Truth-Telling on Ash Wednesday

February 22, 2023 By Leyla King Leave a Comment

Recently, a parishioner described to me her experience of a funeral at another church. “They kept talking about the person’s ‘transition,’” she said. “It took me a while to figure out that they were using that word as a euphemism for death.”

This summer, I have learned a lot about how to hold contrasting feelings: joy and sadness, excitement and anxiety, even fear and courage.

Waiting on the Reveal

April 26, 2022 By Laura Shaver 2 Comments

In this season of Easter, I have been wondering just when and how Jesus might reveal himself to our oldest son, or all our sons for that matter.

Weary and Burdened

March 22, 2022 By Christian Simmers Leave a Comment

What do we do when we, as a congregation, as a community, as a world, are truly exhausted and need the rest Jesus promises? Is that space still in the sanctuary? Or are we meant to seek peace away from our community as we heal?
