		<description><![CDATA[A Message for Holy Week
A big part of following Jesus is &#8220;showing up&#8221;.  I know that mere arrival doesn&#8217;t sound like much; certainly not brave or dramatic or life-changing.  Sometimes the condition that we arrive in is a lot less than we would wish:  tired, distracted, depleted.  We might question the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The re-telling of Jesus&#8217; birth narrative reminds us of God&#8217;s incredible power and it very nature.  Salvation is born into the world from the womb of a scandalized unwed mother relying on the continued faithfulness of an embarrassed partner-to-be who knows he is not the biological father. They will trust God&#8217;s promises, together.  [...]]]></description>

During the second week of September, I had the privilege of returning to New Orleans, where thirteen of us had represented St. Andrew&#8217;s during an inspired mission experience back in July.

		<description><![CDATA[Back in June, I suggested to the congregation that summer might be a &#8220;growing season&#8221; in our community of faith, where the rhythm of life changes along with the weather, and where the Holy Spirit reshapes and invigorates us.  I had no idea how true that would be!
On the surface, worship attendance this summer wasn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

The text is the Gospel reading for the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost, and the message speaks to us right where we live.
A great crowd has gathered about the very-busy Jesus.  In its midst, he is approached by Jairus, &#8220;one of the rulers of the synagogue,&#8221; a very important man.    &#8220;My [...]]]></description>

Can you think of a missed opportunity in your life?  Perhaps something that was right there for you, but you didn&#8217;t see it, or realize what the decision meant at the time?  Or maybe you can remember something important that you did recognize and seize upon, and how that has changed your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every day, people raise important questions of faith and meaning.  The questions reveal the good-faith struggles of the questioners, and often speak for other members of the congregation as well.  They can be questions about things that confound us. Or they can be expressions of longing that arise from our personal journeys.  [...]]]></description>

Mark 1:40-45
A leper came to Jesus begging him, and kneeling, and he said to him, &#8220;If you choose, you can make me clean.&#8221; Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, &#8220;I do choose . . .&#8221; &#8211; Mark 1:41
