November 20, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. For some, this is a day called Christ the King Sunday, but the truth is, that is not a title he would have ever claimed. As we heard in the Gospel, it was a title given to him by the oppressors…
November 13, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Having celebrated All Saints, and survived the time change back to EST (barely), we are now in Advent.

November 6, 2022 – All Saints Sunday: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Well, today is our Annual Meeting, which will take place in the Parish Hall after this service.

October 16, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Well, that’s an odd gospel, right? Jesus is imploring his disciples to pray always and not lose heart. Sounds good. But then he tells them a story about a judge who had no respect for God, or for his neighbor. A…
October 9, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Last week, on the Jesus Channel, the disciples are asking Jesus to increase their faith, and he tells them that with faith the size of a mustard seed, they can do miraculous things. Today, Jesus himself does the miraculous. So, to…
October 2, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Today we celebrate our Fall Founder’s Fest after the worship service.

September 25, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. This past week we witnessed the funeral of a great woman of faith…two, really.

September 11, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. It would seem a lot of things get lost these days. I say that because I can’t seem to find my keys anywhere, but had I put an Apple air tag on them…well, I might have had a chance. The fact…
September 4, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. When I was a little girl, I remember hearing in Sunday School that God is always watching us. Probably, the teacher was trying to say “watching over us,” but given that I also loved Christmas and Santa Claus, I probably conflated…
August 28, 2022: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. It is so good to be back here with you, and I am so grateful for the good care of Fr. Barry while I was away. Now, in the gospel we just heard, Jesus is heading over with a Pharisee on…
