Trinity Evensong -- The Trinity as Divine Conversation

In this sermon, Mother Melody reimagines the Trinity not as a theological puzzle to solve, but as a model of deep, loving conversation. By focusing on why rather than how God is three-in-one, we begin to under stand God's emphasis on relationship and dialogue. This understanding calls us to mirror that divine communication in how we speak with God and with one another, rooted always in love.

Easter 6 - Remembering Before

We welcome back our guest and friend, The Rev. Dr. George Mason. Today he explores John 14:23-29. Jesus gives his disciples then and now instructions and assurances before he leaves them to go to the Father so that they will remember and live in his way before he returns. Christians are called to live the way of Jesus without fear or worry in the midst of trying times as a witness to the peace of God.
