RCL Reflection, 4th Sunday after Pentecost, Proper 8, Year A,
June 28, 2020
What does it mean to be church in a time of global pandemic? How do we move forward when folks can’t even agree whether COVID-19 is real or merely an elaborate hoax? Faith leaders seek advice and answers to guide congregations through uncharted waters to reopen safely and hospitably. (Photo: renee_mcgurk, Creative Commons. Thanks!)
Do Not Be Afraid: Bridging Advent and Christmas
RCL Reflection, 4th Sunday of Advent & Nativity of Our Lord, Year B, Dec. 24, 2017
This year provides the rare opportunity to bridge Advent and Christmas using the power call of the angels, “Do not be afraid.” From Mary’s radical “yes” to the first announcement of Jesus’ birth to the most unlikely of recipients, the lessons for this day offer amazing good news of hope, possibility, and transformation. Be not afraid to build this bridge! (Photo: Guillaume Speurt, Creative Commons)
