Today we have one of those special Sundays when one of our Red-Letter Feast Days falls on an ordinary Sunday. In the Anglican Tradition, the Red-Letter days are the major feasts of the Church commemorating biblical figures and events. The Black-Letter days are the minor feasts and fasts commemorating other figures and events from Church…
Text: 2 Corinthians 8:1-15, 9:6-15 As I mentioned in the announcements, we are in the middle of our annual stewardship campaign, when we prayerfully make our pledges for the year as to how we will serve the Lord in this parish with our giving. In the Scriptures we see that the ultimate purpose for our…
Text: Matthew 22:1-11 Most people consider their wedding day to be one of the grandest, most memorable, most important days of their lives. That certainly is my own experience. I remember my last meal as a single man (pizza, of course). I remember my best man furiously scouring the Internet for gluten-free cake options when…
Text: Matthew 9:1-8 For those of us who have been using the parish Lectionary from the North American Anglican that takes us through the entire bible each year, we are currently in the middle of 1 Kings for our Morning Prayer Old Testament Lesson.

Text: Matthew 6:24-34 If you’re anything like me, you’re no stranger to a sleepless night. As a sleep apnea patient, I cannot remember a time when I have slept well on my own. In fact, I’ve had a terrible habit since I was a kid of listening to music or videos as I go to…
Text: Galatians 5:16-25 When my Abuelita died ten years ago, my parents moved a peach tree from her property to theirs. Truth be told, it hardly qualified to be called a tree!
