Sunday Easter 5 (Bishop Visitation)
5/15/22
Change the World

On her visitation the Rt. Rev’d Susan Brown Snook led us in confirmation of our baptismal vows and told us to change the world by sharing God’s love and the good news of Jesus Christ: “It's our mission to love. Jesus calls us to love. We must love. And love is what changes this world.” Read now.

Good Shepherd Sunday Easter 4
5/8/22
Good Shepherd

On Good Shepherd Sunday we revisit how Jesus knows his sheep and how they know him. The Rev’d D. Rebecca Dinovo asks us to listen carefully. If we do “…we discover that we truly do know the voice of the Good Shepherd when we hear it.” Read now.

Sunday Easter 3
5/1/22
Listening Well

The disciples heard Jesus telling them where to successfully cast their net. It’s hard to really listen in the “busyness” of our lives, but the Rev'd Mark Hargreaves says that we too “… must be ready to hear him…We should listen, pay attention, and be prepared to respond.”
Read now.

Sunday Easter 2
4/24/22
Seeing the Stranger

It took the disciples a while to recognize Jesus on the road to Emmaus. This Easter season the Rev’d D. Rebecca Dinovo challenges us “…to practice resurrection by seeing the Resurrected Jesus in the eyes of the strangers around us – and to treat them with the kind of charity and kindness that we would have for Jesus himself.” Read now.

Easter Sunday (In-person worship)
4/17/22
Shrouded Jesus

Speaking in front of scaffolding and a shrouded Christus Rex, the Rev’d Mark Hargreaves uses his surroundings as metaphors to assure us that “…we too are a work in progress and that one glorious day our resurrection hope will be fulfilled and we shall behold the glory of our Lord face to face.” Read now.

Easter Sunday (Online worship)
4/17/22
My Story

The Rev’d D. Rebecca Dinovo places herself in St. Peter’s shoes to deliver a first-person account of Peter’s journey with Jesus:  “Jesus changed my life. He will change yours, too.”
Read now.

Maundy Thursday
4/14/22
Stinky feet

Jesus washed their stinky feet. On this “mandate” Thursday the Rev’d D. Rebecca Dinovo makes it real by taking us down to the streets of Jerusalem where “…we are to walk in his steps and live according to his radical example of incarnational and sacrificial love.”
Read now.

Palm Sunday
4/10/22
King of Hearts

Our “king of kings” rides into town on a donkey and within a week is crucified with common criminals. The Rev’d. D. Rebecca Dinovo asks what kind of king is this? The answer: a king of the heart for a “…spiritual kingdom that ultimately conquers evil and death through love and sacrifice, not political
​ prowess, war, or coercion.” Read now.

Sunday, Lent 5
4/3/22
Packing for the Journey

Following St. Paul’s journeys can help us look at our own life journeys. Are we burdened down, or have we packed light? The Rev’d Mark Hargreaves encourages us to “follow Paul's example of his focus and his determination. He knew what was most important in life.”
