John 13:31-35When [Judas] had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will glorify him at once.“Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me and, as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, ‘where I am going you cannot come.' I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” If you've been around and paying attention, you know we've been talking about what it would/could/should/might look like to live on the other side of Easter whenever we fully embrace and engage the good of news that brings us here, still, so many days after the Big Day of Easter's resurrection celebration. Again, this is the cornerstone of our faith, the joy of which is meant to linger … to last … to perpetually motivate and inspire and move us to live differently because God has done a new thing with Easter's resurrection to new life.Last week, we shared the good news about having paid off our mortgage and about what that will mean for our capacity to give differently to ministries outside of ourselves, through what we're now calling our “Building and Outreach Fund.” For those of you who weren't here, the short of the long is that, because we no longer have a mortgage to pay, we'll be able to transform those offerings into mission and outreach efforts to do God's work out there in the world.Well, because next week is our annual congregational meeting and because we'll be making our financial commitments to the General Fund along with our offerings of Time and Talent, I want to talk about the other side of the same coin when it comes to our financial stewardship around here – the money we give and use for our operational budget at Cross of Grace.Don't start snoring yet. And, like I said the first week of this sermon series, if you're a guest, or new around here, please don't tune out or log off or leave, just yet, either. I realize this may feel very personal and contextual and unique to our particular ministry at Cross of Grace – like I'm “talking shop” in a way that may not concern you, just yet, if ever. But I believe that if what we're up to in this little corner of God's Kingdom is faithful in any way, it would/could/should – it might just – speak to all of us about what God is up to in the world around us.And I want to start by counting our blessings with a sincere sense of gratitude:I'm grateful for the other side of Easter – and how that feels like we're also on the other side of the pandemic. I know it still lingers. I know we just reached a milestone of deaths – just in our own country. I know there are still threats of variants and surges and all that that could entail. But I remain grateful for the spirit of patience, understanding, flexibility, willingness to try new things and mostly the love for one another Jesus was talking about in this morning's Gospel reading that it took to endure the last couple of years around here – all the masks, and social distancing, online worship, and missed ministry opportunities, I mean.I'm grateful for the Holy Conversations Gayle Beebe and our Council facilitated, giving us the opportunity to share our dreams and desires with one another in honest, open, faithful ways about all of that.I'm grateful for all we learned along the way, too, about how to do church and worship differently – that we offer online worship, not just on Sunday morning, but for weddings and funerals, too – and I'm grateful that Stephen Jordan helps make that happen so faithfully.I'm grateful for our midweek “Lenten Lament” worship series that surprised me, honestly, with how deeply meaningful it was for so many of us.I'm grateful for those “Age-to-Age” interviews between our Grace Quest kids and some of you older Partners in Mission. Those conversations were fun and beautiful and you can still find them on our YouTube page if you haven't seen them yet.I'm grateful for the four young women who affirmed their faith here last Sunday – Lilly, Faith, Saydie, and Ginny.I'm grateful for the eight young people who celebrated their First Communion on Maundy Thursday – Marloe, Nathan, Brogan, Auggie, Jericho, Mathew, Penelope and Elaine.I'm grateful for the high school seniors, getting ready to graduate, who've found a home here – several who've been around long enough, now, to have celebrated their baptism, their First Communion, and their Confirmation here, too – Cassie, Abby, Caleb, Maggie, Jackson, Eli, Katie, Ben, Alaina, Grace, Miles, Alyse.I'm grateful for the 14 Stephen Ministers we commissioned a couple weeks ago and for those who are prayerfully agreeing to engage that ministry with them in the days ahead.I'm grateful for all the outside groups who call this place home from one week to the next – the softball and baseball teams, the Boy Scout troops, the AA meetings, 4-H groups, the hundreds of voters who were here a couple weeks ago, and more.I'm grateful for the families who receive food from our pantry month after month – and for the opportunity we give to people in our community to help stock it and serve in that way.I'm grateful to be part of a denomination that empowers and ordains women and that, as a congregation, we understand the importance of having women preach, teach and lead however and whenever we get the chance.I'm grateful for a Church Council and a Congregation that compensates their Pastor and staff well and generously, honoring the Biblical notion that “the laborer deserves to be paid.”I'm grateful to be a Pastor, from a congregation like ours, who gets called to lead discussions on race and diversity and justice and hospitality with leaders and administrators in our schools.I'm grateful for the conversations I've had with people in our neck of the woods lately, surprising them with the good news that they can be LGBTQ – or any other letter of the alphabet or any color of that rainbow – and be loved and welcomed and celebrated by a Pastor and by people in a church like ours.All of that is to say that all of this is the kind of ministry our General Fund allows us to accomplish at Cross of Grace. Some of what we do can be found in other ways and places out there in the world. But a lot of what we do – and some of the most important stuff we do – and the spirit of grace upon grace upon grace with which we do it – is utterly unique in Hancock County – the wide, welcome I mean; the women in ministry, I mean; the open communion table, I mean.And all of it is faithful to what we hear over and over and over again, in Scripture. Peter is talking about “grace upon grace” when he's convincing the others, in that Acts 11 reading we just heard – that there is no distinction between Jews and Gentiles – or any of God's children for that matter. We try really hard to be like Peter, by asking “who are we to hinder the kind of love and grace God is trying to let loose in the world?”And Jesus is saying the same when he tells the disciples to love one another the way God has already loved them – without limits, without strings, without condition, in spite of their sins, in the face of whatever is to come, for the sake of the whole wide world.See, I know that talking about our commitments to the General Fund isn't as sexy or as fun, on its face, as talking about the Building Fund – or even the Building and Outreach Fund, with all of the percentages we'll give away “here” or the dollar amounts we'll be able to share “there.” I don't have charts and graphs to share this week, like I did last Sunday.And I'm afraid that when there aren't bricks and mortar to see and feel, or when we can't attach a dollar amount to the ministry of love shared at a funeral service or to the wide-welcome extended by way of a phone call or counseling session in my office, or to the public witness of being open and affirming and welcoming to all of God's people, that we forget or just don't know about the kind of grace that gets shared around here week in and week out. You can't capture all of that with a pie chart or with an income and expense report.So please consider all of that in the days ahead – and as you pray about what your General Fund commitment will be next Sunday. And please pray, too, about if and where and how you're going to fill out that Time and Talent sheet for the coming year. Cleaning the building isn't sexy, either. But if it makes one guest feel welcome and safe enough to come back – it matters. Working in the nursery is a sacrifice, I get it. But if it takes care of a child and makes room for a parent to worship in peace and quiet for a change – it is a gift of grace. Mowing the lawn… counting the offering… teaching Grace Quest… serving in any way is a chance to have a stake in what we're up to around here.It's all about not hindering what God is up to… It's all about loving one another the way God has already loved you… It's about loving our neighbors the way we have been so loved, ourselves… And it's about sharing grace upon grace upon grace, in the name of Jesus, crucified and risen for you, for me, for the sake of the world that God so loves.Amen

