SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, May 25, 2025

Dear Friends in Jesus –

In many communities, grateful citizens will pause to remember the mostly young men and women who gave their lives in service of our country, of freedom and democracy.

I ran across these thoughts by Tom Erich, Episcopal priest and commentator:

“We live in an era driven by fear and bigotry and exploited by greed. So deep are the dark currents that we could lose our fundamental inheritance if we fail to carry its weight.

"Memorial Day is a sobering reminder that each generation must set aside self-interest, look beyond wealth and comfort, develop an attitude of tolerance, and stand tall for the freedom and mutual respect that enables this experiment to proceed.”

We are among those who would do the above, but with an overriding mandate in service to Jesus.

Come this Sunday for Gospel singing and Gospel proclamation in the name of the one who offers peace –

In anticipation,
