Palm Sunday April 2, 2022 Matthew 21:1-11 The Passion according to St. Matthew Amid all the excitement of being back in our sanctuary this morning, I imagine that the appropriateness of its being Palm Sunday hasn’t gone unnoticed! Our last service here was on Ash Wednesday, when we burned the palms that were blessed just…
Le 5e dimanche de Carême le 26 mars 2023 Au début des années 2000, alors qu’Odile était encore secrétaire paroissiale de notre petite église, elle m’a présenté deux de ses amies les plus chères. En tant que professeure de français et professeure vacataire, Odile était très impliquée dans la vie de Greenwich Village au plus…

Epiphany IV January 29, 2023 Micah 6 :1-8 I Corinthians 1 :18-31 Matthew 5 :1-12 It is a rather wonderful thing to belong to a multi-lingual congregation. At our parish receptions we don’t just hear French and English spoken, but many other languages too. I suspect that many of us have felt our lives enriched by learning another…

What is baptism ‘for’ exactly? I’ve preached for many baptism services over the years – most…
Epiphany January 8th, 2023 Isaiah 60:1-6 Ephesians 3:1-12 Matthew 2:1-12 Look around you, and you will see many depictions of stars in the church. I’m afraid that some of them might look a bit tarnished at the moment because of the recent fire. There are not only the stars that we use to decorate the…
The Holy Name of Jesus January 1, 2023 Numbers 6:22-27 Galatians 4:4-7 Luke 2:15-21 According to Jewish law and tradition, a male child had to be taken to the temple eight days after it was born. There, the child was named and circumcised, and thus became a full member of the family of God’s Chosen…
