I serve as the Content and Community Manager for The Network, a role that I truly love. I have a passion for connecting people and am grateful to see how God is at work in the CRC and beyond. I'd love to answer any of your questions and help you get involved!
I love this story. I'm deeply encouraged by how you followed God's call (not easy to say the least) and how God surrounded you overseas by other ordained women. How cool!
Thank you for this! We have much to learn from each other and it's amazing what happens when we take the time to truly listen and understand.
Also, I haven't historically been a fan of puzzles, but they are growing on me. I like how, as you said, they can help us unwind and focus our minds. That's huge.
Miriam, I have been so blessed by your writing and heart for others, especially those who are vulnerable. Your voice is powerful and it is helping change wrong assumptions. Thankful for you!
Ken, you have been a voice of encouragement in this community and I pray, right now, for you to have the strength you need for the day. I know it can't be easy. Blessings to you.
Karen, I want to read this post again and again because there is so much that resonates with me. I think you hit the nail on the head with the need for less programs and more "weaving of faith-forming conversations in our daily family rhythms." This is huge. And sometimes the "how" is the hardest part. For this reason, your tangible ideas, including repeatable faith practices, ideas for community engagement, and more, are so, so great.
Michele, thank you for this. The need to first acknowledge the pain and grief before offering the hope is so important and I needed the reminder. Thanks again.

Thank you for taking the time to educate me on something I was not aware of.
You are important, and I hope all of us as the church continue to learn and make space for everyone.
