Grace and peace to you!

How’s your spirit these days? Do you sense that God is near? In the turmoil of pandemic, where our usual ways of doing things, including worship, are disrupted, how is your spiritual health?

These were some of the thoughts that I brought with me as I hiked into the canyons of five National Parks this summer. I sought refreshment and solace for my body, mind, and spirit along some amazing trails. With notebook in hand, I reflected on the experience and life with God. I also pondered how Christ emptied himself, letting go, to connect with others and the life God desired him to live.

From my hikes, I have put together a five-week devotional series called, Canyon: A Kenotic Search for God. St. James Lutheran is providing free subscriptions to this content to anyone in our community who would like to use this daily electronic devotional. Sign up below and starting tomorrow morning, you will receive daily inspiration in your email inbox in time for your morning coffee.




If you would like more information about the series before you sign-up (click here). Be sure, however, when you are ready to sign-up to use the special “St. James Lutheran” link below. That way, the devotional will come at no cost to you. This is just one more way that our congregation is nurturing spiritual health.


I pray that my huffing and puffing along many miles this summer, results in meaningful insights that will strengthen and encourage you in your faith.

In Christ’s Light,

Pastor Walt
