Beginning on May 7th, our Labyrinth Walk & Compline (a short service of contemplative prayer) returns. It will be on the first Wednesday of the month. The church will be opened at 6:30pm for a moment sitting in the softly lit church or walking the meditative labyrinth. Ancient Chant or other contemplative music is played while you walk. At 7pm, there is a short service of Compline to close the day. All are welcome.

May 11, 2025: Alleluia! Christ is risen! Welcome to Good Shepherd Sunday, always the fourth Sunday of Easter, when we hear the gospel message of Jesus as our shepherd, whose voice we hear and whom we follow. It is also Mother’s Day in the secular world. I hope to get lots of licks and meows from my dog Lexi and my two cats Katie & Lauren when I get home later today. But as I note every year, this is also a difficult day, or one that brings about mixed feelings for many – those whose mother’s have died, or those whose mothers are absent – in whatever way that may mean – or those mothers who have lost a child, or those women who could not have one – for them Mother’s Day can be troubling, awkward, or even painful. And if that is you, know that we, your…
May 4, 2025: Alleluia! Christ is risen! Now, you’ll know I am a bit of a geek; and, as this is a special day for Star Wars fans, I suppose I should begin by saying: May the 4th be with you! You know, you can always tell when an Episcopalian is watching a Star Wars movie. It’s true. When a Jedi says “May the force be with you,” we automatically respond with “And also with you!” Sadly, we could use some Jedi knights about now, because it would seem that the Empire is striking back. I mean, if it is a day that ends in Y, it is a day when the news has some inhumane, unjust, or illegal act committed by our nation’s leaders. There was the continued illegal deportations without the due process of law guaranteed to all persons (citizen or not) by our Constitution. This included a…
April 27, 2025: Alleluia! Christ is Risen! Happy Easter! Now, for all of you that thought Easter was last Sunday…today is Easter…too, or 2. Easter is not just a single day on the calendar. We are still celebrating Easter and we are in Eastertide until the day of Pentecost, this year falling on June 8th. And because we always read this text from John on this Sunday, the one about Thomas, some call this Doubting Thomas Sunday. Thomas is my absolute second favorite apostle…after Mary Magdalene, of course. I love Thomas because Thomas is me – and really, all of us. And most of you know from past sermons that we have done Thomas wrong all these years. But before we get there, let’s do a brief recap of this story of the first appearance to the male disciples. I say male because Jesus already appeared to the women –…
