Healing in Forgiveness

Genesis 45: 3-11, 15—————1 Corinthians 15: 35-38, 42-50 Luke 6: 27-38 February 20, 2022——————-7th Sunday after Epiphany Rev. Patrick Mecham There has been a lot of talk about healing and health—probably since the beginning of humanity.  This has been especially true living through this pandemic!  But in recent years, there have been some amazing discoveries.  One of these is that our HEALTH is not just a matter of the physical body—it includes so many more facets.  One major factor in…

Those Who Trust in the Lord

Psalm 1—————1 Corinthians 15: 12-20—————Luke 6: 17-26 February 13, 2022—————Rev. Patrick Mecham Sixth Sunday after Epiphany Happy are those who trust in the Lord.  It’s kind of a basic concept in our faith, isn’t it?  I remember seeing a skit back in college where a student gets on an elevator and sees a friend and starts telling them about the new spiritual insight they had recently gleaned: TRUST IN THE LORD!  “Oh, my life has become so much more peaceful…

Fishing with Jesus

1 Corinthians 15: 1-11—————-Luke 5: 1-11 February 6, 2022—————-Rev. Patrick Mecham                                       5th Sunday after Epiphany One of my friends had an Uncle Ted who taught him how to tie a fly to the leader line for fly fishing.  He has a treasured memory of the passing along of that life-skill, and he has used it for years!  I personally find it to be a very helpful experience to explore all the important things in my treasure chest of skills…

More than a Sum of Its Parts

January 23, 2022……….3rd Sunday after Epiphany 1 Corinthians 12: 12-31a……….Luke 4: 14-21 Years ago (dare I say decades ago?!), Melissa and I spent a summer at a Presbyterian Camp on the slopes of Mr. Rainier.  She was a counselor, and I was the director, and we had a wonderful, exhausting, exhilarating summer!  Every week, we welcomed a new crop of campers: sometimes elementary, sometimes middle school, sometimes high school.  But on Day 2 of every week, we played a game…

The Fountain of Life

January 16, 2022……….2nd Sunday after Epiphany 1 Corinthians 12: 1-11………..John 2: 1-11 How do you feel about our Gospel reading for today?  The first recorded miracle of Jesus: turning water into wine.  It’s true that it really did make believers out of his first disciples—but why is this story important enough to be in our Bible? My mother was a teetotaler (and, of necessity, so was my father!)  Her mother belonged to the Women’s Christian Temperance Union.  I am pretty…
