11th Sunday after Pentecost 8/8/21

I am excited because this Sunday, we continue to learn about the “Bread of Life” and how eating this bread gives us eternal life. That is right; Jesus said that the bread He gives for the life of the world is his flesh, and whoever eats this bread has eternal life and will be raised…

Fourth Sunday After Pentecost – 6/20/21

On this 4th Sunday after Pentecost, we hear Jesus utter the words, “Peace! Be Still!” – and wind & waves are reduced to a calm, giving hope to disciples being rocked in their little boat.
