Dear Cobham Park Church Family, Time—we impatiently wish it would hurry up and get out of our way. Time—we desperately try to slow it down as we dread its passing. Time—we waste it without a second thought. Time—we can never go back for a redo. Time—it is our dearest gift and greatest accountability. Time—we don’t… Read More »

February 2022 Dear Cobham Park Church Family, Sniffle…cough…sniffle…cough. Ugh! Colds are a bummer—especially when you catch one during a pandemic. What was once a seasonal annoyance now becomes a high-stakes medical crisis. My kitchen counter was recently littered with tissues, cough drops, pills, NyQuil bottles, and COVID test kits (which were thankfully negative). In my… Read More »

Dear Cobham Park Church Family, Look at Jesus! In Christ’s Love, Pastor Keith P.S. I admit that my letter was on the short side, but sometimes less is more. Just let me be Captain Obvious this month.

Three unseen companions go with him: … Read More »
Dear Church – Special Edition March 20, 2020
Dear Cobham Park Church Family, Last Sunday morning, I walked into our empty sanctuary and felt the painful loss of being separated from you.

As I’ve been forced to… Read More »

Dear Cobham Park Church Family, The Coronavirus (Covid-19) is in the headlines now, but I hope it will be yesterday’s news by the time you read this. Even the thought of a contagious virus makes people nervous. Other disasters can be easier to deal with. We can track approaching hurricanes with sophisticated equipment. Destructive fires… Read More »
A note from Pastor Keith — February 2020
Dear Cobham Park Church Family, I have always been drawn to beautiful things: good books, art, well-made homes, fine craftsmanship–the list goes on and on. With the appreciation of nice things comes a strong desire to find, buy, create, collect, or otherwise make them my own. This is where things go wrong. I can… Read More »
