“An Advent Saint”

December 6, 2020: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard.  Amen. Here we are in December.  We are nearing the end of this crazy year.  We have feasted at smaller tables, or hopefully so, on Thanksgiving, and the leftovers are finally gone – right to our waists.  The Black Friday, Small Business…

Christmas Eve – 7pm

Mother Diana will read the classic story “A Visit From St. Nicholas” from her home.  Did you know that this book has a tie to the Episcopal Church, or that St. Nick is a saint of the church?  Mother Diana will give a quick overview of that story about the story before the reading.  The…

An Election Day Prayer

Most merciful God, whose son Jesus Christ taught us to love and to serve, may we be guided by Your Holy Spirit in this time of decision for our nation. Help us to remember that there are so many around the world who do not have this freedom, and remember too the lives lost to…

“Of Calves & Kings”

October 11, 2020: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard.  Amen. Over the past several Sundays, we have been following the story in Exodus, because their long struggle with the plagues, and the desert crossing on their way to the promised land, resonates with what is happening now in this time of…
