Easter II – Huguenot SundayApril 12, 2026Acts 5:27-32 Revelations 1:4-8 John 20:19-31 In recent weeks, I’ve had the chance to work with Donna and Suzana, our archivist, on what will soon become a small photo gallery dedicated to the history of our community, located at the entrance of the church. The…
Easter Sunday 2026Acts 10:34-43 Colossians 3:1-4 John 20:1-18 When I first arrived in New York City, one of the things I found most awkward was how to speak to relative strangers — in shops, in restaurants, or just passing someone on the street. In the United States, if an exchange was possible, people were immediately,…
Good Friday 2026 I believe that all forms of violence have something in common. Violence abuses and impoverishes speech; it renders it univocal. Every form of violence lacks nuance, depth, complexity, and humanity. Violence does not dialogue; it is monolingual. There is no alternative. There is no link or consequence leading from one word to…
Passion – Palm SundayMarch 29, 2026Isaiah 50 :4-9a ; Philippians 2 :5-11 ; Matthew 26:14- 27:66 Since at least the 5th century, the Church has read the narrative of Christ’s Passion in its entirety on this Sunday, marking the beginning of Holy Week. We give it such importance because this judicial and cosmic drama is the most defining mystery of…
Lent VMarch 22, 2026Ezekiel 37:1-14 Romans 8:6-11 John 11:1-45 The French actress Simone Signoret famously titled her autobiography ‘Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be’. It’s a witty title, but it has a deeper and more melancholy meaning. Nostalgia is a complicated feeling. It has its positive sides: it can strengthen a community’s…
En mémoire d’elles…Valérie Duval-Poujol, Église du SE New-York 08/03/2026 « Je suis dans la joie quand on me dit : « allons vivre un beau dimanche avec les chrétiens de l’Eglise du Saint-Esprit à New York! » Vous connaissez ce psaume ? Il est dans ma Bible ! Je me réjouis de vivre ce beau temps autour de la parole de…
Second Sunday in LentMarch 1st, 2026Genesis 12:1-4; Romans 4:1-5, 13-17; John 3:1-17 “One must travel to sharpen and rub one’s brain up against that of others,” wrote Michel de Montaigne in his essay on the education of children. The phrase is sharp and clearly shows that traveling is not primarily a leisure activity; it is…
First Sunday in LentFebruary 22, 2026Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7 Romans 5:12-19 Matthew 4:1-11 I think we can all remember a conversation we have witnessed or participated in—perhaps it may even be a conversation we have had with ourselves. The season of Lent that we have just entered invites us to pay special attention to these conversations.…
Last Sunday of Epiphany The TransfigurationFebruary 15, 2026Exodus 24:12-18 II Peter 1:16-21 Matthew 17:1-9 If we were to read the story of the Transfiguration for the first time without knowing anything else about Jesus’ teaching, his healing ministry or his death and resurrection, we would probably find it rather strange or exotic. Perhaps we would…
Epiphany VFebruary 8, 2026Isaiah 58:1-12 I Corinthians 1:1-16 Matthew 5:13-20 There is something about Jesus that satisfies. You may have experienced it – we may have experienced it – when accepting the invitation to gather around the Lord’s table. Come… “O taste and see that the Lord is good” (Ps 34:8). At every Christian worship…
