Preaching is a conversation with God and community and where I experienced that this week was from a young woman poet, Amanda Gorman.
In this new year I invite you to look for “Follow Me” moments. Spaces and people that need the explicit invitation to join God’s beloved community.
I hope we can wonder together what the cleansing, the connecting, or the assurance is you need today for yourself and your church.
The star in the Epiphany story brings people to Jesus and in turn brings Jesus to the people. It’s powerful and meaningful- and unexpected.
May the peace and joy of Christ Jesus born anew in our midst, inspire new places of love and community in your life.
How do we love, value, and support pregnant women and newborn babies? Especially if they are left out of the narrative.
The simplicity of letting our words be enough and knowing that they are always sent with the loving care of Christ’s communal vision, is a prayer that I hold for each of us.
God’s Grace is manifest in and extended to each of us. All that is required is that we live fully and authentically as ourselves.
We embody the divinity of diversity best when we are open to the changing ways of the Spirit. This community, in this time, has done that in all the ways and for all the things.
God is always looking for us at our best - even though God sees us (and loves us) at our worst. Is that not the beauty of God’s grace in action?
