 Attention!
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Feb 5, 2012
In the drama that is your life – and in those times when there doesn’t seem to be enough drama, when each day seems to just drag on by – may you keep your attention on the under story – what Jesus came to do – the story of God’s love, forgiveness and salvation, the story of meaning and hope and promise, the story of a journey anyone of us can take.

Authorized By
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Jan 29, 2012
In baptism – celebrating anew, remembering our own, honoring others’ - we recognize and submit ourselves to God’s authority. Indeed, every time we come into this place, this sanctuary, we open ourselves to being astounded and amazed at the transformative power of the presence of Jesus Christ.
Thanks be to God!

On the Big Screen
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Jan 15, 2012
In your life situation today, who might it be who is urging you to see a higher and better vision of yourself in God’s plan for the world? A teacher, a good friend? A parent or a loving son or daughter? Who is encouraging you to come up out of some narrow and confining attitude, to overcome some impediment, to discover the joy, peace, hope and wonder that is God’s big screen?

Giving Voice
by Rev. Kathryn Henry

Soon we will celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion. There will be many words to say. I invite you to listen to yourself as you speak them. They describe the nature of our faith in Jesus Christ and our confidence in God’s active presence with us in this world from the beginning of time.

A New Year
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Jan 1, 2012
Happy New Year to you all!
On the church calendar, this is officially the First Sunday after Christmas. But it is also the Sunday before Epiphany, January 6, the date which marks the manifestation of the divine nature of Jesus to the Gentiles with the arrival of the Magi from the East to the stable in Bethlehem. And here, this morning, on this first day of the new year, 2012, it is Epiphany that we celebrate as we think about the meaning of their visit.

There Were Shepherds
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Dec 24, 2011
What is your favorite part of the Christmas story? If you could play a role in a grown-up Christmas pageant, who might you choose to be? Which figure in the Christmas tableau has the most meaning for you? Or might you choose to stare at the manger scene and let your imagination carry you out beyond the stable?

Sing Because of Love
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Dec 18, 2011
We have come to the last Sunday in Advent, 2011, and our service this morning is filled with music. Each Sunday of Advent this year, we have taken note of the troubles that beset our times – and there are so many, all kinds of troubles – and we have said: we need to sing and we need to sing now. And so we did. We sang for hope, we sang of peace and we sang with joy. But now we sing the ultimate song. Today we sing because of love, because of God’s eternal love for us

Sing With Joy
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Dec 11, 2011
The first part of real deep joy is knowing that each one of us is part of God’s great scheme of things. But we are not mere cogs in a machine. For the second part of joy is that Jesus also is part of that great scheme. Through Jesus – that human being born into the world the way each one of us is born – each individual one of us is declared to be meaningful and loved.
