  • 12th September 2010  Rev'd Canon Dawn Davis -  16th Sunday after Pentecost
    The Rev'd Canon Dawn Davis dedicated today as "Reboot Sunday" and tied a number of important initiatives into the Gospel reading. She starts talking about busy-ness and then brings that into our reduced response towards the devastation in Pakistan. Then she introduces the concept of "Reboot Sunday" where we start afresh and make strong, solid connections and allow people to restart, stay open, and be patient.

    Canon Davis concludes with a strong statement about advocating for peace and reconciliation when we let fear crowd out our love. She described Trinity's response to the pastor in Florida threatening to burn The Qur'an, and that she is tired of having other people proclaim a message under the banner of Christ that she does not recognize as hers--a message so far away from what she and we stand for.

  • 13th June 2010  Pat Desbarats & Reneč Gallant -  3rd Sunday after Pentecost
    This was to have been our outdoor service on the Rectory Lawn, but it was rained out and held in the church. The tradition at this service is for a parishioner to speak of their faith journey. This year, Patrick and Renée Desbarats discussed their individual and joint faith journeys. In February, they were challenged by Patrick's job offer at the American School in Doha, Qatar, on the Arabian Peninsula, across the Persian Gulf from Iran. They will be moving before the end of the summer. We wish them well, and look forward to seeing them when they return in the summers.

  • 16th May 2010  Rev'd Stephen Kern -  Sunday after Ascension
    The Rev'd Stephen Kern helped us understand the Feast of the Ascension. He explains how Luke's gospel and the Acts of the Apostles describe the joyous nature of this event. Stephen also quickly charts the changes in our cosmology and how that increases the complexity of our understanding of the Ascension. One of the important points is that the Ascension restores the triune God-head that was fractured by the incarnation. With Jesus sitting on the right hand of God, we have an advocate within the God-head.

    The fifth and final sermon in the 2010 Lenten series was delivered by The Rev'd Stephen Kern. He briefly summarized what we had heard over the previous four weeks and then asked, "What should we do?". One key point that he addressed was that we should not feel guilt for something we had no control over. This reiterated the theme of his 10th January 2010 sermon  where he identified "irrational guilt" as a major stumbling block to and the antithesis of becoming involved in meaningful service to the community.
