Here is the prayer at the end of the sermon:

Help us, O Christ, to be yoked to you, to learn from you, to trust you with our burdens as well as our joys. Surround us with people who will act as you when we need it, and, at the same time, strength us to be your hands and feet to those who need someone to walk with them.

Remind us when we forget that we walk this road together with you and with those around us.

Amen.

Diversity, Strength, and the Holy Spirit

Diversity, Strength, and the Holy Spirit

A Pentecost sermon by the Rev. Suzanne Hood.

I end today’s sermon with a poem by English poet, priest, and academic, Malcolm Guite. His words sum up this day for me and I hope you find inspiration in them as well.

Pentecost

Today we feel the wind beneath our wings
Today the hidden fountain flows and plays
Today the church draws breath at last and sings
As every flame becomes a Tongue of praise.
This is the feast of fire, air, and water
Poured out and breathed and kindled into earth.
The earth herself awakens to her maker
And is translated out of death to birth.
The right words come today in their right order
And every word spells freedom and release
Today the gospel crosses every border
All tongues are loosened by the Prince of Peace
Today the lost are found in His translation.
Whose mother-tongue is Love, in every nation.

The space between...

The space between...

A sermon by the Rev. Paul Canady on the Seventh Sunday of Easter.


Prayer by the Rev. Kristi Phillips

Ever-present God,

You call us on a journey to a place we do not know.

We are not where we started

We have not reached our destination.

We are not sure where we are or who we are.

This is not a comfortable place.

Be among us, we pray.

Calm our fears, save us from discouragement,

And help us stay on course.

Open our hearts to your guidance

So that our journey to this unknown place

Continues as a journey of trust.

Amen.
