God must have realized someone would steal his catch
phrase sooner or later, I figure. What were those
Verizon marketing people thinking when they decided on
"Can you hear me now?" as their slogan. They're just
glad God slap them with any lawsuits. Otherwise it's
obviously copyright infringement. Oh well. I guess
He'll just deal with them later.

over again . . . quickly.
How you got involved with Village: A long, painful six-year immersion, finally sweetening.

A few of my favorite things: Staying connected with Jesus. Learning to love my wife and be a covering over her. Enjoying my godly offspring, Max, Luke, and Abby. Life. Biking. Adventure. Giving orders to stubborn people. Capturing moments on pixels. Redoing space. Remaining frustrated at new techno-gadgets. Carbo Pro and Electrolytes (hey, where'd my mix go?). Pushing back on most staff ideas . . . especially Lori's (BFF!) Yogurt. Fruit. Pop/soda, depending on what side of the lake you're from. Softly lit, calm, quiet places. Money enough for bills. And yes, vintage motorbikes.
Final Word: Learn to relish the crisis . . . for it is not with us much longer . . .
Marital Status: I've been married to Keith almost 20 years now. Funny how you think you know someone when you decide to marry them, but now, after 20 years, it seems we were comparative strangers. We've got a 14-year-old boy [Jesse] and a 10-year-old girl [Anna] that we like a lot.
Education: A lot of years at various universities
[I think around 9 or 10 years], but trained
to do what I love outside the university setting.
Hmmm...
How did you get involved with the Village: My family lives in a community house with
Pastor Eric's family [Eric, Sue and their
daughter-Ashton, 7- and son-Elliott, 3] and
our friend Cheryl. This is the infamous Seneca
House. We've been living there for 10 years
and originally the Vespers service met at our
house before we actually planted the Village.

Duties 1. People meet with me to talk about their lives and get a sense of how their experiences in life have affected the choices they make and the lies they believe. I get to see in this process the amazing transformative work of Jesus as he brings people into life and truth and frees them to be who they were created to be.
2. I manage the slideshow at Vespers, using Village art and photography with random fonts [please no Arial or Times New Roman...] to give visual support to the Vespers experience. And try to remember to record the service...
3. Whenever the Village is trying to get out some kind of publication, I jump in and try to motivate our incredibly talented graphic artists to actually create something we can use. Then, if I can't accomplish that, I put something together myself with consulting support from Pastor Eric.
4. Random computer maintenance.
5. Teaching "Village 101: Living Out Theology" on the 4th Wednesdays at the Seneca House.
Lori Moore Duties: seed planter, working with African refugees, starting a youth group program, managing the Village cafe, coming up with ideas only to have Eric and Rod reject 90% of them, bridge gaps between the Lost and the Found, and take time to stretch and grow...
