28 juin 2026 Genèse 22:1-14 Romains 6:12-23 Matthieu 10:40-42 Comme l’a rappelé Nigel la semaine dernière, le lectionnaire (c’est-à-dire le calendrier de lectures de l’Église) a parfois beaucoup d’humour. Parfois de l’humour un peu noir… comme aujourd’hui où, en première lecture de ce jour joyeux du baptême de Maurice présenté par ses sponsors…
4e dimanche après la Pentecôte21 juin 2026Genèse 21 : 8-21 – Romains 6 : 1b-11 – Matthieu 10 : 24-39 À cause du cycle de trois ans de notre lectionnaire, certains jours du calendrier de Saint-Esprit sont condamnés à répéter les mêmes lectures. Parfois, la coïncidence est un peu déstabilisante. Tous les trois ans, par…
IIIème dimanche après la Pentecôte 14 juin 2026 Genèse 18:1-15, 21:1-7 Romains 5:1-8 Matthieu 9:35-10:9-23 Après leur avoir communiqué son pouvoir, Jésus, nous venons de l’entendre, envoie ses douze disciples en des termes qui vous ont peut-être semblés peu charitables : « Évitez les régions où habitent les personnes qui ne sont pas Juives…
Pentecost IIJune 7, 2026Genesis 12 :1-9 Romans 4 :13-25 Matthew 9 :9-26 As I’m sure Joris has now discovered, wearing a clerical collar in public is a mixed blessing. People often have rather bizarre ideas about what it can accomplish. There are those who believe it hooks you up with perks wherever you go. According to them,…
Trinity SundayMay 31, 2026Genesis 1:1-2:4 II Corinthians 13:11-13 Matthew 28:16-20 Our Gospel reading today brings us to the very end of the book of Matthew. Just before this passage, an angel and then Jesus himself appeared to the women near the empty tomb on the outskirts of Jerusalem. Jesus repeated the message the angel…
PentecostMay 24, 2026Acts 2 :1-21 I Corinthians 12 :3-13 John 20 :19-23 This time last week, we were celebrating the New York State Sacred Spaces open house. It was a beautiful day, and one of the highlights for me was a table at the front of the church with old photos and documents from our history. A…
Ascension (transferred)May 17, 2026Acts 1:1-11 | Ephesians 1:15-23 | Luke 24:44-53 Popular wisdom is full of proverbs and stories warning us against looking back, or dwelling on past realities. In French, we say that there is no point in “stirring up the past.” Let bygones be bygones. In the Old Testament, you may remember the…
Easter VI / Baptism of ValérianMay 10, 2026Acts 17:22-31 I Peter 3:13-22 John 14:15-21 I always look forward to celebrating a baptism; being a small part of the excitement and the hopes of the arrival of a new child in the world is such a privilege, and on everyone’s behalf, I want to…
Easter VMay 3, 2026Acts 7:55-60 I Peter 2:19-25 John 10:1-10 Our little community has lived in many “dwellings” in New York since the first communion service in French in 1628. None of these buildings survived New York’s urban development or the demographics tides of our congregation. In fact, we have already…
Easter IIIApril 19, 2026Acts 2:14a 36 – 41 I Peter 1:17-23 Luke 24:13-35 When I was about six or seven years old, my parents used to send me to Sunday School. I’ll be honest. I wasn’t there for the theology. I was there for the competitive world of the Sunday School Sticker…
