“Incarnation Incarcerated”

May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. So, today is Trinity Sunday. Now, folks like to answer, when asked about this doctrine – “It’s a mystery.”  Others would respond the same way when asked why on earth there is a Trinity Sunday, given that it is the only Sunday…

Vigil For Love Against Hate – Photos

On Thursday, June 16th at 7pm at Christ Church, our community came together to stand in solidarity with the victims of this latest mass shooting, and in a call for action, for peace, and for love.  It was a vigil for healing, but also for action.

“Turtles & Tongues”

  May 15, 2016 – Pentecost: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. Happy Pentecost! Today is one of the most important Sundays of the Church.  In fact, Pentecost & Easter were central to Christian communities for centuries.  But, it seems in modern times that Pentecost has been lost…

We’ve Been Flocked!

As part of a fundraiser for our local Boy Scout Troop, Christ Church has been “flocked.” As you can see, we are being visited by two distinguished flocks of the bird species known as Pinkus Flamingus Plasticus.  While we enjoy their visit, we have heard that they are quite willing to fly to another location,…

“Why Isn’t God A Girl?”

May 8, 2016: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. Does anyone else think we should have heard about Noah and the ark today?  I am thinking we might want to start building one. I want to wish all the women here a very Happy Mother’s Day.  I say…

“Do You Want To Be Made Well?”

May 1, 2016: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. What a great Sunday we had last week – having the joy of being host to our bishop.  And I think his visit was perfectly timed, because we are in Eastertide, and he talked a lot about all of…
