Proclamation! For the Third Sunday of Advent, Sunday, 15 December 2024

Reverend Shelley McVea proposes the advent challenge, that we trust in the Lord, and, even harder, that we trust in joy.  Joy is a big ask, but it is one of the challenges of advent.

Proclamation! For the 16th Sunday after Pentecost, Sunday 8 September 2024
Reverend Shelley McVea takes us through a gospel story where Jesus does an unlikely thing, he meets a woman whom he does not want to heal.  He has gone to a remote place to take some time away from his ministry.  But this woman is in despair over her daughter’s illness, and she begs Jesus for healing.

Proclamation! For the 15th Sunday after Pentecost, Sunday 1 September 2024

Who Do You Say I Am? 

Today we welcome a special guest preacher, David Alenskis, who engages with Mark’s gospel and asks, how does Jesus ask those around him to re-examine their values?  Jesus is asked why he lets his disciples eat without washing their hands in the properly designated way.  Jesus challenges the traditions of the ancestors and focuses on the inner life of a person, “what comes out of us is more important than what goes into us.”

Proclamation! For the 12th Sunday after Pentecost, Sunday 11 August 2024
While Reverend Shelley enjoys a summer break, we are joined today by the Reverend Catherine Sider Hamilton.  Reverend Catherine tells us the story of an uprising of a son against his own father, and the battle in which that son, Absalom, was killed.  Even though it was an uprising against his own leadership, David wept and cried aloud, “O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!”

Proclamation! For the 10th Sunday after Pentecost, Sunday 28 July 2024
While Reverend Shelley enjoys a summer break, Warden Gillian Eley takes to the pulpit to share an inspirational message on the grounding and deepening power of prayer.  In Paul’s letter to the Ephesians (3:14-21), Gillian uncovers a love letter to a community that Paul is urging to be transformed through the power of prayer.  Paul describes how he kneels when he prays because he is overwhelmed and humbled in the presence of the love of Christ.

Proclamation! For the 7th Sunday after Pentecost, Sunday 7 July 2024

Boast of my Weaknesses
Despite the many challenges that Paul faced, Reverend Shelley McVea explains how Paul could still say that he will “boast of his weaknesses” because he experienced the power  of God to transform his sufferings and enabling him to be content.
