The Fourth Sunday in Lent

This is the sermon I preached at St. Peter's and St. John's on March 22nd, 2009.

As you can see, I had a little help from a little no-legged creature. It was quite fun! The kids at St. Peter's got a little carried-away with all the excitement, and the rest of the congregation had to show a little. . . patience. But, it was great.

(By the way: "vultures falling from heaven?" This is what happens when you don't use a sermon manuscript. . .)

The Third Sunday in Lent

This is the sermon preached at St. Peter's and St. John's on the 15th of March.

God has set us apart: in creation, in covenant, and in the cross and empty tomb - to be saints, and to live holy lives. This Lent, let's live more and more into the holy lives that we have been set apart for.

Picture Caption Contest

Ok, so I was the preacher at the ordination of Karen Crosby and Jim Williams to the priesthood a few weeks back. The only picture of me delivering my sermon is, sadly, above. Come up with a caption, and put it in the 'comments' section below. I don't know what the 'winner' will get - but probably, at least, a good tongue-lashing from me!

Let us be fools

This is a sermon I preached at St. Thomas' Episcopal Church in Hancock, Maryland on Wednesday night, March 4th. They have a Lenten Series, and at the invitation of Fr. Allan Weatherholt, I was the guest preacher.

Sermon: the First Sunday in Lent

After the flood, God gave us a rainbow as the sign of his promise of life, love, mercy and forgiveness. Isn't it interesting that this sign is such a fleeting, myterious thing? What does this mean? And, are there any enduring rainbows?

Someday we'll find it. . . the rainbow connection.
