Receive a Lenten Meditation each morning,
helping you to make the journey through Lent to Easter:
Dean Randy Hollerith: In order to draw closer to Christ the first thing we need is the awareness of our need for Christ.
The Rev. Andrew K. Barnett: It is precisely there, in these waters, that God calls us to build the kingdom of Shalom...
The Rev. Canon Rose Duncan: The human heart always seeks more until we encounter the source of love.
The Rev. Canon Jan Naylor Cope: Jesus calls to each one of us: “Follow me and I will make you fishers of people.”
Dean Randy Hollerith: I invite you to focus only on those spiritual activities that actually draw you closer to God.
The Rev. Canon Dana Corsello: You are the “fine wine,” but you’re not quite aged this March Monday.
The Rev. Melissa Hollerith: The church isn’t for drive by confirmations or baptisms without commitment.
The Rev. Canon Leonard Hamlin: Let’s commit to going a little further as we walk this journey of life and faith!

Dean Randy Hollerith: God wants to find a place to grow in your life, to give you the peace that passes all understanding.
The Rev. Canon Dana Corsello: The idea of someone, somewhere, seeing everything comforted me.
The Rev. Melissa Hollerith: No, the real test of his faith is measured by what he does when he isn’t terrified.
The Rev. Canon Leonard Hamlin: What step do we each need to take today as we set our faith in Jesus?
The Rev. Andrew K. Barnett: In other words, what does it mean to honor the Son, as today’s Gospel calls us to do?
The Rev. Canon Rose Duncan: Today might just be the day to realize that Jesus is ready to make a difference in our lives.
The Rev. Canon Jan Cope: Jesus was breaking the rules and the religious leaders were not happy.
Dean Randy Hollerith: I believe that love heals, and therefore the God of love can heal anything.
The Rev. Canon Dana Corsello: Can you trust that you are nothing but a vessel for the Holy Spirit?
The Rev. Melissa Hollerith: Have you had experiences that carry you through the droughts of life?
The Rev. Canon Leonard Hamlin: But when the light shines through us, it helps us and everyone around us.
The Rev. Andrew K. Barnett: We, too, should question any unholy alliance between faith and empire.
The Rev. Canon Rose Duncan: It is so easy for me to believe that I have everything in my control until I don’t ...
The Rev. Canon Jan Cope: What family argument are we leveling because we are sure we are in the right?
Dean Randy Hollerith: Even at that young age, I realized that like Herod, I too needed convincing.
The Rev. Canon Dana Corsello: And so I ask: In your life, are you trying to do well or do good?
The Rev. Melissa Hollerith: Either way, the good news is our Lord promises to keep us safe and take us to shore.
The Rev. Canon Leonard Hamlin: Has God done enough for you to believe or are you looking for another sign?
The Rev. Andrew K. Barnett: How might God change us when we open ourselves to the needs of the community ...
The Rev. Canon Rose Duncan: We eat and drink our way to life – taking in the totality of Jesus’ very being.
The Rev. Canon Jan Cope: Jesus’ followers left him when his teaching, his journey, became too challenging.
Dean Randy Hollerith: Remember that it is one thing to admire Jesus, it is quite another thing to follow him.
The Rev. Canon Dana Corsello: As I see it, all families have positive and negative qualities, histories and members ...

The Rev. Andrew K. Barnett: How will we listen for Jesus’ voice amidst the din of our public square?
The Rev. Canon Rose Duncan: Are we able to believe that God wants to bring new life to our current circumstance?
The Rev. Canon Jan Cope: What in your life needs to die in order for you to experience new life?
Dean Randy Hollerith: The goal is not to be as religious as possible, but to be as awake as possible.
The Rev. Canon Dana Corsello: I rest in the assurance that God will right everything on Easter Sunday.
The Rev. Melissa Hollerith: Do we always speak truth out of love? To follow Jesus means that we speak like Jesus.
The Rev. Canon Leonard Hamlin: There are moments when our wonder helps us to value what God is saying to us.
The Rev. Andrew K. Barnett: How might we find his strength to pray for those we love, or even for those who wound us?
The Rev. Canon Rose Duncan: There will also be times when we will deny his role in our lives, publicly or privately.
The Rev. Canon Jan Cope: How are you carrying the greatest story ever told forward in our day and our time?
Dean Randy Hollerith: Why does so much of Christianity have to hinge around the idea that the tomb was empty?
