“Who Do You Say That You Are?”

August 27, 2017: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. We are, sadly, heading into the last few days of summer.  I hate this time of year.  I love summer so much (well, not on Sundays when it is really hot – geez we need some AC, right?). While…

The Search/Nominating Committee for the selection of our next bishop have been holding Listening Meetings in July, August and will hold more in September of this year.

“Resist! Persist! Be Vigilant!”

August 20, 2017: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. It is so good to be back with you all.  I have been away on vacation, but all of you have been, as always, close to my heart, and I have missed you!  Now…did I miss anything?  Anything happen?…

Fall Parish Work Day – Sep 16

Come lend a bit of your time and talent to help keep our parish a warm and welcoming place to gather.  We will be working on sprucing up the kitchen, painting the bathrooms, and a few other things too.  The day starts at 9am and we finish at 1pm.  Everyone is welcome – everyone is…

“Buckle Up, Buttercup!”

July 22, 2017: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. Wow – that’s a whole mess of parables. Now remember – two weeks ago, Jesus was telling this big crowd about a farmer tossing seed everywhere.  Last week, on the Jesus Channel, he told them about weeds and wheat…

“The Gospel According To Pogo”

  July 23, 2017: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. Well, isn’t THAT just a fun gospel passage.  Jesus tells the crowds – you know, those same folks from last week, another parable (actually – he tells a few more, but our lectionary cuts them out and makes…

“Field Of Dreams”

July 16, 2017: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. Thanks to things really starting to take off in our parish office, I was able to leave work early enough this week to catch a baseball game.  No, not the Mets, or even the Jackals.  This was a game…

“Just Yoking Around”

July 9, 2017: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. In this season of vacations, I think many count the days dreaming of some rest and fun – I know I am as I near August.  And, I am reminded of something I heard once about a boy coming…

Come As You Are!

Summer does mean more here, so wear shorts, t-shirts, sandals, whatever.  Be comfortable, but be here.  Our 8am is a small and quiet service.  The 10:30 has music (the choir is off in the summer).  The 6pm is outside on the Glen across the street (weather permitting – bring a chair or blanket).
