Morsels & Stories: For this summer we’re going to do read through Good Goats: Healing our Image of God. This morning we read the first twelve pages.
Sermon: This is one of my favourite passages because in the middle of a healing and a dying girl, Jesus cares about a nameless woman.

Morsels & Stories: I read the story “Noah’s Wife: the Story of Naamah.”

Morsels & Stories: I talked about the differences in the Apostle’s (which we used in Easter) and the Nicene Creed (which we use most of the time). For this I wrote the Creeds out in two different colours of ink. That is still up at Church but I’d encourage you to do something similar if you want to see. I wrote the Nicene Creed out in pencil, wrote over the Apostle’s Creed in one colour, and then finished the rest in another colour. If you are doing this just for you, it would be easy to underline or highlight one of the parts.
Sermon: The pharisees want to talk about the law. Jesus, who also loves the law, sees a whole different picture. How do we learn to see like Jesus?

Listen:
Morsels & Stories: I talk about the Eucharist Prayer we’re using in Easter and some of the reasons I like the BAS. If you want to read the pages I talk about and don’t have a Book of Alternative Services, you can borrow one from St Peter’s or read them online here: link.
