Date: July 9, 2023
Scripture: Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30

Date: June 5, 2023
Scripture: Genesis 18:1-15
Preacher: Rev. Beth Neel

Speaking of the Trinity, someone once said that it’s not about two men and a bird. According to the liturgical calendar, today is Trinity Sunday, and my guess as to why it’s this particular Sunday goes something like this: we have finally acknowledged the three persons. God the Creator is always present; we have traveled … read
