“Oh Say Can You See?”
May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. So, the other day, a close friend of mine that I’ve know for nearly 30 years cracked me up…seems he was looking for his eyeglasses. “I couldn’t find them anywhere, he told me. I was in a hurry, trying to get out…
“Doubt & Faith”

May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. Why is this night different than all other nights? That is a question our Jewish brothers and sisters asked earlier this week around the Seder table at the beginning of Passover. And we can ask it here now… Why is this day…

Fighting The Good Fight
Our own Rick Fox, seen here with his guide dog “Guy” serving as Worship Assistant/Lector at the 8am service, was featured in an NBC New York program about people who fight the good fight – in this case, for accessibility and justice for those with physical challenges – especially blindness and deafness. Pat Battle speaks…
