Maybe you have felt like you have been exiled this entire year.

Vigilant; Rev. Dee Ledger, November 29, 2020
Some things just won’t get done. Can we just admit that right at the beginning of this build-up to Christmas and save ourselves and our loved ones some strain, stress, argument, and worry? Some things just won’t get ordered, or if ordered, they will come late or not at all because, well, we are in… [Read More]
Sheep, Goats, and Gratitude; Rev. Dee Ledger, November 22, 2020
There really should be a third option. How many of you get frustrated when things appear to be either one way or another, with no middle way, no third possibility, no gray areas, no wiggle room—either THIS or THAT?

Then the kingdom of heaven, the coming of the Son of Man, will be like this… So begins our parable for this morning about five foolish bridesmaids and five wise bridesmaids.

Render; Rev. Dee Ledger, October 18, 2020
To talk about taxes on a Sunday, on a Sabbath, might seem strange. But let’s dive in, shall we? Do you remember the first time that you learned about taxes: what they were for, how they were calculated, and what entities collect them? I don’t think that I really was very cognizant of taxes until… [Read More]
Keep On; Rev. Dee Ledger, October 11, 2020
How do you handle conflict? Do you tend to shy away from conflict? Or do you tend to be he confrontational sort? In your friendships and in your workplace, are you known as the “fixer” or the “mediator”? When there is upheaval in your life, do you tend to have more conflicts or fewer? What… [Read More]
Revive; Rev. Dee Ledger, October 4, 2020 World Communion Sunday
What revives your soul? When life has handed you a raw deal, when tempests rage around you and within you, when you are weary—oh so weary—what revives your soul? Where is your respite? Certainly, for many of us, living with the reality of Covid-19 has changed the way in which we revive and refresh ourselves,… [Read More]
