2023 preaching

With-ness

Preaching at Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbia, Mo, was my first time leading worship in a UU congregation. I offered a reflection on a ministry of presence, especially how it related to current justice issues in Missouri. The reading was a Ross Gay poem.

When the Bread Breaks

When Katie asked me to preach at Christian Temple (Disciples of Christ) in Catonsville, Md, I asked if I could take a risk. Anyone who knows Katie knows that she said, undoubtedly, yes! This sermon re-tells the Emmaus story (Luke 24:13-35) in the second person and does not follow my general preaching conventions. This was the Third Sunday of Easter on April 23, 2023,

A Tale of Two Tombs

This sermon on John 20:19-31 was preached at Mount Auburn Presbyterian Church on the Second Sunday of Easter on April 16, 2023.

Awe, Mystery & Healing

I preached at First United Presbyterian Church in Bellefontaine, Ohio, on February 18, 2023. It was Transfiguration Sunday and the text was Matthew 17:1-9.
