2013 Travel Study Seminar to the Philippines Anyone?

Last updated on: June 12, 2012 at 10:02 am By Bruce Reyes-Chow

As many of you know, I have been travelling to the Philippines for the past few years as part of my connection with Presbtyerian Church (USA) and our partners in the Philippines, The United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP). As a 3rd Generation Filipino American, not only has this been a powerful time for me personally, but I have come to learn how much I never knew about the complexities of Philippine politics, culture and life. Recently I have been... Read more

Brian Ellison Named New Executive Director of Covenant Network of Presbyterians

Last updated on: June 11, 2012 at 10:54 am By Bruce Reyes-Chow

Scrolling through my messages this morning lead me to this very exciting announcement from Covenant Network of Presbyterians and their new Executive Director. Not only am I excited for CovNet itself, but for my friend, Brian. I’ve known Brian for quite a while mostly through very geeky Presbyterian events, but more recently through his work with MRTI, love of radio and great conversations about life and ministry. Such a great moment and such great words from Brian: I am deeply honored by... Read more

Bruce’s Friday Five v6.8

Last updated on: June 8, 2012 at 1:05 pm By Bruce Reyes-Chow

1/ONE – I grew up playing games like Dungeons and Dragons and Tobruk – yeah, I was pretty cool – so the fact that my all three of my kids enjoy The Settlers of Catan makes my geeky little heart jump for joy. I also love it when people combine passions: for instance this bit of Settlers awesomeness or this “want vs. need” Settlers masterpiece and lastly, for you Shakespearian Settlers in the house, my thespian Eldest child came up with the...

WWJP? Baseball.

Last updated on: June 7, 2012 at 7:30 pm By Bruce Reyes-Chow

[Photo by gregor_y] No offense to you football, basketball, cricket, shuffleboard, spelling bee and hockey fans, but let me tell you why baseball, the greatest sport IN THE WORLD, would be the sport of choice had Jesus had the opportunity to sign up for T-Ball as a child. While each of the above mentioned sports may carry some of these traits, I dare say no other sports weaves them together in the way the national pastime does. The Mascots // Angels, Padres...

Parenting is a Dance

Last updated on: June 7, 2012 at 8:26 am By Bruce Reyes-Chow

Unless of course you count the eye-roll inducing faux break-dancing I do every once in a while just to embarrass my children, I am not what you would call “a dancer.” I am more of a head-bobbing, groove-to-the-beat, Breakin’ wannabe kind of guy. Over the past 20 years, my wife and I have taken a few dance classes, attended a few soirées and it is always fun. We don’t go and dance enough. Not really a regret, just a fact of our life. But we do... Read more

Five Reasons to “Animate” Your Church’s Adult Education Program

Last updated on: June 6, 2012 at 9:48 am By Bruce Reyes-Chow

Tony Jones recently posted some info about a project that I am part of, the new Animate Faith Formation Series, from SparkHouse. I have already been compensated for my part in the project, so my gushing over the project is not so much about sales as it is about hoping people take advantage of this resource that I am truly proud of. From what I can tell, the folks at SparkHouse wanted to bring together seven of the greatest Christian thinkers in the universe in order to create... Read more

The Courage to Blog About Personal Struggles

Last updated on: June 5, 2012 at 12:12 pm By Bruce Reyes-Chow

[Photo By Ian Sane] A few weeks ago, there was an a slight uproar in the football world. In response to the suicide of Junior Saeu and NFL concussion controversies some ex-NFL stars began sharing that they would prefer that their kids not play football. Now blogging is nowhere near as physically damaging to ones body as football, but I do know that there are emotional risks to putting oneself out there. There are blog trolls seeking their next target, others see it as their... Read more

Apparently I am a San Francisco “Pissed off Voter” . . . Sort Of.

Last updated on: June 5, 2012 at 3:27 pm By Bruce Reyes-Chow

Now I know that some people value the idea that people can vote and people need not know how they voted, but being the transparent blogging fool that I am with just a smidge of influence in some areas, I am going to go ahead and share how I voted and what I think is important about today’s San Francisco Election. Much to my surprise I am a “Pissed Off Voter” as I align greatly with this voters guide put out... Read more