I am a minimalist.I'm not afraid to admit it. Loud and proud. I'm not ashamed. Not wanting to play to gender stereotypes, I do however wonder if my apartment is decorated in the sparse way in which only a man without a family is happy to live.Truth be told, I just don't buy stuff. I prefer to spend my money on experiences than things. If you've been listening to my show for a while, you'll know it took me a year or two to even buy a couch. I had a couple of armchairs, I figured. That was plenty. After all, you can only park your butt in one place at once!Anyway, nothing brings your interior design choices under close scrutiny like a visit from the property stagers. In anticipation for maybe wanting a bit more space for kids in the future – don't get too excited yet!! – I've put my apartment on the market. And knowing that my tastes aren't everyone's, I got the property stagers over for a bit of a zhoosh.It must be a delicate business being a property stager. Think about it. You're brought into people's homes to make things look a bit nicer, and the harder you work to improve a space, the more you're inadvertently telling the client that actually they don't have very good taste. A good eye is important. But tact, is even more so.My place is partially staged which means it wasn't a total bombsite beforehand, but I was frankly stunned when I saw the bags of stuff the stagers were bringing in.“Yeeeeah,” said the woman in charge.“Usually we're decluttering places, but to be honest, at your place it's kind of the opposite.”Huh.What can I tell you?Well, apparently dried flowers are in. They really are quite beautiful actually, and given I've managed to nurse a nice collection of house plants, there are now more pots and vases at my place than any other point in my life.What else? Well, this is going to shock you: coffee tables are actually fantastic. I've not owned a coffee table for more than a decade! Turns out there's a reason they're popular. Sometimes you don't know what you're missing until it's sitting in the middle of your living room with a TV remote and a book on Scandanavian architecture.But here's the big takeaway for me: cushions. What the hell? I used to have two cushions. I thought that was bordering on excessive. Now, I have sixteen. Sixteen in a two bedroom apartment! I'm surprised there's room to move! And what are you supposed to do with the cushions on your bed when it comes time to sleep? Just throw them on the ground? Is that what people do? Just chuck ‘em on the ground?Yes, for those of us whose interior choices have always tended towards the hard end of ‘less is more,' it can be a confronting experience to have someone with taste come in and re-jig your home. The thing that shocked this minimalist the most about the dried flowers and the cushions and the coffee table?I don't even know who I am anymore: It looks really, really good.

