The Trinity: Caught Up in the Dance of Love - the Rev. Mike Angell

On Trinity Sunday, Rev. Mike Angell reframes doctrine as invitation. The Trinity reveals God as dynamic relationship, not solitary power. Even with doubt, we are drawn into belonging, made in the image of love. In a divided world, faith becomes practiced community, where all are welcomed to the table at the heart of God.

Breath on me Breath of God | The Rev. Dr. Paul Hanneman

This sermon explores the Spirit not as spectacle, but as breath—quietly bringing peace, healing, and courage. Through scripture and personal stories, it reveals how holy love restores brokenness, overcomes fear, and forms new community. True belief means giving one’s whole heart to God’s love and living it out.

Living as if We Were Staying - The Rev. Mike Angell

On Ascension Day, this sermon contrasts a culture of shallow, disposable living with the Gospel’s call to rooted presence. Drawing on Robin Wall Kimmerer and the angels in Acts, it invites us to stop looking for escape, to love fiercely, and to live deeply. Not everywhere, but somewhere. As if we were staying.

Christ Has No Body Now but Yours - The Rev. Simone Drinkwater

Set against stories of injustice past and present, this sermon explores Jesus’ commandment to love as a costly, embodied practice. Rooted in the farewell discourse and the Eucharist, it calls the church to resist separation, stand with the suffering, and become Christ’s body, broken and given for the life of the world.

Jesus Is Not a Christian Nationalist - The Rev. Mike Angell

In this sermon, our rector reflects on how Christian faith has often been shaped by an anxious focus on salvation that Jesus himself never centers. Drawing on John 14, he argues that Jesus’ words about being “the way” point not to exclusion or superiority, but to a way of life marked by trust, compassion, and openness to God here and now. When fear‑based theology turns faith into boundary‑making or nationalism, it loses sight of a God whose house always has room to spare.
