RCL Reflection for September 27, 2020
God’s been focusing on community since God spoke everything into being with “let us,” not “let me.” We can’t do this difficult work on our own, but by the grace of God, the love of Christ, and the nudging of the Holy Spirit we can lean into community, converse across divides, and find common ground.

Words, Actions, and the Goodness of God
RCL Reflection, 17th Sunday after Pentecost, Year A, October 1, 2017
As people called to love God and neighbor, our sinfulness and poor choices often affect others. We are called to be faithful and good stewards of everything—our time, talent, and resources, even of one another. We are called to be people of actions and not empty words. We are called to recognize that God desires good for all of creation, and that we are partners in that ongoing effort. (Photo: highersights, Creative Commons)

Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost Year A, October 5, 2014
The parable of the vineyard is tough sledding, but even this story has stewardship implications. Read on for sermon notes, worship ideas, and time with children and youth. (Photo: DeusXFlorida, Creative Commons. Thanks!)
