Crocodile Dock is almost here - are you?


Crocodile Dock is almost here!
August 17-21 is Vacation Bible School for First Lutheran Church and all our neighbors and friends are invited. I did not want to let the summer pass without asking you if you could or would be available to help lead or co-lead an activity station, be a counselor for a small group of kids, or simply be able to come and help where needed for the mornings (8:45-noon) of that week. On Friday of that week, we will be having a cook-out and inviting all the participants and their families to attend.

I know summer is a busy time, but your help is greatly needed in order to make VBS great this time around. Whatever gifts your bring to VBS, the best ones are go with the flow attitudes and a child-like desire to learn and have FUN!

We are accepting helpers from a wide age range, 7th grade to 101 and beyond (While minors being partnered with a qualified adult),so please call me or email me back and I will secure you with your preference in jobs as best as I can. Here's a sample list of jobs that need to still be filled:

DVD Bible Theater
DVD Bible Theater Support

Opening song leader (I will do this if necessary.)
Song leading support (1-2 people)

Team Counselors (We need 1-2 adults for each group of 15 kids and expect 60 kids this summer.) Approx 10-12.


This year our theme is "Fearless Kids shine God's light" - but courage is not limited to the kids this time! Thanks in advance for your help.

Selah Season

 Holy Shenanigans Podcast Episode #162 Selah Season Tara continues sane spiritual practices with an opportunity to practice, "Selah". This week's Scripture focus:  Psalm 62. Questions for Discussion: 1. What Spiritual Practices do you enjoy? 2. Are your Spiritual Practices Active or more Contemplative?  3. Do you "Selah", before you Serve? 4. Do you think pause (Selah) should come before Service? Why or why not? 5.  If you could give advice to a friend about the value of pause, what would say? 6. Where can you find a pocket for Selah/pause in your day?

St. Brigid Blessings on the Threshold

In preparation for St. Brigid’s day, I consider the blessings that are with us on the threshold.  What are the blessings, neither at the beginning or end, but in the middle.  In transitional spaces that take up most of our days? I think that the threshold can be a space of healing. An opportunity to see things in a new way. A river that takes us to new places of grace. May you feel the presence of love in your thresholds. May it flow from all our beginnings through to each end. May the space of threshold be a balm like lavender, healing our battle wounds. May we find healing in the inbetween. Healing lives on the threshold. #blessings #stbrigid #taralamontart
