		<title>August 2010 Lamplighter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the Pastor&#8217;s Desk I recently read an article put out by the Alban Institute. It was part of an article written by Lutheran pastor, Rick Barger.

		<title>April Lamplighter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Lamplighter April  2010 From the Pastor&#8217;s Desk Change; change; more change. As much as we humans fight change, it is a constant part of our lives.

		<title>February Lamplighter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the Pastor&#8217;s Desk I’m convinced that many of us in small churches today wear ourselves out trying to do too much that really cannot be considered as ministry.

		<description><![CDATA[The Lamplighter AugustÂ  2009 From the Pastor&#8217;s Desk I seldom read the comics section of the Sunday paper though there was a time when it was one of my favorite parts.
