What Will It Cost You?
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Sep 21, 2008
The week just past was a scary economic nightmare. We found out that many of the financial houses we had come to rely upon were built on sand. The rains came down and the floods came up, and you know what happened next: collapse.

Shut Down and Reboot
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Sep 14, 2008
Some of you are very, very good with computers and others of you haven’t a clue how to make one work. Most of us, including me, fall somewhere in between. We can order online, send emails, Google, keep track of our banking or word process with a fair amount of confidence. But…if something goes wrong and the computer fails to perform, well, we’re finished for the day.

Beginnings of Time
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Sep 7, 2008
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron (his brother) in the land of Egypt: This month shall mark for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you.
These words, which Dan just read a few minutes ago from the book of Exodus, lead us into the passage which institutes the Jewish Passover, the seminal event in Jewish history when God delivered the people from slavery in Egypt. These words also establish the beginning of the Jewish liturgical year, literally Rosh Hashanah or “head of the year.”

Stepping Out in Faith
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Aug 11, 2008

Notice how it is angled up along a central spine that runs front to back and also how the decorative wooden supports spaced along the ceiling follow the same line.
Imagine this sanctuary turned upside down to rest upon the roof.
You can see that it would be like a huge boat and the wooden supports would suggest the ribs of the boat’s hull.

The Cookie Effect
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Jul 28, 2008
Maybe some of you have heard of a phenomenon called the butterfly effect. The butterfly effect is a term used in chaos theory, in physics, to describe how tiny variations in large, complex systems can affect the long term and further out behavior of the system. It refers to the idea that the gentle flutter of a butterfly’s wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that could have significant repercussions on wind strength and movements throughout the weather systems of the world. The title of one of the first scientific papers on this idea was “Does the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas?”
