In the sixth chapter of John, we hear the famous story of Jesus feeding five thousand people – once a young man has contributed five loaves and two fish. It didn’t seem like much, but it made a difference. Here’s a transcript: I’m thinking about the sixth chapter of John’s Gospel today (John 6:1-21). It […]
July 22, 2018 Ninth Sunday after Pentecost Ephesians 2:11-22 British author L. P. Hartley opened his novel The Go-Between with these words: “The past is a foreign country. They do things differently there.” And I would guess that you had some sense of the foreignness of the first century as Gloria read these words from […]
The Board of Trustees has scheduled the next Service Day for Saturday, July 21 from 9 am to noon. Sprucing up our church is a form of worship and giving thanks, and provides opportunities for fellowship, not to mention the satisfying glow you will carry for the rest of the day knowing that you helped […]
July 3, 2018 “And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13) Love may be the greatest (and the greatest challenge), but faith and hope may be the virtues of our day. A few years ago, social, religious, and political leaders began circulating short videos […]
Jesus wasn’t well received in his home town of Nazareth. He was amazed by their unbelief. It prompted him to greater activity, not less: he dispatched his closest friends to teach, to heal, and to build up the Realm of God. Here’s a transcript: I’m thinking about the sixth chapter of Mark (Mark 6:1-13), in […]
July 1, 2018 Sixth Sunday after Pentecost Mark 5:21-43 If there is one thing I could use in my life right now, it’s healing. To start with the most trivial, I’m pleased to say that I’m getting over this cough I’ve had, but this has been one stubborn little virus, and I know a number […]

On the 2nd Tuesday of June, the 12th, we will be restarting the Caregivers’ Support Group which went on hiatus when our resource person, Chris Ridley, moved to the mainland. Patrick Toal, the Big Island Regional Coordinator for the Alzheimer’s Association, will be our new resource person. Anyone who is caregiving or has an interest […]
Twice in Mark 5:21-43, Jesus heals when people think he can’t. A woman touches him in a crowd – and she’s healed. A child who has died rises again to life. Here’s a transcript: I’m thinking about the fifth chapter of Mark (Mark 5:21-43), today, in which a woman found healing beyond expectation simply […]
June 24, 2018 Fifth Sunday after Pentecost Mark 4:35-41 The power of nature can be, probably always should be, a scary thing: something to stimulate the fear that becomes caution, consideration, respect. The prayer of Breton fishermen could be echoed by ocean voyagers of every sea and every language: “O God, thy sea is so […]
