Hey Pastor? Why do we sing and chant in church?
Singing or chanting, which is usually acapella tonal singing, in church began as a functional need. In the centuries before microphones and sound systems, worship leaders needed ways to be heard. If you’ve ever heard someone trying to yell over a crowd, you know that...

Hey Pastor? Why are we not lighting the Christ candle?
I recently had a conversation about the Paschal candle and when we light it. The name refers to the Easter and Passover season and connects us to Jesus’ visible presence on earth after the resurrection. We light it as a visible reminder of our connection to Jesus'...
Emanuel 9: Fourth Sunday after Pentecost-Sermon from June 20, 2021 – Pastor Chelsea Achterberg
In January of 2017, I too set sail across this lake. It was, fittingly, windy that day as well. There were a good bit of white caps and our boat ended up being delayed for a while until things settled down and weren’t quite so choppy. In the end, we even had to switch...
Hey, Pastor? What does God do with our prayers?

Hey Pastor? Is that what it said before?
The words we usually think of for communion come from 1st Corinthians 11:23-26. Since we really only have one source, most communion liturgies use the same words. You may have noticed I switched our usual “on the night he was betrayed” to “handed over”. 1 Corinthians...
June is LGBTQIA+ Pride Month
June is designated as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual Pride month, LGBTQIA+ for short (the plus is to include other sexual and gender identity minorities). Since the first Pride parade on June 28, 1970 in New York City, recalling the...
Hey Pastor? Why do people wear white robes at church?
In the very early church, people would be baptized naked and then wrapped in a white robe to symbolize their new identity in Christ Jesus. Over time, these white robes became the “clothing” of all baptized Christians and wearing them in worship was common. Today...
