"Might we also be found clinging to a little bit of hope *against* hope; to an insistent, persistent, wiggly, wormy kind of hope. A gut-punching body-mind-soul kind of hope that will not go away. For this hope is in the Christ; in the one who makes us sing." We were so thrilled the Rev. Cara Meredith preached with us the day after her ordination to the diaconate. Watch the full sermon here:

"In this time when so many are seeking to overcome our humanity, may we have the courage and faith and compassion to embrace our own magnificence; our humanity. And rebuild our cities with relationships that grow from humanity. May we love our neighbors as ourselves, and may that be good news for a change." Watch Rev. Scott's Trinity Sunday sermon.

"So it stands to reason that Pentecost didn’t come sounding like a three-hour monotone lecture from the heavens, complete with accompanying slide deck. It came like a party, spilling out into the streets. Sound and visual effects. Shouting and singing and, I have to believe, laughter." Watch Rev. Kathleen's sermon for the Day of Pentecost.

"So dear friends, keep loving God and each other, and as you do, you'll realize quite unexpectedly that you haven't been abandoned. That's when you'll discover that God, unbeknownst to you, has ben walking with us every stop of the way, like on the Road to Emmaus, setting your hearts on fire." Watch the Rev. Pamela Cranston's sermon for the Sixth Sunday of Easter.
