There’s a children’s book called “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” that leads a family through woods, grass, a river, a snowstorm, and a cave on their way to find the ever elusive bear. As they come upon each obstacle, they realize that they can’t go over it, they...

“God created us on purpose for a purpose.”I don’t remember the first time I heard that said, but when Kelly started off her message last Sunday with these words I was reminded of the power that the statement holds. If you pause and think about it, these words mean two key...

  My daughter was confused this morning when we woke up to snow… And who can blame her? Yesterday was the first day of spring. I stood outside in my t-shirt (and pants, for those of you wondering) and grilled chicken on our deck. It was wonderful. We kicked the soccer ball around...

I used to walk into church and sit right in the front row. I like to sit there so that I can sing worship really loud and not hear my own singing voice over our worship team's beautiful ensemble. (Lets just say your worship pastor did not marry me for my musical giftedness!) But over the past...

  For the last year, I’ve dropped my daughter off at daycare and driven along Pawtucket Boulevard, passing the beach at Heritage State Park and the UMass Lowell Boathouse before crossing the Rourke Bridge to come into the offices at Harbor. I was always in a rush to get into the...

If you know me, you know that I LOVE singing, I LOVE people, and I LOVE Jesus. Combine all these loves and you have an excited young woman on FIRE for God who loves to sing on the worship team and bring people into the basement of her favorite mill. On May 19th, I became Ally the Intern. I am...

I saw this article on NPR this morning, and it really challenged the way I picture Jesus... What do you think? Would you want this statue out in front of Harbor? A new religious statue in the town of Davidson, N.C., is unlike anything you might see in church. The statue depicts Jesus as a...
