A Sermon by Julia Wingfield
St. Paul's Youth Program

Sunday, March 21, 2010 - Youth & Children Sunday

Listen to her sermon below:

Excerpt:

"Faith and love are risks. There is so much gray. We give so much without knowing what we'll ever receive in return. Faith is something that is so hard to understand and have confidence in; and so hard to have remain constant for your entire life. But, I can honestly say, because of my experience in this church, that I understand that's kind of the point of faith. You can never see it or touch it. You have to experience it. And I have [experienced faith] because of this youth program.

"I therefore speak for all of us in YAC -- for Staige, Quint, Si, Margaret, Olivia, Liz, Nena, Douglas, Dom, Thomas, Joy, Jaime, and Henry -- when I speak of the importance of this program. It teaches us the significance of community, friendship, service, faith. And most importantly, to grasp the experiences in life as firmly as possible for there is meaning in all of it."

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.
