Mt Troy United Church of Christ

On Sunday, I was honored to officiate the memorial service for the VFW Post 7090, Troy Hill. I usually limit my church post to just the sermon material, and avoid posting entire services. This one is different. I posted the entire service because they read all the names of those from our area who gave their lives and service to our country. That’s truly the important part of the service, and is what Memorial Day is all about.

Jesus shows up at your door and asks about all that Easter stuff. What does that have to do with his resurrection?

Had a FANTASTIC visit, reconnection, and time of communion with one of my all time favorite people. Margaret Schmitt was one of the most gracious and welcoming congregants of Mt Troy Church when I started here over ten years ago. So good to see you, Margaret!

“Baptized into Empathy.” January 28, 2024 sermon.

People were trying to turn their lives around by going to John the Baptizer, repenting of the the ways they screwed up their lives, and seeking baptism as a fresh start. So why did Jesus line up with them? And what does that call us to as his followers today?
