Last Sunday our Rector, The Rev. Elizabeth G. Maxwell, delivered a wise and insightful sermon placing the scripture of the day, and our parish life, in the national context. You can listen to her sermon with this link. Please join us anytime Sunday through Friday for sermons, homilies, fellowship and prayer. Everyone is welcome here!

Her closing remarks were as follows:

“This is a time when the church really matters. It matters to us and to those around us. It matters that we stand up, do justice, love mercy, walk humbly with God. We will not see all things exactly the same way. We will not all have exactly the same gifts and ministries. But it matters that we value and respect and support each other as we serve God in whatever way we understand our call to that service. Each one of us matters in that gospel mission.

So may we respond gladly. Gladly, to the call to do justice and love kindness and walk humbly. And in that way, may we know the fullness of God’s blessing.”