Peter said... “Therefore, it is necessary that one of the men who accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus came and went among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day on which he was taken up from us, become with us a witness to his resurrection.”  So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias.  Then they prayed, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in this apostolic ministry from which Judas turned away to go to his own place.”  Then they gave lots to them, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was counted with the Eleven Apostles.  Acts 1:21–26And with that we have the first new bishop!  The Feast of St. Matthias is a celebration of the continuation of the apostolic ministry.  By honoring St. Matthias we honor the fact that Jesus enabled His first Apostles to pass on the sacred power of their ordination to others as their successors.  St. Matthias took the place of Judas.  And as the Church continued to grow, there were others picked and given the grace of ordination as bishops.  Today, every one of our bishops has a direct line of succession to one or more of the Apostles.  This unbroken succession is our direct connection to the priestly ministry of Jesus as it is passed on to the Church.What a gift this is!  It's true that not every bishop or priest is a saint.  We are all quite aware of that.  But it is also true that every bishop and priest shares in the wonderful gift of Christ's priestly ministry.  And this ministry is not for them, it's for you.  Jesus desired that He continue His ministry in a concrete, personal and human way.  He desired that He would be present at every Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion.  He desired to personally be there administering these graces to His people.  And He is there, through the ministry of the bishop or priest.  The key is to see Christ in that ministry.  Every priest or bishop is a unique representation of Christ in his own way.  They each reflect Christ in their human personality and holiness.  But, more importantly, they represent Christ by acting in His very person.  Jesus speaks His words of absolution and consecration through them.  So we need to see beyond the surface and see Christ Jesus.  This is entirely possible if we approach God's ministers in faith.Reflect, today, upon the way you approach God's priests and bishops.  How do you speak about them?  Do you seek Christ in them?  Are you open to Christ ministering through them?  The apostolic ministry in which they share is a true gift from Christ and must be loved and accepted as if we were accepting Christ Himself...because that's exactly what we are doing.Lord, thank You for the gift of your ordained ministers.  Thank you for the bishop and for all the priests who have ministered Your Word and Sacraments to me.  I pray for them today that they may continue to be holy instruments of Your love.  Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2022 My Catholic Life!

At 12 years old, every good Catholic boy has his Confirmation; the ceremony in which he receives the Holy Spirit and becomes a Catholic man.

We discuss the direct and indirect implications of this move by the conservative court.

In this week's episode, Fr. O'Brien and Fr. Kerry talk about the epic and giant “Blue Bow”, the wonderfulness of the many sacraments celebrated by the two parishes of Stillwater, reminiscing about their First Holy Communion and Confirmation, and the significant importance of each to our faith life.

Confirmation has come and gone but now the real work begins!   As a Christian, it is important to be faithful to God. It is one thing to merely believe in Him, but another to be faithful to Him. When we are genuinely faithful to God, this molds the way we live.   It's easy to slip into the mentality of doubt and cynicism. We live in a broken world, and we may have gone through agonizing encounters that cause us to lose our trust in others. Our loyalty in our relationships here on Earth and truly loving others is one example of faithfulness to God.   Faithfulness requires us to submit our ways to God. It comes from a place of realizing that we need a Savior and that He is in control of our lives since we are still connected to the vine!   #jesus​ #bible​ #faith​ #God​ #christianliving​ #everythingchristian​   What is faith? It's more than just information. It's life. It can be easy to go to Church on Sunday to check the box and then move on with the rest of your life. But Jesus calls us to live out our faith in all that we do.   So, how do you take what you hear on Sunday and live it out in your family and in your community? Through reflection and practice. At PewTalk Podcast, we reflect on God's word and give practical starting points to live out your faith in your family and in your community.   DONATE@ www.trinityfremont/donate Website: www.trinityfremont.com Email: trinityfremontpodcast@gmail.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fremonttrinity Twitter: www.twitter.com/pewtalkpodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCJwAwxUWD2uG_vFOOpvxAQ

