WEEKLY MESSAGE – May 10th- Bishop McGregor

This week Patsy and I are hosting a new friend of ours, named Jonah. He is a Kenyan priest, who is studying at one of the Episcopal seminaries in Sewanee, Tennessee. We have spent much time talking about African and American cultures, families and friends. It has been invigorating and encouraging to both myself and my wife. Because we lived in Kenya for four years, we have some friends and commonalities about his homeland. But most of all, we were able to pray and study the Bible together. There is something about praying and studying the Bible which rises above any cultural, economical, educational, social and political barriers. Somehow, when we focus on God, it lifts us above the temporal to the eternal as we transcend into the sacredness of God and one another. The Celtic missions call this sacredness, the thin places between heaven and earth, where God is known. May your day, week, month and year be filled with thin places.

WEEKLY MESSAGE – May 3, 2024

WEEKLY MESSAGE – May 5th – Bishop McGregor

Last week, I talked briefly with one of the students at St. David’s School towards the end of the day. He greeted me with a big smile and began talking to me as if we were friends. His mother was stunned and shocked about the fact that he was talking to me. Her mouth was wide open, and her head was bobbing at him and then at me and then back to him while we conversed. After a minute or so, she couldn’t take what was happening any longer and she looked straight at me and said, “He doesn’t talk to people.” It was a breath of fresh air for her to see her son being at ease talking to me, asking questions, and sharing his life. I found this time holy, sacred, and yet ordinary. This time was holy and sacred because of our acknowledgment of God’s presence in space and time with us. It was ordinary because it was a normal part of our daily lives to interact with others.
It’s significant for us to find sacred and holy moments in the ordinary spaces we live and move. It’s important that we ask ourselves each day, where is Jesus in my ordinary life? I pray that we invite Jesus into our spaces each day, waiting to see what he does.
Serving Christ Together,
+Todd

WEEKLY MESSAGE – April 26, 2024

WEEKLY MESSAGE – April 26th – Bishop McGregor
Leading St. David’s school chapel was a bit out of my comfort zone and I wasn’t sure if I would relate or communicate effectively to the children. But I was willing to give it a try. After two weeks of worshipping together with the young students, I look forward to it now and the children are an inspiration for me. With large smiles, they are happy to be there, and sing and talk without any reservations. They are generous, kind, attentive and passionate. One of the most joy-filled times is when one of them yells at the top of his or her lungs “Bishop Todd”. My heart begins to melt away my anxiety and fills it with peace and joy.
It’s amazing how we can overcome our fears when leaning into the situation and confronting our anxieties.  I was uncertain about this situation and God wanted me to lean into my discomfort. This opportunity to be around people I didn’t feel comfortable turned fears into a blessing. In the Greek language the same word is used for ‘test’ and ‘temptation.’ God wants to bless us and for us to be blessed, we have to take a risk and settle into our discomfort. I thank the Lord for bringing this test, and the children of the St. David’s community and filling my life with joy every Tuesday.

WEEKLY MESSAGE – April 19, 2024

WEEKLY MESSAGE – April 19th – Bishop McGregor

On Tuesday, I was blessed by meeting two people separately who were looking for hope and change in their lives. One stopped by the church to check it out because he was looking for a new place to worship and the other one wanted to become an official member here. I had the great honor of spending time with them to provide hope during this transition in their lives.
The season of Easter is a time for hope and change. The disciple’s expectations had been dashed when Jesus died and they had to fend for themselves. Their lives were full of fear and anxiety. When Jesus greeted them after the resurrection, they thought he was a ghost. But once Jesus was present with them, eating with them, talking to them, and breaking bread together, their fears and anxiety subsided.
The lesson for us all during the Easter season is finding hope and change when we commune with Jesus. Some examples of communing with Jesus are talking and listening to Jesus during our meals, during our daily devotions and our fellowship with others.
My fellowship with the two people provided hope while they transitioned. May we also consider how we can be agents of hope and change for others.
Serving Christ Together,
Bishop Todd

WEEKLY MESSAGE – March 28, 2024

WEEKLY MESSAGE – March 28th – Fr. Cederberg

It is hard to believe, when one sits in the dark, alone and unable to sleep, that the sun will ever rise again.  How can one hope when hope only raises expectations that may be frustrated?  How can one hope when pain deprives us of peace and even the thought of joy?  It is easy to want to give up when we have one of those “Good Friday” experiences that wrenches away happiness, and when love seems a practical joke.
And yet, Easter came.  Easter is not pretty icing on a bad cake but the redemption of our whole lives, from the inside out, from the bottom up.  Through Holy Week we see Jesus enter into our sufferings, experiencing them fully.  He takes them and transforms them into signs for us of his deep and enduring love.
As we come to the celebration of Easter, let’s not leave Good Friday behind.  Let us remember that when Jesus appeared to his disciples, he appeared with his wounds.  He reminds us that we don’t have to pretend our wounds don’t matter, but rather that he loves us so much that our wounds matter very much.  He has taken them on himself, and transformed them into signs of his love and grace.
May that awareness deepen our celebration of Easter, and help us to see more deeply than ever how much we are loved by our resurrected Lord, and how much he desires to set us free.
Alleluia!!!

