2026/09/21

This is the 2nd week of our sermon series at RJC on prayer, drawing from the brilliant book by Anne Lamott entitled Help Thanks Wow: Three Essential Prayers. Each week will be centering on a different way that we pray in our worship services but also how we pray in similar ways in our “outside of the church” prayer lives. This week is centering on confession (help), assurance of forgiveness (thanks), and the freedom that brings in how we live (wow). Please note two things in the audio…first,

Room at the Table - See Something, Say Something

2026/06/22

This message is the third in our “Room at the Table” series. The first two were messages that were done in a way that was not conducive to sharing in a traditional audio format - they were more conversational and interactive. This week, based on the story in Luke 7:36-50 - the story of the unnamed woman anointing Jesus’ feet at the home of the Pharisee named Simon. It begins with “clearing some misconceptions” then the reading by our liturgist and then the sermon in full. As I note at one point,

We have moved into symbols now with our stained glass windows and this week, we centered on two windows with symbols of the Jewish faith and focused on the Jewish faith of Jesus. Our scriptures came from Luke 3 and 4 - the baptism and the temptation of Jesus but could have included many more that showed clearly the Jewish faith of Jesus. A bit about subscribing.
