“Almighty God, whose blessed Son our Savior Jesus Christ ascended far above all heavens that he might fill all things: Mercifully give us faith to perceive that, according to his promise, he abides with his Church on earth, even to the end of the…
I’m looking forward to Youth Sunday at our 10:30 a.m. service this week. We will celebrate all the young people at our Cathedral and, especially, all those who will be graduating from any school this year (young and young at heart alike!). Thank you…
I had a great trip to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada for the Deans Conference, but it is always nice to come home. It was good to be with so many Deans and spouses/partners from across the US and Canada who share the same passion for…
I hope everyone had the opportunity to see some portion of the solar eclipse this past Monday. I realize we were not in the path of totality, but it was still fascinating to me to look through my special glasses and see at least…
Alleluia, Christ is Risen! It was truly wonderful to be with all of you who came to worship during Holy Week and Easter. I cannot thank everyone enough for all your time and effort at making Holy Week and Easter a great success! Special…
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.” (BCP, p. 281) This is one of the anthems recited during the Veneration of the Cross in our Good Friday liturgy. We are “halfway” through…
Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the cross; who lives and reigns for ever and ever….
We are in the home stretch as Easter is almost here. This Sunday is the Fifth Sunday in Lent, and I feel like this day is kind of like the last Sunday in Lent for me. In the same way we have Last Pentecost…
Greetings from Houston! Julie, Dn. Barbara, Fr. James, Steve, and I have had three great days of meetings, seminars, and gatherings, with one more day to go. We conclude our time here tomorrow morning and most will head back to KC. I will be…
If you enjoy watching the weather, then this was a great week for you! How do we go from a record high in the seventies to snow and ice—in the same day? Well, we did, and you all got a chance to experience it….
Here’s to a fulfilling, thought provoking, and not too miserable Lent! I looked back at what I wrote last year as we started Lent and realized there’s no good greeting that makes sense at this time. Happy, as I mentioned, doesn’t seem right, but…
Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God…
Our current Green Season is coming to a close, that is, the season of Epiphany. We will wear it this Sunday, the Last Sunday after the Epiphany, but this time we can’t be accused of supporting a certain football team who also happens to…
Thank you to all who came to the Annual Meeting and helped to elect four members to the Vestry. Congratulations to new vestry members Steve Moore, Nigel Jones, and Charles Shipley, and to reelected member Pat Decker. I am looking forward to working with…
It’s that time of year again and, no, I don’t mean watching the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game (though that is nice), but rather time for the Annual Meeting. It’s the one time per year we gather as a body to hear what…
