Mother Diana’s Letter To The Editor
“You Give Them Something To Eat”
August 2, 2020: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Okay, I admit it…I have been binge watching movies on the Hallmark channel lately, because they were running a Christmas in July movie marathon. Yup – totally going to get called out by the liturgical police, but hey – we need…
“The Stories We Tell”
July 12, 2020: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. I have never been pregnant myself – it would be nearly impossible now, unless a star is rising in the East somewhere – but I suspect that many women who have been can relate to something we heard in the Genesis…
Summer Worship Schedule!
On July 12th, and August 2 & 9 at 10:30am, we are offering virtual worship and coffee hour live from Christ Church! While you don’t need access to the internet to listen in and participate in the coffee hour by phone, you will need it to see it all…and for us to see you! You…
“Rest For Weary Souls”
July 5, 2020: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Oh what food these words of Jesus are to us who hunger for rest from the ravages of 2020. This year has…
“Silence=Death”
June 28, 2020 – LGBTQ+ Sunday: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. I want to tell you a story about a group of people who had had enough. They were tired of being harassed, arrested, abused, pushed to the margins, killed, rejected, blackmailed, and hated. They were gay men and…
“Hagar’s Voice”
June 21, 2020: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father… Whoever loves father or mother more than me…
“The Courage Of Compassion”
June 14, 2020: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Welcome to what the church calls “Ordinary Time.” Ordinary Time. Does this seem like an Ordinary Time for you’all? Now yesterday, I was taking advantage of both being home more, and the slightly cooler weather, so I went out to finish…
“Christ Is With Us…Are We With Him?”
June 7, 2020 – Trinity Sunday: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Now, before we get started here, just a public service announcement – let us NOT do as the epistle from 2 Corinthians implores and greet each other with a “holy kiss.” Just not safe right now folks, okay?…
“God’s Eye View”
May 31, 2019 – Feast of Pentecost: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Welcome to the Feast of Pentecost. It is a principal feast day, sometimes thought of as the birthday of the church, and I am guessing that many of you are wearing festive red – a tradition –…
