“Lord, it is good that we are here.”
Taylor Baar Communications and Stewardship Director
The Gospel reading this weekend is one of my favorites. We get to hear about the Transfiguration, which unfolds in three movements that I think reflect the life of discipleship.
First there is, as Miley Cyrus sings, the climb. Jesus leads Peter, James, and John up a high mountain. The ascent is intentional. It reminds us that the spiritual life involves journey, challenge, and trust. Like Lent, it often means stepping away from comfort and routine so that our hearts can be prepared for deeper encounter. Second, there is the mountaintop experience. Jesus is transfigured, and Peter says, “Lord, it is good that we are here.” That line captures the joy of encountering God; those moments of clarity, peace, and grace when everything feels aligned. Peter wants to build tents and stay. We can understand that desire. We long to hold on to those sacred moments and stay where it feels good.
But the third movement is essential. They head down the mountain. The Transfiguration is not meant to be paused forever, but to strengthen them for what lies ahead. Discipleship is not about escaping ordinary life; discipleship is encountering God and returning to our “ordinary” lives transformed.
Every Eucharist, every Lent is a kind of mountain. We are given a glimpse of Christ’s glory so that we can carry hope into a world that often feels heavy. The Transfiguration reminds us that beyond the cross is Resurrection and that even now, the light of Christ shines.
We climb. We encounter. We descend. We do that all carrying the light of Christ into the everyday and allowing even the ordinary to become holy. Lord, it is good that we are here.

As we open the door to Spring, our 6th - 8th grade math students have been embracing the season of change and Wisconsin sports teams. Each week this year, the students are given the opportunity to predict different sporting events by providing a score and their winner. To decide their prediction, many students dive deep, discussing the opponent and previous performances of different teams.
In the Algebra class, students are learning all about the different ways linear equations can be used, specifically systems of equations. Students use their knowledge of solving and graphing singular linear equations into solving and graphing multiple linear equations at once.
In the 6th and 7th grade classes, we have been embracing the challenges of Geometry, where students are asked to think visually, logically, and abstractly all at
see this in the real -world, while 7th grade is learning all about circles and the volume and surface area of different 3D shapes. Visually, students are challenged to imagine how shapes can be cut into sections, finding the area, volume, and surface area of 2D and 3D objects and real -life scenarios they may encounter. Moreover, geometry teaches students to see the value in precision, as mislabeling a diagram or skipping a logical step may lead to an incorrect conclusion.
As March begins to unfold and students are exposed to the different ideas concerning geometry, an exciting day in the math community is approaching. Pi Day, celebrated each year on March 14, honors the mathematical constant of Pi and to appreciate the importance of mathematics in everyday life. Each class is beginning to prepare for Pi Day, by creating cityscapes using a circle template and varying building heights, based on the digits of pi. Pi Day isn’t just about celebrating a math symbol, it is also to help remind students that mathematics is full of wonder, discovery, and curiosity.

1 in 5 adults lives with a mental illness, but 5 in 5 are affected. Mental illnesses can take a toll on family, friends, and co -workers. You want to help, but everything you’ve tried hasn’t worked, or worse, has backfired. Or maybe your loved one is newly diagnosed, and you want to make sure you have skills at the ready for the inevitable challenges that will arise.
You are not alone. Your loved one’s illness is not your fault. The more you understand, the better able you are to communicate and navigate.
