RCL Reflection for the 2nd Sunday after the Epiphany, Year C, Jan. 20, 2019
Jesus’ first miracle came through an affirmation of his mother’s trust and faith in who he really is. She knew he could do what she asked, and she did not hesitate. Maybe the church needs a little “motherly intervention” today to jump start our gifts for ministry and mission. (Photo; Pieter Bruegel, Art in the Christian Tradition, Creative Commons)
Transfiguration Sunday, Narrative Lectionary, Year 3, February 26, 2017
Yes, we may feel awkward. We may even be terrified. We may not have it “all together” or feel eloquent in our presentation, but that doesn’t matter. We can act boldly in the beautiful freedom of God’s love, trusting that this is enough and that God goes with us–always. That, dear friends, is news worth sharing and news worth remembering every time you proclaim the gospel or share your faith. (Photo: Clive Varley, Creative Commons)
Second Sunday after Epiphany, Year C, January 17, 2016
We may not be in exile ourselves, but we can welcome the refugee and open our arms to the stranger. We may not feel forsaken, but we can hold out our hand to the one who is and offer friendship and support. (Photo: Kelly Short, Creative Commons)
