"“How about infant baptism? Shouldn't you wait until the child grows up enough to know what's going on?...
When it comes to the forgiving and transforming love of God, one wonders if the six-week-old screecher knows all that much less than the archbishop of Canterbury about what's going on.”
–Frederick Buechner

"You do not have to be good.
You do no have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you about mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prayer and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things."
- Mary Oliver, Wild Geese
This week we welcome Jeremy Langill, our new Director of Faith Formation and Outreach, to the pulpit for the first time.

Gracious God, it would have been enough if you had given us life and breath,
but you also gave us hearts to love and hands to build and pray and hold each other.
You gave us imagination and ingenuity.
You gave us minds to choose and to perceive and to dream.
You gave us senses-- to taste and feel and see and smell and hear.
You gave us this earth with oceans and mountains, season and rhythms, dawnings and sunsets.
It would have been enough if you had given us life and breath, God, but you have given us far more, always abundantly more.
You gave us Your love and Your presence, Your Spirit to guide us,
And You gave us Your Son, Jesus, the bread of heaven. Amen.

“What I love about the Bible is that the story isn't over. There are still prophets in our midst. There are still dragons and beasts. It might not look like it, but the Resistance is winning. The light is breaking through. So, listen to the weirdos. More than anyone else in Scripture, they remind us that those odd ducks shouting from the margins of society may see things more clearly than the political and religious leaders with the inside track. We ignore them at our own peril. Listen to the voices crying from the wilderness. They are pointing us to a new King and a better kingdom.” - Rachel Held Evans, Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again

“The Dead Sea in the Middle East receives fresh water, but it has no outlet, so it doesn't pass the water out. It receives beautiful water from the rivers, and the water goes dank. I mean, it just goes bad. And that's why it is the Dead Sea. It receives and does not give. In the end generosity is the best way of becoming more, more, and more joyful.” ― Desmond Tutu, The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World

“Jesus's resurrection is the beginning of God's new project, not to snatch people away from earth to heaven, but to colonize earth with the life of heaven. That, after all, is what the Lord's Prayer is about. The resurrection completes the inauguration of God's kingdom. It is the decisive event demonstrating that God's kingdom really has been launched on earth as it is in heaven. The message of Easter is that God's new world has been unveiled in Jesus Christ and that you're now invited to belong to it.” —N. T. Wright
