The Sunday Sermon: God Will Tend to Us

By the Reverend Nancy Emmel Gunn
If you are like me, you read and heard today’s Gospel and responded,  Huh?  What is the message here?  That we should all repent or else we die?  That fig trees should be given three years max to flourish and then away with them?  This passage is rich with visual imagery and meaning but you’ve got to dig:  God loves us all, good and bad. God will tend to us, and we will flourish under his care.

The Sunday Sermon: The "Kindom" of God

by the Reverend David Malek
Oh Divine, most mighty, most merciful, our sacred stories tell us that you help and save your people. You are the fortress: may there be no more war. You are the harvest: may there be no more hunger. You are the light: may no one die alone or in despair. Oh Divine, most majestic, most motherly, grant us your life. Amen.  
That prayer is an interfaith call to peace for Ukraine as published by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  I thought it was an appropriate way to begin my sermon today.  You see, as I prayed about what to preach this morning, I became aware of how much over the past few weeks I have been feeling increasingly anxious and afraid about so much violence, illness, and loss associated with the pandemic and now the war in Ukraine.

Ready for Some Lent Madness?

Picture
Yes, it's Shrove Tuesday, aka Fat Tuesday, aka Mardi Gras... but that's not the kind of madness we're talking about. Rather, we're talking about Lent Madness 2022, the saintly alternative to March Madness sponsored by Forward Movement. The brackets are up, so get your picks in... quickly!
The fun starts Thursday with Stephen vs. Wenceslaus... good luck!
