How Does a Weary World Rejoice? Belovedness…
Today we celebrate Baptism of the Lord Sunday, reflecting on our belovedness, and baptizing several children of the church.
How Does a Weary World Rejoice? Hope…
On this fourth Sunday in Advent, we explore how music and singing supported “robust hope” for those who came before us, what it does for us today and how those tunes and melodies will support and transform generations still to come.
How Does a Weary World Rejoice? Amazed…
Can we grow in our capacity to be amazed and to experience awe? How are awe and amazement related to joy?
How Does a Weary World Rejoice? Connect…
Today on the second Sunday of Advent, we continue to contemplate the notion of how a weary world rejoices. What is happiness? What is joy and where does it come from? What part does connection with others play in joy?
How Does a Weary World Rejoice? Acknowledge…
What is joy? How do we receive it? Is it even possible in these difficult times? How does joy change us? How does it change the world?

At Peace

Learning and Living
This week our Gospel reading draws our attention to commandments that are central to our Christian faith… the commandments to love God and our neighbor as our self.
God Behind It All
This Laity Sunday, we recognize that the majority of folks in ministry are lay people, sharing God’s light and love in all kinds of amazing ways!
