SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, May 14, 2023
Dear Friends in Christ –
Sometimes it feels like we’re in a particle accelerator. Easter is past, finals are here, the end of the year program for the Kindergarten, Tea Room, Spoleto, Memorial Day. Next thing you know it’s the 4th of July and days are getting shorter!
Not true, but it feels like it!
That’s why it’s so important to stay centered, ‘above your boots,’ I like to say. Stay present and close to the community of the Christ.
This Sunday, Mother’s Day, we engage one of Jesus’ most difficult texts. He’s just sparred with the Pharisees, he’s sat down to lunch and this woman, this Canaanite woman, starts yelling. She won’t be placated until he listens, really listens. And when he listens he hears, he understands, he is moved, he heals… he is changed. You think?
Come this Sunday. Invite your friends. Invite perhaps someone whom you haven’t seen in a while. We’re doin’ church in the park!
In years past we’ve brought out the Seersucker and Fancy Hats. Your choice! We’ll have chairs set up, but you can bring your own (they may be more comfortable:)
Take a moment, take a breath, breathe in and exhale the breath of the Holy in the company of the saints (little ‘s’) as we welcome into membership Clay and Lauren Olson and baptize Eleanor Grace and Charlotte Louise.
Engage scripture and witness strength, humility, perseverance – the love of a mother.
In great anticipation –
