Here is today’s sermon, May 11, 2025, IV Easter, Year C. It is based on Acts 9: 36- 43, the Raising of Tabitha (Dorcas). In it I observe that death is not a part of life the is experienced individually, but that the community experiences loss, grief, or saying goodbye. Nevertheless, we may console each other with the knowledge that we may find deeper life and renewed purpose even despite grief.
