1st Sunday after Pentecost, June 7th, 2020

Good morning! I look forward to our worship this morning. We celebrate communion this morning. So before you log onto Zoom, prepare a table for yourself. Use elements local to your home. Prepare a space and something for bread, and something for a cup. We will trust God to help us make it a meaningful time and to experience Christ in our communion time.

7th Sunday of Easter, May 24th, 2020

An early Christian Mosaic.

Ancient Greeks believed that the flesh of peafowl did not decay after death, and so it became a symbol of immortality. This symbolism was adopted by early Christianity, and thus many early Christian paintings and mosaics show the peacock. ... In Christian iconography the peacock is often depicted next to the Tree of Life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_symbolism

Musical Reflection: Dean Stalnaker - “Happy Land”

"There Is a Happy Land" by Andrew Young (1838)

1. There is a happy land, far, far away,
   Where saints in glory stand, bright, bright as day;
   Oh, how they sweetly sing, worthy is our Savior King,
   Loud let His praises ring, praise, praise for aye.

2. Bright, in that happy land, beams every eye;
   Kept by a Father’s hand, love cannot die;
   Oh, then to glory run; be a crown and kingdom won;
   And, bright, above the sun, we reign for aye.

2nd Sunday of Easter, April 19th, 2020

Christ shows himself to Thomas by Rowan and Irene LeCompte, at the Resurrection Chapel of the Washington National Cathedral.

Good morning, Calvary and visitors,

We continue the celebration of Christ’s resurrection with the story of Thomas. A question for you to ponder: do doubts and questions make for a weaker faith or a strong one? Do they pull you away from Christ and the faith journey, or deeper into it?
