June 7, 2026: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Sometimes the life of a priest is about prayer, worship, pastoral care, and all the other things many people think about when they wonder what clergy do. Often it is also about boilers, budgets, broken pipes, roof leaks, personnel issues, or paperwork. But once in awhile, it offers a special little gift to this priest – the joy of children in our Nursery School on the day of graduation. This past Friday, my dog Lexi and I participated again in our preschool graduation ceremony, bidding farewell this year to 11 children heading off to Kindergarten, including Sophia Reynolds. Professor Lexi, in her cap and gown, not only leads the procession, but offered up a few words of advice to the graduates: “do not be afraid to snag the treats and be sure to take time for…
May 31, 2026 – Trinity Sunday – May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Good morning, and welcome to Trinity Sunday, when priests usually pass off the sermon to unsuspecting seminarians or assisting clergy. Kidding. Sort of. This is one of the Church’s principal feast days, and the only one that celebrates a doctrine, rather than an event or a person. The doctrine itself is the work of the earliest Christian theologians, who were trying to find a way to understand the nature of God, Christ, and Holy Spirit. Each being part of our scriptures, but their relationship to one another was not in our sacred texts. The Trinity, as a construct, came later. And this mystery of 3 in 1 and 1 in 3 can often end up leading even well intentioned people of faith down a theological rabbit hole. So, that’s why I…
The Feast of Pentecost (WhitSunday) – May 24, 2026: Today’s Preacher is the Rev. Deacon Jackie McLeod: Let us pray. Blessed God, who gives us light in darkness! Amen. It’s Pentecost!!! Also known as Whit Sunday, Pentecost is a major Christian festival celebrated on the seventh Sunday after Easter. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and the birth of the Christian Church. It is also the day the disciples became apostles. Disciple means “follower or learner,” and apostle means “messenger or missionary.” These men now had the special assignment of spreading the Good News of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Held 50 days after Passover, Pentecost was also called the Festival of Harvest. It was one of three major annual festivals of thanksgiving for the harvested crops. Jesus was crucified at Passover time, and he ascended 40 days after his resurrection. The Holy Spirit came…
