Remember Your Baptism- Rev. Wendy McCormick- Jan. 12,2025

Isaiah 43:1-7 We’ve learned together over this year that transition is not one thing, a one-day happening as one person vacates this office and another person moves in. Transition is an ongoing process of moving from one place or state to another. In a way, we are always in transition from who we are to who we are becoming. Always. And our church is in transition from what it has been and what it is now, to what God is calling it to be. Still, we are in a stretch of a couple of years of more than the usual amount of transition. It’s a lot. Enter baptism.

Ephiphany- Rev. Wendy McCormick- Jan 5,2025

Ephesians 3:1-12 "What interests me and frankly touches me more than the how and when of holiday decorating and de-decorating is the why – the deep why – I can’t help noticing how powerful it is to hang lights against the darkness and how we have that in common with our most ancient pre-Christian ancestors as well as most other world religions. However post-modern we are, we still have a kind of primal need in these shortest days of the year to literally shine lights into the darkness, to warm ourselves against the cold, to cheer ourselves amidst the bleak darkness."

Luke 1:26-35; 46-55 "We have to wonder: Who is silenced in our world? To whom might such a great reversal grant a voice in our day? And what does it mean for those who have been silenced to not just speak up but to shout and sing?"

Advent 4: Joseph

Matthew 1:18-25 "This season we wonder what it means for us to honor tradition in ways that are forward-looking, risk-taking, bold, courageous, and, above all, following the beckoning lead of God? That’s how Matthew means for us to read the Christmas story and all of the Jesus story. How do we weave a path forward that honors and serves the God we know in scripture and tradition without getting caught up in minutiae and the letter of the law, without being so fearfully tied to traditions of the past and even the present that we don’t dare look forward."

Advent 1- Zechariah- Rev. Wendy McCormick- Dec 1,2024

Luke 1:5-25, 57-64 “Do not be afraid” is the most frequently repeated message in scripture --- over 300 times --- From Genesis to Revelation; from the prophets to the psalms; from Jesus to the faithful ones who followed, the words have become a mantra across time and space. Clearly faith cannot thrive when fear is in charge. Maybe that’s why some of the most awe-inspiring expressions of this message appear in the Gospel stories leading up to Jesus’ birth. Angelic beings appear several times . . . . and each time the angels bear the same memo: do not be afraid. The primary origin story of our faith [the nativity] insists and relies on this compelling refrain: let go of your fear, and amazing things will follow. - Calling All Angels, Erin Wathen
