Don't Lose Heart. That's the simple, urgent command at the center of Jesus's parable of the persistent widow. In this sermon, We're challenged to rethink this familiar story, shifting the focus from the unjust judge to the persistent woman. The "Santa Persista" whose "pluck and courage" force change. Drawing on the work of Howard Thurman and Richard Rohr, The Rev. Mike Angell argues that true Christianity is not a system of "order" or a set of rules, but a thread of faith that carries us through seasons of "disorder". This is an invitation to let your faith be stretched between what was and what can be, and to embrace the persistent justice-seeking the Holy Spirit busy re-making faith across the globe.

Feeling like the world you knew is vanishing? In this sermon, The Rev. Mike Angell helps us explore the ancient words of the prophet Jeremiah to find a radical, spiritual response to our modern-day "exile". Forget waiting for the Rapture. The real work is to "seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you," or as the Hebrew commands: to work for the Shalom (wholeness, justice, and peace) of our very captors. Discover how our call to generosity and justice is not just a nice idea, but the defiant, transformative way we find our own peace in strange and threatening times.

Join us this beautiful Sunday as The Rev. Simone Lilith Drinkwater preaches about the wild energy of scripture—from divine sarcasm to radical humility. We reflect on St. Francis, the saint who embodied the gospel more than he preached it. What does it mean to be called a “fool” by Jesus—and how does Francis change the tone? We talk about encountering God in unexpected places, even in the natural world. And we remember: sometimes the loudest gospel is the one lived, not spoken.

Happy Michaelmas! Join us this beautiful Sunday as The Rev. Mike Angell re-examines the idea of interruption. Beyond being a rude habit, interruption can be a spiritual practice. A way to break through cynicism, fear, and hopelessness. He share a candid story about facing online vitriol and uses it to frame a broader discussion on how our faith calls us to be a beautiful interruption to the world's ugliness. This is a call to action to find courage, foster community, and choose love in a time defined by vision.

Join us on this fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost as The Rev. Simone Lilith Drinkwater reframes a classic parable to expose Mammon, a corrupting force far more sinister than simple wealth. It's the system that makes people feel expandable, valuing profit over human life. The message? Our commitment to God is an ongoing choice.

Jesus tells a story that doesn’t make sense: a shepherd leaves ninety-nine sheep in the wilderness to search for one that’s lost. When the logic of the world leads to more violence, followers of Jesus are invited to be illogical, to confront a background theology shapes our politics, our divisions, and our assumptions about who belongs.

Paul’s letter to Philemon challenges us to welcome the outsider as family. Jesus calls us to re-evaluate our values and embrace those who don’t fit our mold. True Christian welcome is costly, uncomfortable, and transformative. It means making space for everyone—especially the ones who challenge our comfort zones. 💬✝️ #RadicalWelcome #FaithInAction #Philemon #CostOfDiscipleship

On this twelfth Sunday after Pentecost our new Director of Youth & Outreach, Angel Nalubega, offers a powerful reflection on what it means to live out our faith in a world full of suffering and uncertainty.

Join us as we discover why living a life of Love is the ultimate act of worship in a world that desperately needs it.
