#68. Trinity Sunday; June 7 - Rev. Shane Page Jun 07, 2020

Show notes

This Sunday we come to one of final great liturgical Sundays of the year until Christ the King Sunday in November: Trinity Sunday. Each year after the Sunday of Pentecost the Church designates the following Sunday as a time to reflect on the God revealed in the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus: that the true God is Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Far from an abstract doctrine best left for academics to ponder, the Church's dogma that God is Trinity has vast implications for how we understand the nature of God and for what a truly human life, "imaging" God, should be.

#66. Pentecost Sunday; May 31 - Rev. Shane Page May 31, 2020

Show notes

This Sunday we come to yet another great day in the Christian year: the Sunday of Pentecost. Pentecost, which means fifty days, and which in the Christian calendar concludes the great fifty days of the Easter season, commemorates the sending of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples, animating them for their mission, giving birth to the Church. This Sunday we’ll recall a few important features of the story and reflect on why we should pray for a New Pentecost today.

#64. Ascension Sunday; May 24 - Rev. Shane Page May 26, 2020

Show notes

This Sunday we will commemorate yet another high holy day of the Christian year, the Sunday of Christ’s Ascension. Let’s revisit this great moment in the life of our Lord and remind ourselves what the event truly meant to the disciples and what it truly means for us today. Because Christ has ascended into heaven, we should possess within ourselves a lively, confident hope.

#63. Page-Turner Podcast. Episode 2/May 21, 2020 May 21, 2020

Show notes

This week on Page - Turner we discuss the effects quarantine has had on us, confirmation, the trend of young adults leaving the church, and answer a viewer's question on when we might be returning back to worship in person. (Please note Shane's statement regarding returning in June was before the Bishop's recommendation of postponing worshiping together in person until after June 30. We will be following the Bishop's guidelines)

#62. The Sixth Sunday of Easter; May 17 - Rev. Shane Page May 18, 2020

Show notes

The Sunday, the sixth in the Easter season, we will continue to reflect on the final words Jesus speaks to his disciples before his passion and resurrection. Last week the Lord said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." This week we will pick up where we left off. Jesus continues comforting his friends, saying in this week's lesson (John 14:15-21), "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." Let's reflect on the beauty of this sentence alone and consider the relationship between love and commandment.

#61. Page-Turner Podcast. Episode 1/May 14, 2020 May 14, 2020

Show notes

Join our Pastors, Shane and Kevin, and our Director of Communications, Karen Payne, as they discuss Kevin's recent accomplishment and how we are reaching out to the congregation to worship during this pandemic.

#60. The Fifth Sunday of Easter; May 10 - Rev. Shane Page May 11, 2020

Show notes

This Sunday—the fifth Sunday of the Easter season—we will reflect on the appointed passage this week from John 14:1-12. In these verses, and hours before his death, Jesus begins laying out for his disciples the sheer mystery of his divine nature. It could take weeks to explore all the marvels hidden in these sentences. We will therefore limit ourselves to considering our Lord’s glorious response to Thomas, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” In these words rests our own confidence in the great drama of salvation.

#59. The Fourth Sunday of Easter - Rev. Shane Page May 09, 2020

Show notes

This Sunday, the fourth Sunday of the Easter season, bears the title “Shepherd Sunday.” Based on the appointed gospel lesson for the day (John 10:1-10), we will spend a few minutes focusing on Jesus Christ as our Good Shepherd. In this Sunday’s lesson Jesus says is he the gate of the sheep and the guardian of the sheep who will protect his flock from the thief who comes only to steal, to kill, and to destroy. We will spend a few minutes contemplating this imagery and the good news it means for us today. Please note that this Sunday will probably be our last Sunday using our pre-recorded platform for worship. It is our every intent to resume the live stream of worship on Sunday, May the 10th. Please look for the details in the days ahead.
