Photos From Our Pageant and Lessons & Carols
“Disoriented Expectancy”
December 10, 2023: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. We just heard the opening verses from the Gospel of Mark, starring that locust and honey eating prophet of fame – John the baptizer, telling us to prepare the way for the one who is to come. To understand the entire…
“Shepherd And Servant”
November 26, 2023: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Well, welcome to the post-stuffing-our-face-not-gonna-get-on-a-scale-for-weeks season. I pray you all enjoyed Thanksgiving, and no, we didn’t turn off the heat so you could burn more calories sitting in the pews – but hey, that is the bright side I suppose of…
Holiday Gift & Toy Drive – Ends Dec 10
We are helping to collect gifts and toys to support our Diocesan Prison Ministry. Gifts must be in gift bags, NOT wrapped. Label gift with a large, removeable tag that has age and gender. Any gift cards need to be in a clearly marked business size (or larger) envelope so nothing is misplaced. Gift suggestions:…
“Take The Risk”
November 19, 2023: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. This past Thursday, several of you joined me at the community interfaith Thanksgiving service at Temple Ner Tamid.

Join us on November 16th at 7:30pm at Temple Ner Tamid (936 Broad St, Bloomfield) as members of the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities come together to pray, sing, and eat together. This year, even with all the challenges around us, we…
Food/Hygiene Drive A Big Success!
Thank you to our Seminarian Jackie for leading this effort, to Kiwanis of Cedar Grove and our parishioners for volunteering! We needed four vehicles to haul it all over to Holy Spirit Episcopal in Verona for their Food Pantry!
“Let Us Not Tire Of Preaching Love”
October 29, 2023: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Bible trivia question: How did scholars figure out that maybe, just maybe, the tradition that Moses wrote the first five books of the bible, the Jewish Torah, might not be accurate? Answer: The passage from Deuteronomy we heard today, for a…
“We Did The Things”
October 15, 2023: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. I don’t know if any of you have read the entire bible, but if you haven’t, you can always use this Cliff Notes version. I needed some help, so I asked our fabulous choir to play along here. I’ll play the…
