The True Vine/Abide in Me: Easter V John 15:1-8 Sunday, May 2nd, 2021 Nancy Wright-DeKuyper, Christ Church Layreader. England’s Hampton Court Palace, originally built in the early 16th century and situated southwest of London, was the lavish estate of King Henry VIII and it was one of his favourites.

Sermon by the Rev. Mary Bell-Plouffe. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Is there any more beloved passage in all of scripture? It was written 3000 years ago, and is attributed to King David,
who if you remember, was a shepherd himself in his early days.

Sermon by the Rev. Mary Bell-Plouffe. I must confess that when I took a close look at the gospel assigned for this morning, I was disappointed. All through Easter, beginning with Maundy Thursday, we’ve been hearing the Gospel of John. Today, we’ve switched to Luke’s gospel.

I have a friend, a biblical storytelling colleague named Dennis Dewey. Dennis was actually the first person I heard do biblical storytelling, And it knocked my socks off — I thought ‘I could never do that’.

Nancy Wright-DeKuyper, Christ Church Lay Reader – Forty days and forty nights….the season of Lent. But it seems that we have been living in this period for a much longer time due to the global pandemic of COVID-19. It feels much quieter for me, trying to focus on the meaning of this time, when it’s customary to give up or let go of something that matters.
