 What Are You Afraid Of?
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Apr 12, 2009
Financial fears grip people these days. Will I have enough? is the underlying question. Will I have enough to send my children to college? Will I have enough to send my children to preschool or to summer camp? Will I have enough to pay the mortgage or make the car payment or pay the minimum on the Visa bill?

Maybe... You Will See Jesus
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Mar 29, 2009
Now among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. They came to Philip…and said to him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”
I love the plain practicality of this statement. You can picture the scene. And in a slight digression, even before I hardly begin, I wonder if visitors to our church are not like these Greeks, come here to see what this church, and we who worship here, are all about. And I wonder, aren’t they, in their visiting, asking to see Jesus? What do they find here, these 21st century style Greeks? Do they see Jesus – in us, in our worship?

Where Does It Hurt?
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Mar 22, 2009
There seems to be some trouble in my mouth again. Somewhere in the lower right quadrant, a tooth hurts. It is sensitive to heat and sometimes cold and occasionally hurts when I bite down on it. I’ve spent some time trying to figure out which tooth it is and some more time telling myself that it’s all in my imagination. But, no…something isn’t right.

Winter is not over yet. There was a blizzard in Minnesota and the Dakotas last week, and we know full well that here in New Jersey, we often have snow in March.

Seeing Beyond Self
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Mar 8, 2009
Let me begin with some excerpts from a transcript of a news story that I heard on NPR’s Morning Edition last Tuesday.
With every disaster comes opportunity: that’s what two young men from Wilmington, Ohio, thought when they saw the economic devastation in their hometown, where thousands have lost their jobs.
Mark Rembert and Taylor Stuckert decided to put aside work in the Peace Corps to see what they could do to help fix their own community – and they hatched a plan to start an environmentally friendly project that they hope will put hundreds back to work.

Losing Weight
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Mar 1, 2009
Elizabeth Susan Henry, our first child, was born exactly thirty-five years ago today. You know how there are some events in your life, no matter how far back, that you can relive just by closing your eyes and thinking about them? The birth of a child is one of those events. With a glance at one another, Peter and I can recall every hour of that rather long day, especially the slight panic when the doctor said she might be twins. How long can two babies sleep in one crib? Quick, more names...For sure, even the smallest details of some events are etched in your memory forever.

To Each Is Given
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Feb 15, 2009
By now, I’m sure, most all of you have heard or seen interviews with the crew of Flight 1549, the US Airways jetliner that crash landed in the icy Hudson River just a month ago, on January 15. All 150 passengers, and the crew, were rescued.

Do It Yourself Rx
by Rev. Kathryn Henry
Feb 8, 2009
Have you noticed over the past few years how we have become a do-it-yourself society? I’m not speaking of the old, do-it-yourself handyman projects around the house. I’m talking about out there in the world.
