Word from Grace Street: Ego Holiday

...and as he stepped out through the front door, she called to her husband and said, lovingly, "Don't forget, honey! It's an ego holiday!" He smiled warmly, "Thanks, sweetie! I love you!" "I love you too!," she called. And he pulled the door behind him, and headed down the steps...

What would it be like to give our egos the day off? (I know my ego could use a day off.)

An ego holiday! What do you say?!

And what are we going to do to celebrate?!

SERMONS

Easter Sunday: The Rev. D. Wallace Adams-Riley

We come into the world, seeking relationship, and, seeking understanding.

LENT 2B

EPIPHANY 2B

To Bethlehem; to Bethlehem, we have come.

And, of course, this Christmas, tonight, and tomorrow, new memories are being made; a Carol sung, pure and exquisite; an old friend; warm, endearing words exchanged; a first Christmas for a new grandbaby; a candle lit, a face aglow, eyes agleam.

The Pointer’s Point

More than fifty times, in his published writings, Barth refers to the Grunewald image; and, indeed, usually, it is precisely in reference to John,  and John’s relation to the figure of Christ; as he points.
Barth (and Grunewald before him) understood John’s sole purpose to be to serve as a pointer to Christ, a reference to Christ, a witness to Christ.
