Feb. 21, 2017 12 noon Historical Society of Carroll County Box Lunch Talk: In Carrie's Footprints: The Long Walk of Warren Dorsey


Feb. 21, 2017 12 noon Historical Society of Carroll County Box Lunch Talk:  In Carrie's Footprints: The Long Walk of Warren Dorsey

Join HSCC for lunch on February 21st at Noon! Grace Hall at Grace Lutheran Church, 21 Carroll Street Westminster 21157. For more information go here: http://hsccmd.org/programs-calendar.asp#Febcalendar

96-year-old Warren Dorsey, the grandson of a slave, grew up poor in Sykesville during the 1920s and '30s. Jack White will conduct a casual interview with Warren to discuss his slave grandmother, his parents, and the many challenges he overcame during his struggle to educate himself and escape poverty, as chronicled in Jack's book, In Carrie's Footprints.

Please read my story about Warren Dorsey, “Time Flies: Warren Dorsey to speak at Historical Society Box Lunch Talk on Feb. 21,” by Kevin Dayhoff.

Mr. Dorsey is an amazing man. He is a celebrated Carroll County native son who rose above poverty and segregation to become an author, a patent holder, a microbiologist at Fort Detrick in Frederick and later in life a teacher and school principal. Please read about him here: http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/columnists/features/ph-cc-dayhoff-021917-20170216-column.html

Sunday church service at Grace Lutheran Church. 19Feb2017


Sunday church service at Grace Lutheran Church. 19Feb2017 These days, pastors are about as apprehensive as a long-tailed cat in a  room full of rocking chairs. "But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Matthew 5:44 In a time if high anxiety, we are called upon to be the facilitators of reconciliation. God works through us to bring healing and reconciliation to a broken world. well, anyway, that's what I heard and I am sticking with it. Just saying.

Excellent article by Jon Kelvey on Sam Riley’s history presentation on Carroll County Md. history


Excellent article by Jon Kelvey on Sam Riley’s history presentation at the Historical Society of Carroll County celebration of Carroll County’s 180th birthday

Political rancor existed before Carroll County's birthday 180 years ago


The celebration of Carroll County's 180th birthday on Saturday was a couple of days belated: Carroll County was legally formed from portions of Baltimore and Frederick counties on Jan. 19, 1837.

Not that that was a problem for keynote speaker Sam Riley, president of Union Mills Homestead Foundation. Coming a day after the presidential inauguration, Riley saw an opportunity to tie the politics of today to the politics of the past, which he noted were often just as fraught and ill-tempered as today.

"Throughout our history, we've had these very tough elections," he said. "At the end of it all, despite all the nasty things we say about each other, somebody is forced to govern and figure out where to build roads and bridges."

About 50 to 60 people came out to Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster to hear Riley's presentation on one of Carroll County's pioneering families, the Shrivers, and the political debates of their times.

Today's gospel lesson comes from John 1:29-42. Pastor Martha talked with us about, "What are you seeking? Where will the path of discipleship lead us. What are you looking for? The path of discipleship is one of trust.."

Have a great Sunday. Have a great week.

2nd Sunday of Advent services at Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster www.gracelc.org


2nd Sunday of Advent services at Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster www.gracelc.org Dec. 4, 2016 

John the Baptist's job was to prepare the way for Jesus. The gospel lesson for this Sunday comes from Matthew 3:1-12. 

Christmas is about Jesus. Remember this should you get lost in the hecticness of the season and lose sight of this. Jesus is the reason for the season.

We are mindful of the raging fires in Tennessee. The devastation of the fires calls to our attention what is really important to us. If we had to flee the fire, what would we really want to take with us?

Remember Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."

After attending services at the Grace Lutheran Church contemporary service at 9 am, our Estonian guests visited the traditional sanctuary just before the 10:30 am service.


After attending services at the Grace Lutheran Church contemporary service at 9 am, our Estonian guests visited the traditional sanctuary just before the 10:30 am service. Sunday, July 3, 2016 DA CE #estonia

After singing the national anthem between services at Grace Lutheran Church, the next stop for our Estonian dancers is a walking tour of Westminster on their way to the Paide Westminster sign located at the railroad tracks and Main Street in the hearty of historic downtown Westminster. Sun. July 3, 2016 DA CE #estonia

For the past week, June 27 – July 5, 2016, Westminster has hosted two groups of Estonian folk dancers, "Südameke" and "Keerutajad" from Westminster's sister city Paide, thanks, in part, to the hard work of CSM Thomas B. Beyard of the Md National Guard, Audrey Cimino and Jaclyn Mathias-Jones of the Community Foundation of Carroll Co., Aime and Jeff Pringle, and Mari Thalman among many others. Not to be overlooked are members of the Maryland National Guard, Sgt. Matthews Akiba, and Spc. Ronald Maddox for great help with logistics

The visitors include 26 young performers and 10 adults for a total of 36. Among the group are friends of mine, Indrek Kivimäe, a former mayor of Paide, and his wife Tiina, who directs the Paide Girls Choir. Both have visited Westminster before. Most notably Indrek visited us in June 2004 and made a presentation at the Md. Municipal League Convention.

In fact Indrek and Tiina helped host my trip to Estonia in Sept. 2004 when I served as the mayor of Westminster and visited Estonia as part of a diplomatic mission for the Md. National Guard and the U.S. State Department.

Last Wednesday, June 29, 2016, the Estonian dancers and singers performed at the amphitheater at Carroll Community College
