The Sacristy

Welcome back to the Sacristy!

"What I want out of each and every one of you is a hard target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse, and dog house in that area.”  — Tommy Lee Jones as Sam Gerrard in The Fugitive

Thank you for joining us for our fourth and final meditation on Advent, and our last episode 2023! We begin this episode (sans Deacon Thom Crowe) by discussing our favorite non-Christmas, Christmas movies, coming dangerously close to transforming the Sacristy into a Tommy Lee Jones fan podcast.

Then, amidst constant complaints about how tired we are, we manage to squeak out a discussion of the propers for the Fourth Sunday of Advent. Nevertheless, we trust that you will find our discussion encouraging and edifying as you prepare to the celebrate the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We hope you've been encouraged and edified by our work! Christ be with you!

Welcome back to the Sacristy! 

It’s our third Advent Mediation for the year! Having barely recovered from the great deviled egg controversy from last week, we discuss their favorite Advent traditions in their parish ministries.

As always we close with our sermon first pass with the following texts:

III Advent

• Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-11
• 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24
• John 1:6-8,19-28
• Psalm 126
• or Canticle 15 (or 3)

We hope you've been encouraged and edified by our work! Christ be with you!

Welcome back to the Sacristy! 

It's our favorite time of year! That's right, the season of preparation and expectation called Advent. We'll chat a little bit about some specific aspects of the season we really like and then begin our season's meditation at the beginning of the Church Year. Stir up thy power among us Lord, we pray! We hope our little podcast can become part of your Advent devotions. We also pray that Deacon Thom will come back soon because without his helpful guidance he has to edit a lot more mistakes and dumb jokes to make us sound good at our jobs. 

I Advent

• Isaiah 64:1-9
• 1 Corinthians 1:3-9
• Mark 13:24-37
• Psalm 80:1-7, 16-18

We hope you've been encouraged and edified by our work! Christ be with you!

Welcome back to the Sacristy! 

Thanks for joining us in our series about the Cosmos as Temple! After we check in on each other’s Thanksgiving plans, we conclude our meditation by exploring how Jesus is the fulfillment of the Temple themes we’ve been exploring. May he guide us by his presence and find in us a mansion prepared for himself! Our prayer is that it helps begin or continue your way down another avenue for union with Jesus. We also pray that Deacon Thom will come back soon because we are a mess without him.

Welcome back to the Sacristy! 

We’re continuing a little series about the Cosmos as Temple! After some mild attempts at banter, we return to our meditation on how the universe is ordered as a resting place for God’s presence and praise. This week we’re paying some attention to the idea of sacred geography and space. As we said last week, it’s kind of a lot! Our prayer is that it helps begin or continue your way down another avenue for union with Jesus.

• Psalm 123
• 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

Welcome back to the Sacristy! After some pop culture confessions, mostly having to do with Taylor Swift, we’re starting a series of conversations about the Cosmos as Temple. It’s…a lot. And there’s a ton of stuff out there to read. You’ll hear about that in the episode! Anyway, we’re excited to talk about how God has ordered the universe as a venue for his glory and worship. After we chat about that, we’ll offer our sermon first pass.

Thank you for your prayers and support!

On this first episode of a new season of the Sacristy…. What what? New content from an obscure and dormant podcast? Truly we serve a God of wonders! Fathers Matt and David indeed return to the microphones, once thought lost but now indeed found! It would be pretty funny if we stopped recording because Fr. David lost his microphone until last week. They are joined by Deacon Thom Crowe, who is helping them stay on track as a producer.

This week, they’ll try to remember how to host a podcast, talk a little bit about what they’ve been up to for the past 3 years, and then reflect on the importance of the Communion of the Saints.

As always, we'll close with our Sermon First Pass with the Sunday lessons from the twenty second Sunday after Pentecost:
