God is love, which means that God is relational: God is like a parent, and a child, and the love between them. And we are a part of that intimate family.

The Holy Spirit is the breath of God in us, making us one body, drawing us into the world toward the poor and hurting, who are not separate from us, but the rest of us.

When Jesus “was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight,” he left us in that in-between place where we have let go of the past but not yet seen the future. This is where the spiritual path leads us.

Due to technical difficulties, we were unable to record the sermon this week.
We apologize for whatever inconvenience this may have caused.
