    Communal Discernment 2: Listening is the Core

    Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon, Communal Discernment 2: Listening is the Core This week we continue a special series on Communal Discernment and this week Tim reminds us that God often asks questions more than God answers questions. How many questions did Jesus answer? ( 3???) How many questions did Jesus ask? (300+) Often we find that God is leading us through the questions being asked of us and by those around us. In the film, "Of Gods and Men", part of the beauty of the story about these monks facing persecution in their homeland is not just what they did, but how they decided to do it together. Can we have quiet confidence that God will speak to us in our hearts? from our Reading in James 1: 2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. And from Luke 5: 13-16 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him. Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.” Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses.  But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

    Trust Based Parenting - The Loving Heart of God

    Pastor Mako Nagasawa's sermon, Trust Based Parenting - The Loving Heart of God Join us as our friend, Mako Nagasawa from the Anastasis Center in Boston, leads us through an introduction to Trust Based Parenting. In this fascinating introduction Mako shares some stories and insights from the scriptures about our understanding of who God is, and how God relates to each of us in any situation, especially in those where we know we have made mistakes. How can we treat one another, and especially our children knowing the deep love and understanding of the heart of God towards each of us? From our scripture reading in the Gospel of Luke, People were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them; and when the disciples saw it, they sternly ordered them not to do it. But Jesus called for them and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs."

    Communal Discernment 1: Discernment as An Act of Hope

    Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon,  Communal Discernment 1: Discernment as An Act of Hope This week we begin a special series on Communal Discernment and this week Tim reminds us that praying and discerning together is actually an act of hope. In the film, "Of Gods and Men", part of the beauty of the story about these monks facing persecution in their homeland is not just what they did, but how they decided to do it together. Can we have quiet confidence that God will speak to us in our hearts? from our Reading in 1 Chronicles 16: O give thanks to the Lord, call on his name,     make known his deeds among the peoples. Sing to him, sing praises to him,     tell of all his wonderful works. Glory in his holy name;     let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Seek the Lord and his strength,     seek his face continually. Remember the wonderful works he has done,     his miracles, and the judgements he uttered, And from John 5: Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise. The Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing; and he will show him greater works than these, so that you will be astonished. Indeed, just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomsoever he wishes. The Father judges no one but has given all judgement to the Son, so that all may honour the Son just as they honour the Father. Anyone who does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent him. Very truly, I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and does not come under judgement, but has passed from death to life.

    Saint Francis: Drawing Near to All of God's Creation

    Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon,  Saint Francis: Drawing Near to All of God's Creation How do we become our true selves? How do we become who we were meant to be? One of the ways is learning to understand how we are made. In this sermon by the sea, Tim reminds us that we are made to love and serve and live in communion with God, with one another, and with all that God has made. We can become more true to ourselves by learning the beauty of humble service and of love. From our reading in Mark 18: "For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it."

    Angels: The Road is Never Empty

    Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:  Angels, The Road is Never Empty One of the wonderful things about being part of the great traditions like Anglicanism is that we don't get hung up on Angels, and we also recognize their work among us. They are a very real part of scripture, and our daily lives. Our reading from Acts 12 is definitely a unique story and a key to helping us understand the nature of angels. This week Cn Tim shares a beautiful excerpt from Dr. Jason Swan Clark along with Tim's own thoughts about our journey through this life, which we know from scripture is that we are not alone, no matter how it may seem or feel. How do we say, "yes" to the story that is going on all around us, every day. Acts 12: When he had seized Peter, he put him in prison and handed him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover. While Peter was kept in prison, the church prayed fervently to God for him. The very night before Herod was going to bring him out, Peter, bound with two chains, was sleeping between two soldiers, while guards in front of the door were keeping watch over the prison. Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him, saying, ‘Get up quickly.’ And the chains fell off his wrists. The angel said to him, ‘Fasten your belt and put on your sandals.’ He did so. Then he said to him, ‘Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.’ Peter went out and followed him; he did not realize that what was happening with the angel’s help was real; he thought he was seeing a vision. After they had passed the first and the second guard, they came before the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them of its own accord, and they went outside and walked along a lane, when suddenly the angel left him. Then Peter came to himself and said, ‘Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hands of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.’ Saturday Services in Downtown Beverly, MA Join us for Saturday 4pm evening services this season in downtown Beverly, MA.

    Creation Tide 3: Genesis 3, The Goodness of Creation

    Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:  Creation Tide 3: Genesis 3, The Goodness of Creation Creation Tide Season: One of the deeply Christ-like examples we find in the creation stories in Genesis and God's message for us to "care fo the Earth",  is in the word, "shamar". If you read the literal Hebrew mechanics, shamar (used in Gen 2:15) is the exact same word used in the famous priestly blessing: "The Lord bless you and keep [shamar] you." Translating it conceptually, it literally means to care for something protectively, the way a loving guardian keeps watch over someone. The Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew (Eastern Orthodox) proposed in 1989 that September 1st (the first day of the Orthodox Church year) should be observed as a day “of protection of the natural environment”. In 2016, Pope Francis declared 1 September an annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. This was expanded in Europe to be a season — Creationtide — going from September 1st until October 4th (the Feast of St Francis), and has been adopted in many churches around the world, including some in the Anglican Communion. Join us as Tim takes us through Genesis chapter 3. The story of this chapter of Genesis is where things go awry. But what if there's more to it than things going wrong? When we break that communion with God and Creation, what happens next? Historically, Protestants put the emphasis on the "fall", and the Orthodox Church puts the emphasis on the "expulsion", with all of the work we are committed to in Creation within our community and parish, how does this affect us? "Until Western Christianity recognizes that human use is not the only purpose for the Earth, then we will continue to have an ecological crisis" In this insightful sermon, Tim reminds us that "the way forward is actually a heart thing". Are we waiting for escape? or are we a people with a hope? The early church was motivated by hope. The proclamations of the earliest christians was "there is a human who has defeated death." A hope not an escape. The earliest christians proclaim the goodness of creation as an inherent part of declaring the glory of God. Tim also shares some fascinating stories from around the world of people working together in the goodness of creation.