from John 1:12-13 The wonder…the curiosity…the faithfulness of children shows up throughout Scripture. Jesus welcomed children and challenged His disciples to become more childlike if they hoped to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. What can we learn from children about following Jesus? What can we learn from children about what it means to be faithful? … Continue reading (May 1, 2022-Combined Confirmation Service) “And a Little Child Shall Lead Them: Claim Your Inheritance” →

Pastor Katy preaches on this Easter Sunday when we celebrate Confirmation and Children, Youth, and Family Ministries. You are invited to join us for worship Sunday mornings in person at 8:00, 9:30, & 11:00 am or online livestreaming at 9:30 am.

Howdy ya'll!  I talk about the Sacraments of Initiation today (Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion).  There is some basic theology here, along with some pastoral experiences.  With the question of restored order (putting Confirmation before First Holy Communion), the fact that Confirmation provides the basic capacity for perfect spiritual activity leads me to like the idea of doing Confirmation before the most perfect spiritual activity (reception of Holy Communion).  I don't think it's a complicated argument, and certainly we have many cultural complications.  

Atheists say religion is the cause of the most war and violence in thew world. But this isn't true. Atheism is the greatest cause of violence and atrocities.

We're coming up on the third Sunday of Easter already, and in our scriptures and our worship, Resurrection is real! In Paige's congregation we explore the sacramental moment that is Confirmation, as we celebrate and nurture the gifts of the Spirit that make the Church the Church. And in Aaron's congregation, it is healing and hope, in the story of Christ's reconciliation with Peter by the lakeside. Join us as we continue to talk about the ways we embody our faith, live it out, and witness to the love of God.

Episode 259 is about finding your authentic self. Dr. John Demartini grew up with dyslexia, a learning disability that prevented him from reading and writing. This sadly gave him a hard time pursuing his dreams. Disbelieved by his teachers and parents, he vowed to overcome his condition and learn the secret to happiness: He believed in himself and stopped comparing himself to others. With the unconditional love of his mother and the life lessons his father taught him, this helped him catapult his way to success. We didn't get to choose the life we live but we get to choose what to make out of it and that's what Dr John Demaritini did. In this episode, he will teach you how to have their spiritual freedom back and achieve their highest potential. We tend to overemphasize the achievements of others while belittling our own. There is a way out of this dilemma. Our Men on Purpose community got out of this cycle and they want to help you find your freedom.

Seth and Sean react to the big thing Nick Caserio said yesterday in his press conference: there aren't a lot of teams that want the 3rd pick. 

Former Sen. Doug Jones, Democrat of Alabama, was the White House's pick to navigate Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson through the Senate confirmation process. He sits down with Major to explain the strategy that led to the soon-to-be Justice Jackson to receive bipartisan support. Jones also offers an - actual - conspiracy theory on why Republicans attacked Judge Jackson for her child pornography sentencing record. Plus, Jones weighs in on bleak prospects for Democrats on the ballot this November and says the president ought to do more to project a winning message.

Grace [charis] is first and foremost the gift of the Spirit who justifies and sanctifies us. But grace also includes the gifts [charismata] that the Spirit grants us to associate us with his work, to enable us to collaborate in the salvation of others and in the growth of the Body of Christ, the Church. There are sacramental graces, gifts proper to the different sacraments. There are furthermore special graces, also called charisms after the Greek term used by St. Paul and meaning "favor," "gratuitous gift," "benefit." Whatever their character - sometimes it is extraordinary, such as the gift of miracles or of tongues - charisms are oriented toward sanctifying grace and are intended for the common good of the Church. They are at the service of charity which builds up the Church (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2003).    Sign up here.
