As Christians we are called to transformation, including the transformation of our wants and desires.

Preacher: The Very Rev. Dr. Jane Shaw

Trinitarian theology is often overly complex. We experience the Trinity in our daily lives: in the majesty of God the Creator, in following Jesus who shared our life on this earth, and through the Holy Spirit who pushes us to fullness of life.

The response of Jesus' first disciples to his command to put down their nets and follow him reminds us that we too search for meaning, thirst for God, and long for a whole life.

Preacher: The Rev. Canon Mark E. Stanger

The scriptures today tell of the call of prophets and disciples. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and we who follow Jesus are called to witness to the paradox of the Cross.
