“A Rather Large Amount Of Gratitude”

October 9, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard.  Amen. Last week, on the Jesus Channel, the disciples are asking Jesus to increase their faith, and he tells them that with faith the size of a mustard seed, they can do miraculous things.  Today, Jesus himself does the miraculous.  So, to…

“Mustard Seeds Of Hope”

October 2, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard.  Amen. Today we celebrate our Fall Founder’s Fest after the worship service.  We don’t do a Homecoming Sunday here, because, well, you all were here through the summer, even if we are in smaller numbers physically present since the pandemic.  The Homecoming,…

“When ‘Isness’ Becomes ‘Oughtness'”

September 25, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard.  Amen. This past week we witnessed the funeral of a great woman of faith…two, really.  Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, and Sheila Jackson, a member of our parish.  The liturgy of the services for the State Funeral & Committal of the Queen…

“The Way…Or In The Way?”

September 11, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard.  Amen. It would seem a lot of things get lost these days.  I say that because I can’t seem to find my keys anywhere, but had I put an Apple air tag on them…well, I might have had a chance.  The fact…

“Marvelously Made”

September 4, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard.  Amen. When I was a little girl, I remember hearing in Sunday School that God is always watching us.  Probably, the teacher was trying to say “watching over us,” but given that I also loved Christmas and Santa Claus, I probably conflated…

“What Would They See?”

August 28, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard.  Amen. It is so good to be back here with you, and I am so grateful for the good care of Fr. Barry while I was away. Now, in the gospel we just heard, Jesus is heading over with a Pharisee on…

“Rich Toward God”

July 31, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Like some of you, I bought a Mega Millions lottery ticket the other day.  I only buy one.  I figure, if God wants me to win it, one is all I need.  Apparently, God has no such plans for my life,…

“Pray Early & Often”

July 24, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. It is good to be back with all of you – or at least those of you brave enough to bear this insane heat.  I pray many of you that are not here are watching from a cool and comfortable place. …
