Sermons
“Christmas Came – Just The Same!”
May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. This past month, I have started a children’s service for our Nursery School kids. We have about 30 kids who have been signed up by their parents to attend. Now this past week, I asked them if they had ever seen “A…
“Who Are You?”
December 10, 2017: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. So, you all know I love Star Wars, Star Trek…well, star anything really. I am a certified geeky priest. But, one thing about Star Wars is that it begins in the middle of the story. Then you go forward,…
“Access The God Inside”
December 3, 2017: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. The hymn we sang this morning is a favorite of so many, and it is little wonder why. Sure, the music is uplifting, but I think it is the words, which come out of the reading we heard this…
“Gratitude Is My Attitude And Prayer Is A Verb”
[Our guest preacher is Mr. Jeffrey Stanfill, a chorister in our parish. For a complete bio, see the bottom of this post.

“What Are We Afraid Of?”
November 19, 2017: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen.

The title of the conference was “Making Meaning of Today’s Cultural Climate.” This title should be enough to given anyone…
“What Are We Waiting For?”
November 12, 2017: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. Last week, as we all were here celebrating All Saints, and commemorating those who have gone on before, there was another church in Texas bowing their heads in prayer… and then they were dead. It is mind boggling to…
“Motorboats & No. 2 Pencils”
November 5, 2017 – All Saints Sunday: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. Most of you know that I grew up in Maryland, which is home to the largest estuary in North America – the Chesapeake Bay. It is a beautiful place, with one really long bridge over…
“Imago Dei”
October 22, 2017: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. Now, you might be thinking I picked this gospel passage for today because it is stewardship season – you know, Jesus is talking about money and giving, right? Well, we read from the Revised Common Lectionary, and I don’t…
“Who Do You Plan To Be?”
October 15, 2017: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. Well, isn’t that just a heartwarming gospel, right? Jesus tells a really weird parable. It’s about a king who wants to throw a wedding banquet for his son, and not only are folks rude and not properly RSVPing, but…
