A Tale of Wind and Flame -- Acts 2:1-21 (Pentecost Sunday)
Pentecost is a tale of wind and flame that becomes flesh and bone before our very eyes and ears – one that we can touch and taste and experience in our very bodies. While the day of Pentecost begins in the loneliness of loss and separation, in its mighty wind and crown of flame, we see connection – God and us – us and us. No separation – a leveling of power-over, a lifting up of all we are, and a radiating out so that no one is left out.

"And the Chains Fell Off" -- Acts 12:1-10, 18-21 (7th Sunday of Easter)

No Separation, Part 2 -- Acts 10 (6th Sunday of Easter)
