Midweek Message: Haphazard by Starlight

by

by Lee Hull Moses– “Haphazard by starlight.” The phrase comes from a poem called “BC:AD” by U.A. Fanthorpe, which we’ve read on Christmas Eve in years past. I love the last stanza:  And this was the moment/ When a few farm workers and three /Members of an obscure Persian sect /Walked haphazard by starlight straight /Into… Read More →

Midweek Message: Waiting

by

by Lee Hull Moses — In Sunday’s sermon, I mentioned the spacecraft that landed on Mars last week after hurtling through 300 million miles of space for six months. Can you imagine the anticipation the scientists felt, after years of planning and months of watching and waiting? And it turns out the waiting isn’t really… Read More →

Midweek Message: Reflections on Light and Dark

by

by Lee Hull Moses — I watched the movie A Wrinkle in Time recently. It’s an adaptation, of course, of Madeline L’Engle’s classic book of the same name. It’s a gorgeous film, full of incredible imagery that complements the powerful story of love conquering evil. There are great themes of darkness and light throughout the… Read More →
