 Way Out
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Mar 14, 2010
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to Jesus. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling...
Why did we read those first two verses of Luke’s Chapter 15? Why didn’t we skip them and get on with the story we call the Parable of the Prodigal Son? We know that story well and we love to hear it again; it has such a happy ending.

The Disciple-Making Church
by Adam Gorman
Feb 28, 2010
The scripture reading for today focuses on Paul’s faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and Paul’s request for the Philippians to follow him in that faith. He writes, “Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.” His command is simple, do not go your own way but imitate him.

Sanctuary Light
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Feb 14, 2010
People often ask about the round stained glass windows in this church – the one on the far wall in Fellowship Hall and the one just like it at the back of the sanctuary up in the balcony. They appear to be the Star of David, and so, they wonder, what is a Jewish symbol doing in a Christian church? Well, I say, Christianity does have its roots in Judaism...but actually, I think these windows are of two equilateral triangles, and since at least the 4th century, the triangle has represented the Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

There's No Excuse
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Jan 31, 2010
Do you remember the Old Testament story in Exodus of Moses and the burning bush? Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro...he led his flock beyond the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed...and God called to Moses out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” (Ex. 3: 1-4) Then ensued the story of how God told Moses that he would be the one to lead the people of Israel out of the miserable slavery they were enduring in Egypt.

Upon My Word
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Jan 24, 2010
“Upon My Word” is the title of today’s sermon. My mother used to use that phrase as a threat. “Upon my word, Kathy” she would say, often shaking her finger; and I knew that I’d better do whatever it was she was telling me to do or else there would be some consequence, and I probably wouldn’t like it. And I was a good girl...

To You, With Love, From the Holy Spirit
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Jan 17, 2010
My dear friend Trinka Noble, the writer of children’s books, gave me a lovely Christmas present this year. On a delicate silver chain, she had strung a small blue-gray mussel shell and laying softly inside the shell is an opalescent stone, worn rounded and smooth by tumbling in running water, over many years. The stone is known as a Cape May diamond.
