Saturday, April 25, 2015. 4 Easter Yr B April 26 2015. 4 Easter Yr B Ap 26 2015 Audio. When you hear your name like this, you know the one who is speaking it knows who you are. They’ve known you forever, they knew you before you were born, they’ve expected your homecoming, they named you, they love you. Each of us are called by name, often lovingly, sometimes urgently, like the sheep, we seek that voice that calls. Sometimes, we wander far and get caught in the brambles, we get hurt, we break our leg.

Saturday, June 13, 2015. 3rd Sunday after Pentecost Yr B, proper 6, June 14 2015. Audio 3 Pentecost Yr B June 14 2015 (outside in garden). Why do we love the stories of the underdog so much? And so we have before us this story of David in which the underdog becomes the champion. And we have this story of Jesus, in which those who are low are raised up, those who are on the margins are brought to the center, those who have no power are empowered, and lowly fisher folk become disciples.

It seems to me that this feeding story in the gospel of John is a precursor to the feeding stories of our family and church potlucks and meals. They are stories of abundance. When was the last time anyone went away hungry from your family potluck? When was the last time anyone went away hungry from a St. Andrew’s potluck? But sometimes it fe...

The people of the world have been planting the seed, growing the grain, harvesting the grain, grinding the grain, making the flour, adding the yeast, letting the dough rise, punching it down to rise again, forming the loaves, laying the fire, and baking the bread, for as long as stories have been told around those fires.

This moment of welcome, when the shouts of "Blessed be The Lord" are heard throughout the cosmos. This moment is fleeting. It turns quickly to the terrifying shouts of the crowd, "crucify him.".

Aaron said you bet they are, they are drilling holes in the ice! So we are baptized for ministry, what does that mean? And what does that look like? You show up for the Cornerstone meal, you show up for Love INC, you show up at United Campus Ministry. You are church for so many. You show forth God's kingdom, you a...

Saturday, July 11, 2015. 7th Sunday after Pentecost Yr B Proper 10 July 12 2015. Game of Thrones has nothing on Mark's gospel. Devious plots, fire breathing dragons, patricide, overthrowing kingdoms, unhealthy parent child relationships. I know you all have thought lo these many years that your priest has an odd taste in literature, fantasy and science fiction being her favorite. But today I am vindicated, I get it all from reading scripture. So how do we understand this part of Mark's story? Learn How t...

Who is God calling us to be? We are Episcopalian, and we don't all agree. But I believe as a church we are in a very graceful place, a place where we can be transformed by God's love, we do believe that Love wins, and Jesus' healing puts us back together and makes us new.

The church year turns to another beginning, another new year, filled with hope, expectation, anticipation of better relationships between people, and even countries. Advent invites us to turn.

Saturday, January 24, 2015. 3rd Sunday after the Epiphany Yr B Jan 25 2015. Audio 1.25.2015. We have been hearing stories for the last couple of weeks, stories that remind us that God loves us, that we are the delight of God's life. Stories of baptism, God claims us, and we are marked as God's own forever. God calls us, God shows up with us and for us. God calls us wonderfully and fearfully made. How can you make a living fishing for people? How's that going to pay the bills? Studies are showing that peo...
