Want to serve in Children and Youth Ministries? Move to Portland! [Job Posting]

September 24, 2012 by UMJeremy Leave a Comment

I don’t plan on using my blog as an advertisement, but it strikes me that any members of our community might also be interested in ministry. So I’ll self justify this just this one time. 🙂 In short, we have a soon-to-be-open position at my ministry context. Here’s the job announcement release and a call […]

Social Media Milestone

December 8, 2011 by UMJeremy 1 Comment

1,000 followers on Twitter really means nothing in the real world but it’s nothing to shake a stick at either if you are trying to show to people that you are working hard at this church and social media thing. Some info: No followback programs or lists or fake follower ala Newt Gingrich. If you […]

The Best Compliment is Shameless Plagiarism

September 9, 2011 by UMJeremy 3 Comments

A few weeks back I was with some United Methodist colleagues and their friends. I was sitting outside enjoying the evening breeze when a man and woman stopped by and the woman pointed to me and said “yeah, that’s him.” Uh oh. Were these people from the IRD? Were the bishops mad? Had Mark Driscoll […]

Coffeehouse Bible Smackdown

March 15, 2011 by UMJeremy 10 Comments

I have a new weekly ritual. My spouse is a yoga instructor and she has a new evening class. It happens to be an evening when I don’t normally have programming or even *gasp* youth sports to attend. So I go to a coffeeshop around the corner and read/study/write for an hour. I thought it […]

Apologies to the RSS readers

September 17, 2010 by UMJeremy Leave a Comment

My blog has moved services (from Blogger to WordPress) and thus the last 10 posts probably migrated with them. I apologize for flooding your feeds, but luckily skipping them all is pretty easy. There’s probably some cat videos that are more deserving of your time. And welcome to the new website!

Poll: Favorite Stoles for Clergy

May 11, 2010 by UMJeremy 13 Comments

Handmade stole from Bolivia(Taken with my iPhone) In 2006, I was given a really mean present by my former pastor: a beautiful handmade stole from Bolivia (pictured to the right).  Why was that a mean gift?  Clergy in the United Methodist Church are not allowed to wear stoles until they are fully ordained…and I will not […]

Olive Morgan Caversham, Reading, Berkshire,  England, United Kingdom :edit: Richard Hall notes that she was profiled back in 2006. Great read! […]

April 19th Remembered

April 19, 2010 by UMJeremy Leave a Comment

The fence memorial, with what I believeis First UMC downtown in the background Do you remember when you heard JFK was assassinated?  Do you remember where you were when Roosevelt died? Do you remember when Reagan was shot? People whose generations are older than my own have vivid memories of the above dates and times […]

I know, I know…April Fools day is a perfect day to launch a new blog…sigh.  I know practically no one will take this seriously. But it’s time.  I’ve been working on it for a few months and I’m too excited to wait. Here’s a screenshot of what you’ll find: New Website homepage It’s not too […]

March Connection Drive

March 19, 2010 by UMJeremy 1 Comment

Wow, almost a year since I last shamelessly plugged for subscriptions.   HX has gotten a lot of traffic in the past few days…6,000 visits (new and repeat) since March 8th. So where are people coming from? From Google Analytics, 90% of the traffic is from the USA with other primarily English-speaking countries taking the […]
