut butter and jelly sandwich… were we on the receiving end of these gifts or the giver of these gifts?
I have been so very blessed in my life.  For me, one of these life changing events was finding The Way... (MORE)

Reflections on the Easter Vigil-
“Wade in the water.  Wade in the water, children.  Wade in the water.  God’s gonna trouble the water.”  With a slow tambourine beat and a bluesy undertone, these words resonated throughout the sanctuary in the minutes just before Easter Day arrived.  It was one of the last acts of The Way’s Easter Vigil—remembering our baptisms.  One by one, folks came forward to dip their hands into waters drawn from our baptistery.  It was a quiet, meditative time at the end of a long but meaningful experience of worship.  I thought about getting in line myself, but—quite frankly—my feet and I were enjoying the rest. ...
