Since our church is called St. James, I still feel affinity to the writer of the letter of James, even though he’s likely a different St. James than our own. And his advice to us this Sunday is to pray.

Growth in the Dark

Throughout history, whenever tragedy strikes, people turn to their faith. The pandemic has been no different.

Intercession

It is a powerful thing to pray for others specifically by name.

Peace

February 11, 2020/ Elsa Worth

Split into factions, the Corinthians were all accusing the other side of being wrong headed. Sound familiar?

Gratitude is our superpower

Presence

I hear an echo of the ancient Celtic tradition in this Sunday’s collect. But only an echo. To me, our collect seems quite thin in comparison.

Mighty to Save

What for us is impossible is not impossible for God. In Lent we are reminded from whom our strength comes.

Digest

The bible is a mysterious book - one that in many ways seems to be a relic of a much earlier time, hardly suited to our modern life.

Ears

For those who pray the daily office regularly, this really familiar psalm becomes part of your bones, but it can also kind of become part of the furniture.

I invite you to take a deep breath this Advent season and keep watch for unnecessary stress in your life.

Psalms

November 07, 2016/ Elsa Worth

You may wonder - Why continue to regularly pray ancient psalms that talk about vengeance or enemies? Or why not update them to be more positive, or at least add some new ones for more variety. Why stick to just these 150 old psalms?
