“…When we see how divided our nation is, what does St. Paul’s offer? Communion and belonging to every person who accepts the invitation to open their hands and hearts. When the news is filled with intractable problems, what does St. Paul’s offer? A foundation of hope and faith that equips us to love and serve God and our neighbors. When so many people live with anxiety and insecurity, what does St. Paul’s offer? The abundant peace of Christ that surpasses all understanding.”

“…Easter, then, is a not metaphor for new beginnings; it is about encountering the person who, despite every disappointment we experience with ourselves and with the world, gives us a reason to carry on.” - Esau McCaulley

“Easter proclaims that God is much bigger than us, that God’s power is not confined by human concepts of what is possible and doable. Easter invites us to let go of knowledge in order to make room for faith.”

“Whether in person or via our livestream, come hear the stories this Holy Week. Come participate in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Come and choose life. “

“The Rt. Rev. Frank Tracy Griswold III died on March 5 at the age of 85. Well done, good and faithful servant. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. “

“…it’s not necessarily God who disappoints us. Our disillusionment often arises from the unrealistic expectations we project onto God; the prayers that don’t appear to be heard or answered, the tragic events we wish God would prevent. In times of disappointment, we need eyes of faith to perceive God’s presence and promise.”

“Whether you are beginning your Lenten journey in a time of hope or despair, of joy or sorrow, of healing or suffering, of wholeness or brokenness, remember this: God sits here — wherever “here” is right now — with you. And when your “here” changes, God will be there, too.”

“…It’s when we stop striving for perfection that we find what it is we’re truly looking for: grace, acceptance, joy and love. All of the gifts God promises us in Jesus. “
