Our Hope is in God

May 1, 2018 By Rev. Donn Brammer Leave a Comment

By Reverend Donn : Most of us are familiar with the passage from Isaiah (40:31): “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be wary, they shall walk and not faint.” It is a passage filled with hope, and… Read More »

By Rev. Donn Brammer If you go to the National Cathedral in Washington DC you will notice that there are flags inside the cathedral from each state, that represent significant people from those states. When I was last there I remember 3 flags from Georgia. One was for Woodrow Wilson; you might remember he was… Read More »

Our Lenten Journey

March 1, 2018 By Rev. Donn Brammer Leave a Comment

By Rev. Donn Brammer As we continue on our Lenten journey we are reminded that this is a season of reflection of discipleship and how it applies in our own daily living; a season reminding us that the gift of repentance is that by confessing and repenting of our sin we not only unburden ourselves… Read More »

Wanna Make God Laugh?

January 31, 2018 By Rev. Donn Brammer Leave a Comment

By. Reverend Donn Brammer I still remember the day I ran home from school waving my ‘Weekly Reader’ all excited to tell my mom how I was going to the moon. I had just read about it in the Weekly Reader: we were going to send a person to the moon and I figured I… Read More »

Making a difference in 2018

January 1, 2018 By Rev. Donn Brammer Leave a Comment

 By Rev. Donn Brammer I know not all of us follow sports but I want to lift up a few sports stories. This past Tues. Dec. 26, as his team was winning their bowl game 30-14 against West Virginia, the University of Utah quarterback, Troy Williams, untied his shoe. Now you might think, what’s the… Read More »

It’s not Good..It’s the Best!

October 30, 2017 By Rev. Donn Brammer Leave a Comment

One of the children’s books we used to read to the kids was Robert Munsch’s book, “Something Good.” The book is about a dad who takes his kids Tyya, Andrew, and Julie grocery shopping. The kids are typical kids wanting to buy candy, cookies, ice cream, etc, in other words, ‘something good’ and dad is… Read More »

This Little Light Of Mine

October 3, 2017 By Rev. Donn Brammer Leave a Comment

There’s an often told Jewish tale about a rabbi asking his students how they can tell a new day has dawned upon the earth. One student said, “Well, you can tell it is a new day when there is enough light to see the difference between an apple tree and a pear tree.” It was… Read More »

Sharing, Blessings and Balance

August 31, 2017 By Rev. Donn Brammer Leave a Comment

My article this month is in two parts. By now you have seen for yourselves the devastation brought about by Hurricane Harvey. As you offer your prayers, you may also decide to give an over and above monetary donation to help with the relief efforts. I encourage you to do so by making out your… Read More »

If You’re Not Concerned, You’re Not Paying Attention

July 28, 2017 By Rev. Donn Brammer 1 Comment

For your summer reading I am going to share a few quotes and remind you of a children’s story. Jesus said, “You will know the truth and the truth will make you free.” (John 8:32). I think as Christians we would agree that Jesus spoke the truth and came to set us free. Truth is… Read More »

Is the struggle hopeless?

July 1, 2017 By Rev. Donn Brammer Leave a Comment

Most of us have read “To Kill A Mockingbird.” If you’ve read the book then you might recall when Scout talks to her father about the case. She asks him if ‘we’ are going to win and he tells her no. She then asks, “Then why…” and he says something like, “Just because we’re going… Read More »
