Dear ______: My goodness, with the kids being out of school for summer the time gets swept away. Sorry to have not written for so long. You are kind to ask if there are other criteria for making sure your children’s sermon is on track. I mentioned checking what you prepare to make sure it […]
Monday Meditation: RCL Year B, 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Mark 6:30-34, 53-56
The Revised Common Lectionary has given us a pair of texts this Sunday (Mark 6:30-34, 53-56).

They just can’t believe that the kid they watched growing […]

Instead we skip ahead on the 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time to Mark 5:21-43, another “sandwich passage.” As […]
