Rector's Reflections
|
On Sunday we'll hear the Gospel of Mark read. We'll hear that someone is casting out demons in Jesus' name who isn't part of Jesus' own circle, and the disciples want him stopped. They appeal to Jesus in a way that is common among some religious leaders. Leaders who seem to be uneasy with God acting in ways that are outside of the expected channels and outside of their control. But Jesus refuses to see this as a threat. Jesus welcomes good being done in his name, even when it is not under his control.
Beloveds we are called as individuals and as a faith community to share Jesus' word beyond our immediate circle of family, friends and congregation. We as Jesus teaches, are called to value good being done in ways we wouldn't do it, by people we can't keep tabs on. We do not have the corner on God's grace. God's love extends to those we struggle to love and is shared by those whom we do not share religious beliefs, practices or traditions.
As part of the Episcopal branch of the Jesus movement, we define ourselves as an ongoing community of people who center our lives on Jesus and following him into loving, liberating and life-giving relationship with God, each other and creation. Together, we follow Jesus as we love God with our whole heart, soul and mind and love our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:36-40), and restore each other and all of creation to unity with God in Christ (Book of Common Prayer, p. 855).
In a world full of uncertainty, sin and brokenness, we gather in community, hear the life giving good news of Jesus Christ, to be fed and forgiven, and are sent out from All Saints to:
- WE SEEK LOVE - To know God's love, to love and be loved by others, and to love ourselves.
- WE SEEK FREEDOM From the many forces-sin, fear, oppression, and division that pull us from living as God created us to be: dignified, whole, and free.
- WE SEEK ABUNDANT LIFE - Overflowing with joy, peace, generosity, and delight. Where there is enough for all because we all share with abandon. A life of meaning, given back to God and lived for others.
- WE SEEK JESUS - The way of Jesus is the Way of Love, and that way has the power to change lives and change the world.
Seeking Together,
Bill+

God Loves You
|
Loving God, whose Son was both victim and victor, we cry to you for those who have suffered sexual abuse. Be with them in their confusion and pain. Heal the wounds of body and mind; break open the prisons of fear, self-doubt, and despair; and strengthen them to face the future with faith, hope, and courage. Reach out to them with your love, that they may be made whole in body, mind, and spirit, through the healing presence of the suffering Christ. Amen.

"Capturing the Depth of the Psalms"
|
Thursdays at 3:00 pm in the Beck Memorial Library
Live under the protection of God Most High and stay in the shadow of God All-Powerful. Then you will say to the
Lord, "You are my fortress, my place of safety; you are my God, and I trust you." The Lord will keep you safe from secret traps and deadly diseases. He will spread his wings over you and keep you secure. His faithfulness is like a shield or a city wall. Psalm 91
We will explore the spirituality of the Psalms and how they relate to th
e seasons of our lives. We will use Walter Brueggemann's model of orientation-disorientation-new orientation, that explores how the genres of the Psalms can be viewed in terms of their function. Join us as we hear anew these readings of ancient songs that illumine our human condition and spiritual longing in all their bold realism.
