Role Reversal Communion Had Me Crying

Brian Dolleman — Thu, 27 Sep 2018 18:09:08 +0000

At YOUTH last night, Pastor Andy gave a message about belonging. He talked about his love of the Muppets – particularly how they are such a collection of oddballs and misfits, but they somehow belong together. He also shared the passage from the book of Acts where Peter has a vision from God – and […]

The Difference Between Being Motivated By Power And Being Motivated By Love

Brian Dolleman — Mon, 12 Feb 2018 21:30:51 +0000

The church has never done well when it was latched onto power. The church has always done better when it was on the margins. —Dr. Joseph B. Modica I suppose it would be a colossal understatement to say there is a lot of hierarchy in church. With all the titles and positions, posturing and power-grabbing, […]

When You Sit Alone At The Table It Becomes A Desk

Brian Dolleman — Tue, 10 Oct 2017 17:49:08 +0000

I have a big table in my office. Most days, I sit alone at the big table (desk) and work on my computer. We also have monthly staff meetings in there, and when everyone takes a seat, the table is filled and the room comes alive with conversation and laughter (and occasionally some tears). The […]

Seeing What They Carry

Brian Dolleman — Thu, 30 Jun 2016 15:59:29 +0000

At church the other night, I noticed something happen during our 5pm service… a family came in late, just after the ushers had finished passing around communion. This family found seats in the back. I watched as two ushers hustled over to them with communion trays – they wanted to make sure everyone had been […]

Cops, Convicted Felons, Communion, & Church

Brian Dolleman — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 16:16:28 +0000

*picture above: Barry (left) and Don (right) at church together last night * * * Cops, convicted felons, communion, and church… these concepts might, at first glance, seem like they are worlds apart, but if we pause and think about it long enough, we’ll see how beautifully they go together. Barry […]

I Fell In Love With A Table

Brian Dolleman — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 19:50:35 +0000

This is the story of how I fell in love with a table… From growing up in the church, there are two things I remember about communion: 1) I remember it passing me by because I was too young, apparently. So I watched my parents receive. I could smell the grape juice on their breath […]

Whispering Shouts About These Videos

Brian Dolleman — Sun, 20 Jul 2014 12:00:27 +0000

So, this is different. Generally each week I share some blog posts from around the internet that I found to be worthy of a shout out… but today I won’t be sharing blog posts. Instead, only videos. And they’re rather mellow. Chill. I won’t bother giving any commentary, other than to say I found them […]
