“Let There Be Light!”

May 31, 2026 – Trinity Sunday – May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Good morning, and welcome to Trinity Sunday, when priests usually pass off the sermon to unsuspecting seminarians or assisting clergy. Kidding. Sort of. This is one of the Church’s principal feast days, and the only one that celebrates a doctrine, rather than an event or a person. The doctrine itself is the work of the earliest Christian theologians, who were trying to find a way to understand the nature of God, Christ, and Holy Spirit. Each being part of our scriptures, but their relationship to one another was not in our sacred texts. The Trinity, as a construct, came later. And this mystery of 3 in 1 and 1 in 3 can often end up leading even well intentioned people of faith down a theological rabbit hole. So, that’s why I…

The Feast of Pentecost (WhitSunday) – May 24, 2026: Today’s Preacher is the Rev. Deacon Jackie McLeod: Let us pray. Blessed God, who gives us light in darkness! Amen. It’s Pentecost!!! Also known as Whit Sunday, Pentecost is a major Christian festival celebrated on the seventh Sunday after Easter. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and the birth of the Christian Church. It is also the day the disciples became apostles. Disciple means “follower or learner,” and apostle means “messenger or missionary.” These men now had the special assignment of spreading the Good News of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Held 50 days after Passover, Pentecost was also called the Festival of Harvest. It was one of three major annual festivals of thanksgiving for the harvested crops. Jesus was crucified at Passover time, and he ascended 40 days after his resurrection. The Holy Spirit came…

May 17, 2026: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Happy Easter! I shared a meme on my Facebook page this past Thursday. It was the Feast of the Ascension, and it depicted the scene we heard about this morning from the Acts of the Apostles. Jesus is heading up to heaven like he has those rocket packs we were all promised as a kid – and below are the apostles looking up at him. Anyway, the meme said – keep scrolling, Jesus needs to ascend. Which, if you do, Jesus just keeps moving up, up, and away on your screen. You gotta love the ingenuity of whoever thought that one up. I personally would have added sound – you know, Rocket Man by Elton John or something like that. At any rate, I love the part of the Ascension narrative when the two messengers –…
