March has come in like a lion in my part of the world, making me all the more ready for a party! There’s nothing quite like starting Lent by celebrating our sisters in ministry. This month’s ordiversary party is kicked off by RevGal Carolyn Herold, whose persistence in pursuing her call is a reminder that… Read More
11th Hour Preacher Party: T-Fig time again!
No matter how late Easter is, it always feels like T-Fig just happened not that long ago. Here we are again, traipsing up a mountain, wondering what on earth (or in heaven) is going on, and trying to decide if we’re going to be more like Peter talking about buildings, or more like James and… Read More

11th Hour Preacher Party: here comes Advent!
Ready or not, here it comes! The first Sunday of advent is upon us. Whether you are following the RCL with its apocalyptic Advent 1, the Narrarive Lectionary with the lesser-known Habakkuk who somehow manages to speak right into current events, or a series of your own making, now is the time! Bring your ideas,… Read More

Welcome to the preacher party! Here on the west coast of Scotland, it’s chilly and rainy, perfect weather for a cup of tea by the fire with fuzzy socks.
