“When You Pass Through The Waters”

January 9, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard.  Amen. Happy New Year one and all!  It is good to be back, though I do love the twelve days of Christmas.  I think it is kind of sad that right after the Magi make their long journey to the Christ child,…

“The Saint, The Ruler, & The Prophet”

December 26, 2021: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard.  Amen. Well, you made it!  The stores will soon have “after Christmas” sales on, and likely have started putting out Valentine’s Day displays. Folks believe that everything can go back to normal – to the way it was.  Some Christmas trees will…

Baptism – Jan 9

On the Sunday when we celebrate the baptism of Jesus, we will also welcome another child into the household of God in baptism.  If you are considering baptism for yourself, or for your child, please see Mother Diana after any worship service.   All baptisms happen at our 10:30am service.

“All Shall See!”

December 5, 2021: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. I don’t know if you noticed the turn.  You know, the turn our gospel just took for us today?  We are now on our 5th Sunday of the original 7 week Advent, and Advent always begins, whether 4 weeks or 7…

Hughes, eleventh bishop of the Diocese of Newark, will be visiting our parish on Sunday, December 12th.  She will celebrate at the 10:30am service, and will meet with everyone in the parish hall afterward.  Then, she will meet with our leadership. Let us all be present to welcome…

“Into The Woods”

November 28, 2021: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Well, by now, I hope all the stuffing, mashed potatoes, and turkey – or whatever it is that makes up your Thanksgiving feast – is now history – even while we know it will stick around awhile on the scale.  And…
