Grace: It's Our Way of Life

As Episcopal Christians we
Worship at home daily and together weekly;
Study the Scriptures, our tradition, and what it means to be a disciple today;
Serve our families, our parish, and our world in the name of Christ.

Everything we do is done with an ethic of Welcome
because we are only here by Grace.

Sermon on Jesus as the True King and True Priest, and the temptation of Palm Sunday for Jesus and us to replace his true nature with the king, the God, the religion, the priest we want instead of who Christ is, who God is, and who they through the Spirit are creating us to be.
