This season of Advent

December 9, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Our church has Wednesday evening Vespers services during Advent. Last week when I arrived I was struck by this scene and had to take a photo.  Isn’t it pretty? Taken with my iPhone and no filters

Living in community

October 7, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

This morning we celebrated World Communion Sunday at church. The observation began back in 1933 in a Pittsburg Presbyterian church as a celebration of oneness. It was open to other denominations from the start, which is just one of the things I love about Presbyterians – the open, ecumenical practice of faith. It is now…

Easter Weekend

April 2, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

How was your Easter weekend? Ours was truly enjoyable and the weather was spectacular. David was out of town until Saturday night which means I went to bed very late Friday night – I have a hard time sleeping without him. Sweet Shiloh awakened me at about 8 a.m. to go potty. I had slept…

Holy Week – Seder Supper

March 29, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

This is Holy Week and last night our church hosted the traditional seder dinner before the Maundy Thursday communion service. I oversaw one of these dinners many years ago so I know first hand how much work goes into the preparation. It’s such a meaningful tradition, though, so I’m really happy that our church observes it. …

Ash Wednesday

February 14, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Today is Ash Wednesday. I haven’t been in church or much of anywhere else since the first of the year because I’ve been trying to avoid the flu and other nasty viruses making the rounds. Even a simple cold sets off a serious asthma attack for me and I was bound and determined to stay…

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 18

November 19, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

We were in New Orleans two Sundays and then missed last Sunday after our return because we had been out until the wee hours the night before. So it felt really good to be back today. I lost count how many hugs I received. It was great to sing with the choir again and wonderful…

Sleepless in Happyland

July 23, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

I need this sign in my kitchen: We seem to be taking that sentiment to heart around here. Friday evening was the first round of “Ada’s Got Talent”, the big annual fundraiser for Ada Homeless Services (I serve on the board of directors.). We had 43 acts that first night. The talent was incredible and…

The bread of life…

October 4, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Today is World Communion Sunday and as is our church’s custom, several ladies baked various types of bread, some representing other nations, for communion (including me).  I took this photo with my iPhone just before the choir went up to sing.  It’s hard to tell in this picture but the communion table is covered with…
