We have been rescued, rerouted, redeemed, saved. And that’s amazingly good news! BUT, it still begs one question: “How do I respond?”
“Rerouting…” Week 8: Bridge Restored
Today we arrive at the startling, and yet overwhelming discovery of what God has done about the situation we find ourselves in. And it changed everything.
“Rerouting…” Week 7: Icy Roads
This week, the bad news gets a little worse, or at least a little more personal. The line between good and evil isn’t just “out there,” or a mythical abstraction. It is real. And the line between good and evil…cuts pretty close to home.
“Rerouting…” Week 6: Bridge Out
So God’s creation is incredible! And humanity is lifted to such an exalted position. So what happened? Why is everything so obviously messed up?
“Rerouting…” Week 5: Road Work Ahead
Today we dive into THE STORY! And so perhaps unsurprisingly, we begin with the book of Genesis.

“Rerouting…” Week 3: Fog Area
If you’re at Mass today, then you are probably at least somewhat on board with what is going on. And yet, that doesn’t spare us challenges either. We can find ourselves in a sort of “fog.” And recognizing that, and then navigating that isn’t always easy.

“Rerouting…” Week 1: Where are we going?
Today we begin a parish journey we are calling “Rerouting…”! How many of us have felt lost in Mass and even in life? How do we get back on track? How do we discover God and His Church, and the purpose for which he created us?

We don’t just tell stories because they’re fun to tell. We tell them because they reflect us, reveal us to ourselves. The journey of the Magi is more important to us than we might realize.
