    02.08.26 "Spiritual Athletes" - The Reverend Elizabeth Garnsey

    The Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany.  It’s Super Bowl Sunday and the Winter Olympics have begun. What if faith requires the same grit and discipline as elite athletics? Learn how Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount becomes our playbook for life. This isn’t about winning. It’s about practicing love. And we do it together.

    02.01.26 "Strong, Steady, & Ready: The 2026 State of the Parish Address" - The Reverend Peter F. Walsh

    The Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany. What does a healthy church really look like in 2026? In Fr. Peter’s State of the Parish Address, we hear why this moment matters, how momentum has been built over decades, and what it means to be strong, steady, and ready for what God is calling next.

    01.25.26 "Jesus: A Nobody from Nowhere" - The Reverend John Kennedy

    The Third Sunday after the Epiphany.  Jesus didn’t come with credentials, connections, or clout. He came with a look that changed lives. What happens when a “nobody from nowhere” sees you and calls you anyway? In this sermon, Fr. John invites us to drop our nets and discover the freedom found in being truly seen.

    01.18.26 "On the Jesus Side of History" - The Reverend Peter F. Walsh

    The Second Sunday after the Epiphany.  What does it mean to be on the Jesus side of history? On MLK weekend, the question before the church is not whether injustice exists, but whether Christians will align their lives, policies, and daily habits with the eternal law of love taught by Jesus of Nazareth.

    01.11.26 “The Big Smallness of Sacraments” - The Reverend Elizabeth Garnsey

    The First Sunday after the Epiphany: The Baptism of Our Lord.  What if God hides cosmic truth in the smallest, most ordinary things?  Explore how water, oil, bread, and wine shape us into people of love, courage, and justice. In a world driven by fear and force, this sermon invites us to rediscover a quieter, embodied way forward, one practiced daily at the table and in the world.

    01.04.26 "Epiphany and the Stories That Lead Us Home" - The Reverend John Kennedy

    The Second Sunday after Christmas.  What if faith isn’t about believing a fairy tale, but about recognizing a signal that keeps calling us home? In this Epiphany sermon, Fr. John explores the power of sacred storytelling, doubt and devotion, and the moments of clarity that quietly guide us through darkness toward light. Like the Magi following a star, we reflect on how faith often unfolds not as certainty, but as a journey shaped by memory, longing, and grace.

    12.28.25 “The Word Who Cannot Speak: A Christmas Sermon” - The Reverend John Kennedy

    The First Sunday after Christmas.  At Christmas, the Gospel of John proclaims a profound paradox: the Word who created the world enters it unable to speak. This sermon reflects on the Word made flesh, present among us in vulnerability and silence, from the manger to the cross. In a world that often feels anything but peaceful, Christmas insists that peace has already been given, not by escaping suffering, but by moving toward it.

    12.21.25 "Sanctuary, Not Shame" - The Reverend Elizabeth Garnsey

    The Fourth Sunday of Advent.  What if God doesn’t come through perfection, but through protection? On this Fourth Sunday of Advent, we encounter the often-overlooked courage of Joseph, a man who chose mercy over fear and sanctuary over shame. As Mary and Joseph face public judgment and social risk, we discover a God who enters the world not through moral policing, but through brave compassion. In a culture still addicted to shaming, Advent reminds us that Emmanuel means God is with us, offering shelter, not condemnation.
