Spiritual and somatic care during life transitions
by the Rev. Becca Ehrlich Life transitions and change are inevitable. Read that sentence again. As you read that sentence, notice what is happening in your body. Are there any body sensations you become aware of: tension, lightness, heaviness, experiences of heat or...
The uncertainty of in-between time
by the Rev. Becca Ehrlich When I was an intern at a congregation, I took part in an annual tradition called Confirmation Camp. For one week in the summer, the local Lutheran conference would take over half of a Christian camp in the Adirondack Mountains. The students...
Faith Reflections: What it means to be worthy
by the Rev. Dr. Ralen M. Robinson Not every voice deserves a seat at our table. So what do we do with the voices that create a cacophony of doubt? We must discern between feedback that forms us and voices that leave us empty. Not everyone deserves space in our spirit...
Running without my glasses
by Elyssa Salinas-Lazarski I’ve always hated running: the sweating, the backaches, the lungs-on-fire feeling. Every quarter in high school, we had to run the mile and I always dreaded it. All the cross-country kids would be done so quickly while the rest of us trudged...
Faith reflections: We are beloved
by the Rev. Emily Heitzman It is really hard to be a preteen or teenager today. I unfortunately know this because as a pastor who works with youth, I have seen this firsthand. I’m not saying that it wasn’t difficult to be that age. I received my fair share of...

Discovering your passion
by Lee Ann Pomrenke We know when we have it, and we know when we don’t. And we know it’s not something we can muster up when it just isn’t there. During the cold, long nights of winter, after the excitement of Christmas and Epiphany has passed, our lack of passion can...
Strong in Faith, Courageous in Love: Practicing Engagement, Accompaniment and Mentorship in our World
by Nola Smith It all started when I read an article in the April 2025 Bold Connections e-newsletter from Women of the ELCA regarding a trip to Arusha and Meru, Tanzania, through their Global Education Travel program. In my retirement from nursing, I was looking...
May we use our voices
by Joy McDonald Coltvet You shall not be intimidated by anyone, for the judgment is God's. Any case that is too hard for you, bring to me, and I will hear it. (Deuteronomy 1:17b) In the animated film A Bug’s Life, a huge colony of ants are used and abused by a few...
