In worship, the theme was the Transfiguration (not the Feast of the Transfiguration but reading about the Transfiguration). Our collect reminds us that we (humanity) have been shown the light of Christ on the mountain. But that wasn’t something that happened in isolation, but as a means to prepare us to carry our cross as […]
As we gathered for worship we asked for the reminder that Jesus visits us daily to prepare us for his second coming and to remember that there is built for all of us, a mansion in heaven with many rooms for all creation. The Psalmist sings a song that reminds us that God is the […]
We hear and echo the plea that God’s power might come with great might to save us because we, in our weakness, are unable to attain God’s grace. We ask for God’s bounty to come on us so we can not lose heart. Our Hebrew Scripture from the Prophet Isaiah helps us transition from the […]
We gathered for worship on the first Sunday of Advent and the beginning of our new liturgical year. We heard our yearly reminder that God’s grace is what drives away darkness in our lives and that our model for life is Jesus. We are reminded that when we follow Christ we will find ourselves in […]

Our work with the saints brings us joy in the middle of trouble and confidence in the future. Our reading from Hebrew scripture was taken from Daniel and […]

In worship we were reminded that we need to resist trusting in our own strength to be successful. We know that the true success comes from accepting God’s grace and mercy on a daily basis. Our lesson from Hebrew Scripture comes from the prophet Jeremiah as he addressed Israel while they were questioning whether God […]
As we began our worship we offered the prayer which reminds us that God’s grace gives us the spirit to think and to do the things that are right. But not that we can think and do right on our own, we can only do that by the grace of God in Christ. Our lesson […]
