Holy Week

Posted on March 21, 2016 by Rev. Candace Barron

No excused for my dismal lack of posts on this blog. I have been a little busy but I still manage to read on a daily basis, so I should take some time to write as well. Holy Week is a time that we should slow down and embody the process. I have not mastered […]... Read More

Calendar

Posted on September 16, 2015 by Rev. Candace Barron

I have discovered that my calendar is all filled up for the next two months. It shouldn’t have come as such surprise to me, but it did surprise me. Keeping up with two churches, being a Circuit Elder, serving on a couple of boards, is proving to keep me busy. And I LOVE IT!! I […]... Read More

Busy

Posted on July 20, 2015 by Rev. Candace Barron

I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do. I had to hurry and get to work for bills would soon be due. So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, and jumped up off my knees. My Christian duty was now done my soul could rest at ease. All […]... Read More

All Moved In

Posted on July 8, 2015 by Rev. Candace Barron

Thanks to the help of so many friends and family, I was totally moved to the new parsonage on July 1. The unpacking is taking several more days. You know how much I hated the packing phase of moving, the unpacking is proving almost as frustrating. Usually because I can’t find anything, I expect I will […]... Read More

Introduction

Greetings! I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the welcome that you have extended to me and to tell you a little about myself. I was born in Espanola, New Mexico, and grew up on a horse ranch in the northern part of the state. Barrel racing made up a large portion […]... Read More

Searching For Sunday

Posted on May 5, 2015 by Rev. Candace Barron

“Searching For Sunday: Loving, Leaving, and Finding the Church” by Rachel Held Evans I spent this weekend like a schoolgirl with a crush.

Parsonage Visit

Posted on April 29, 2015 by Rev. Candace Barron

I visited my new parsonage today. I will have more room than I know what to do with and a huge yard. Not only a huge fenced yard but a deer pasture behind the house. I will get all my exercise mowing that is for sure. Plus, it has a garage. I haven’t had a […]... Read More

Appointment Announced

Posted on April 27, 2015 by Rev. Candace Barron

It was announced today that I will be serving as Senior Pastor to Gardner Memorial and Amboy UMCs in North Little Rock. I feel like this will be an awesome place to do ministry with the people of both churches. They are both mission minded and I feel like I will fit right in. I […]... Read More

Packing

Posted on April 23, 2015 by Rev. Candace Barron

I really don’t like to pack. I remember when I moved almost every six months, right after I left the Army. I could put everything I owned in my car and move, all by myself, into a new apartment. Those days are long gone. Before I moved the last time, Maryssa and I gave away […]... Read More
