Kids, Youth and Faith: September 2009

http://kidsyouthandfaith.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Kids, Youth and Faith. The Rev'd Cathy Dempesy, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buffalo, NY. Monday, September 21, 2009. The Courage of Letting Others be First. Proper 20, Year B. Sermon preached at St. Paul's Cathedral, Buffalo New York, 20 September 2009. But then, just when I wondered where civility had gone, where respect lost its way and where dignity became something to avoid instead of embrace, I am buoyed by flashes of grace. Today we recognize Sgt Monti as a hero and we grieve for his family…the ima...

Kids, Youth and Faith: My last sermon at St. Paul's.

http://kidsyouthandfaith.blogspot.com/2010/04/my-last-sermon-at-st-pauls.html

Kids, Youth and Faith. The Rev'd Cathy Dempesy, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buffalo, NY. Sunday, April 11, 2010. My last sermon at St. Paul's. In these early days of Easter doubt isn’t the sole property of Thomas. Doubt isn’t a bad thing, it’s just a human thing. But it’s not only bad news that can be met with doubt, good news can be equally difficult to fathom. Doubt buys us time for the joy to fully engage, it buys us time to gird ourselves against the bad. And in those first few hours, those first few days ...

http://kidsyouthandfaith.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Kids, Youth and Faith. The Rev'd Cathy Dempesy, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buffalo, NY. Saturday, May 30, 2009. The Descent of the Holy Spirit Gives us Life. Tomorrow we will also recognize our Sunday School teachers and later in the day we'll bid the program a year a final adieu with the annual choir banquet (you don't want to miss the skit- -Mother Liza and Mr Bruns in a Name that Hymn contest orchestrated by Ms Rockwood and Mother Cathy.

Kids, Youth and Faith: Sermon for Lent 2C

http://kidsyouthandfaith.blogspot.com/2010/02/sermon-for-lent-2c.html

Kids, Youth and Faith. The Rev'd Cathy Dempesy, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buffalo, NY. Sunday, February 28, 2010. Sermon for Lent 2C. This sermon is based, in large part, on an essay written by Kae Evensen in the 2.23.10 issue of The Christian Century. It quite possibly has not reached earth yet. The light, which holds that promise of God, has yet to arrive. God’s promise is still unfolding! The nature of our humanity is to fear the silence, to resist the dark and to recoil from the reaching out of God&#8217...

Kids, Youth and Faith: July 2009

http://kidsyouthandfaith.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Kids, Youth and Faith. The Rev'd Cathy Dempesy, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buffalo, NY. Sunday, July 12, 2009. Oh that’s conditional…there are times we really don’t like the one’s we love. Is God, as the ultimate parent, any different? Considering scripture in general and today’s readings specifically, I don’t think so. I know God loves us, but I’m not sure God likes us all the time. For the most part God liked Amos—. Isn’t God’s love, as bestowed upon us a clarion call to love one another? Herod couldn&#8217...

Kids, Youth and Faith: January 2010

http://kidsyouthandfaith.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Kids, Youth and Faith. The Rev'd Cathy Dempesy, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buffalo, NY. Sunday, January 17, 2010. The Exquisite Love of God, Bursting Out All Over Epiphany 2 Yr C. The Wedding in Cana is no different. Mary feels for the host, who has run out of wine and sees a perfect opportunity for Jesus to reveal his glory and help the host save face. A fully human family conflict played out within the Holy Family. But hearing this and “getting it” are two different things. But, the wine is running out and ...

Kids, Youth and Faith: March 2010

http://kidsyouthandfaith.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Kids, Youth and Faith. The Rev'd Cathy Dempesy, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buffalo, NY. Tuesday, March 16, 2010. Sermon for Lent 4c: God's Prodigious Love. Today’s Gospel begins with Jesus being harangued by the Pharisees…so what’s new, right? And, as is his custom, Jesus answers the charges with a parable. The parable of the prodigal son is said to be the most famous. This is no surprise really- - we all know this guy don’t we? They get the fatted calf, the jewels, the nice clothes….the hugs. Many of us here...

Kids, Youth and Faith: December 2009

http://kidsyouthandfaith.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Kids, Youth and Faith. The Rev'd Cathy Dempesy, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buffalo, NY. Saturday, December 26, 2009. Christmas Day, 2009: "It's Just for You.". 8220;What’s this? 8221; “A present for you.” “For me? 8221; “Yes, it’s for you.” “Why? 8221; “ Because I love you very much.”. And that, the expression of God’s love for us through the birth of Christ, is what the Christmas story is all about. We hear it loud and clear in today’s Gospel. This savior, this babe wrapped in cloth and lying in a feeding cr...

Kids, Youth and Faith: June 2009

http://kidsyouthandfaith.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Kids, Youth and Faith. The Rev'd Cathy Dempesy, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buffalo, NY. Monday, June 15, 2009. The Parable: Cracked Open. Sermon Preached on Sunday June 14, 2009. Parables as Jerome Berryman, the creator of Godly Play our church school curriculum says, are difficult to engage and we need to be ready for them. You see parables, when we’re ready to hear and explore them usually tell us just what we need to hear. BUT, our donations to the food pantry are up, the Liberian community will graduate 6...
