Revised Common Lectionary Reflection, Trinity Sunday, Year A, June 7, 2020
What might it look like today to really be the Beloved Community, an expression of church and society that includes all people in just and equitable decisions affecting life, opportunity, and wellbeing? What kind of “Body” does Christ want us to be for him now? What is the Spirit saying to the church? (Photo: Jason Hargrove, Creative Commons)
RCL Reflection, Trinity Sunday, Year C, June 16, 2019
Instead of trying to “human-splain” the Trinity we embraced its mystery and celebrated the communion of every last molecule of creation in the divine dance of the Trinity? What if we admitted that we don’t have all the answers, that we’re a bit unsure of the way ahead, but that we’re open to whatever the Holy Spirit reveals? (Photo: Fergal Mac Eoinin, Creative Commons)

On this Sunday following the commemoration of St. Francis of Assisi, let Psalm 8 provide a stewardship and praise lens for your worship and preaching. This is a great time of year to talk about care of creation and praise of the Creator. (Photo: Tom Bjorkstedt, Creative Commons)
Revised Common Lectionary Reflection, Trinity Sunday, Year A, June 11, 2017
Holy Trinity Sunday is an excellent time to remind one another that we do not “go it alone” when we follow Jesus and live disciples in the beloved community. We are stewards of a very good gospel, yes indeed, but we are also stewards of one another. We are called into relationship, no matter how messy, difficult, or beautiful that may be on any given day.

Holy Trinity Sunday Lectionary Reflection, May 26, 2013
Instead of trying to use logic and reason to explain the concept of the Trinity, why not celebrate the love of God, the peace of Christ, and the amazing “hope that does not disappoint.” An extra helping of hope may be just what worshipers need to keep walking as disciples in this weary world.
RCL reflection for October 3, 2021.
When it comes to human relationships, nothing is quite as easy as we think it should be. For instance, divorce, which Jesus talks about in this week’s gospel. What’s Jesus saying?
