Happy Anniversary!

Today marks our one-year anniversary, and I’m delighted to say that the past twelve months have been a rewarding and growth-filled experience for me.  I hope they have been for you!

Last Saturday, the Executive Committee of the Cabinet, the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee and I met for a mutual evaluation of our first year together and had a very productive conversation.  We spoke of the energy and excitement that now fill our pews, talked about the ways in

Greetings~

I hope to see many of you tomorrow evening at the Interfaith Concert of Joyous Chant, hosted by our congregation and co-sponsored by the 9/11 Unity Walk and Interfaith Gatherings.  I’ll be leading the participatory session of Christian chant (which I trust will be uplifting!), and Mandira Sarkar will be leading the session of Kirtan (Hindu chant), which should send your spirits soaring!

There are so many different ways to talk about God and to make meaning of our

Hooray for rain!  Our parched earth needed it, so I’m grateful for every drop.  For more thoughts on our relationship with the earth (and all her creatures), please join me this Sunday for an Earth Week service.  Since my primary area of study in Divinity School was “Women, Ecology & Religion,” I have a few things to say… J

As always, we have plenty going on at Cleveland Park Church, and I’m going to use this week’s Pastor’s Page

April 11, 2012

Easter Greetings~

As I said last Sunday, Easter is not just a day—it’s a season!  And we’ll be celebrating this season from now until Pentecost (May 27th).  Throughout, I’ll highlight different Easter themes.
This coming Sunday, my sermon will be titled, Practice Resurrection, with many thanks to the “farmer poet,” Wendell Berry, for his poem with that ending.  I encourage you to read it (and have copied it below).  For we’re meant not only to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus—but

Greetings~

I’ve been thinking a lot about connections lately. As we continue our walk on the Lenten road toward Calvary, listening for God’s call, honoring our covenants, and facing our fears (all themes from my various Lenten sermons), it’s becoming more and more clear to me that we’re not meant to do any of this alone. Ekklesia, or church, is all about community, and the more connected we are, the more courage and strength we’ll have to
