In my family’s home, we have this game we play. It’s a spinoff of Hide and Go Seek, we call it Hide and Go Scare. I LOVE it. I love being scared. I love scary movies, scary books. Around our home, I even love scaring my husband Darius and our daughter Vivian. Sometimes I’ll hear

The Duruflé Requiem–A Study in Light
Tonight, we celebrate All Souls. It is the service where we remember those who have died. The service is set within the framework of Maurice Duruflé’s requiem mass. Duruflé, a French composer, wrote this mass in response to a commission offered in 1941 by the Vinci regime in France for the composition of a symphonic
Mary, Martha, and Listening
It’s a familiar story, isn’t it, this story of the two sisters, Martha and Mary, and their dinner guest, Jesus. Martha, the anxious host, wants to make sure everything is “just so” for their honored guest. We’re even told that she’s “distracted.” And then she sees her sister, Mary, who is not only not helping
Technology and the Feast of Pentecost

Faith in Hard Times
Good morning. On Thursday evening this past week at the Feast of the Epiphany I shared my vision for this parish over the next year or seven. It included more thorough integration of our spiritual conversations. And so, today we begin with a sermon titled: Faith in Hard Times, followed by the 10:00 am forum
Sermon Series #3 on Kingdom of God Intelligence: Trust Versus Control
Two Sundays ago, Kelli Martin, in her sermon, talked about the necessity of facing our life. That theme was picked up at our men’s retreat last weekend by our leader, Dr. Ron David. He formed the retreat around four questions: facing God, facing ourselves, facing our neighbor, and facing the existential threats that seem to