WEEKLY MESSAGE – March 22, 2024

WEEKLY MESSAGE – March 22nd  – Fr. Cederberg

Palm Sunday is coming up, and it always feels to me like such a whipsaw of emotions.  The service starts with a blessing of the palms and the triumphal procession.  “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”, the people cry.  Then, in a few very short minutes, we begin the readings of the passion when this time we cry, “Crucify him, crucify him!”  My, how quickly the mood changes.

Yet I have to admit that my attitude towards God is often like that.  When things are going my way, I am jubilant and say, “Yes, way to go, God!”  Jesus is on my side.

When things turn against me, however, I am quick to doubt.  “Take him away.  Surely there is a better way.”  My heart is fickle and turns on a dime, in keeping with the status of my own comforts.

Perhaps that is why we go through this whole process of Lent and Holy Week.  We live out the drama in the life of Jesus, but also reflect on that drama being played out in our own hearts.  We love him, and yet we don’t.  We believe in him, and yet we doubt.  “Forgive us, Lord, for we know not what we do.”

While we may know that Easter is coming, to fully understand it we have to experience the dread of Holy Week.  There we are invited to go through the valley of the shadow of death together.  We will hear again the story of the Passion this year, and we will again be given the opportunity to honestly plumb the conditions of our own hearts for the bitterness, unforgiveness and selfishness that reside there.  Let us pray to the Jesus of the cross to bring us healing and strength.  Let us ask him to help us, so that we will be ready to genuinely celebrate resurrection and the new life it brings.

WEEKLY MESSAGE – March 15, 2024

WEEKLY MESSAGE – March 15th – Fr. Cederberg

Bodies are funny things, aren’t they?  I mean, the fact that we all walk upright, have two eyes in the front of our heads, and ten toes.  Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror and laugh?  I suppose that’s why it is so easy to take our bodies for granted.
And yet, how intricately made we all are.  Did you know there are 43 different muscles in the face alone, making it capable of over 10,000 different facial expressions.  The eye alone has over 2 million working parts.  Our bodies contain over 7 trillion nerves.  If you lined them up, they would stretch 45 miles!  That’s almost twice the width of Lake Okeechobee!
The more we come to understand the human body, the more it captures our awe.  No wonder, then, that the body is such an important part of our spiritual life.  Our spiritual forebears knew that we couldn’t just sit and think our faith.  We had to live it out.  Kneeling when we pray.  Opening our mouths to sing and to read.  Lifting up our hands to receive the sacrament.  Our bodies are the vehicle through which we receive, and give, the ministry of Jesus.
Perhaps part of our lenten discipline can be giving thanks for our bodies, and asking how we can use them to soak up more of the love of Christ.  Perhaps we could sit in silence for a bit, marveling at the body of Jesus, and how he so surrendered himself for us.  And perhaps there are ways that we can more fully let Jesus use our bodies to love others.

WEEKLY MESSAGE – March 8, 2024

WEEKLY MESSAGE – March 8th – Fr. Cederberg

If you were to look on a liturgical calendar (yes, there is such a thing!), you would see that this coming Sunday is called Laetare Sunday, “laetare” being the Latin word for rejoice.  It always falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent, similar to Gaudete (which also means rejoice) or Rose Sunday in Advent.
It is interesting that those who designed the calendar with penitential seasons also included days of celebration.  Why is that?  Why not just be penitential all the time?
Wisely they understood that with all of the disciplines of the Church there must always be an undergirding of joy.  They knew that it made no sense to live a life of discipline for its own sake.  Discipline exists for the sake of joy.  The writer of Hebrews tells us that Jesus “for the joy set before him endured the cross”.  The joy made it worth the suffering.  And what was that joy?  It was us!  With his eye fixed on us, he was willing to endure whatever it took.  The joy gave him courage.
And so it is for us.  We don’t take on the disciplines of prayer, fasting, generosity, etc., for their own sakes.  We take them on because they allow us to be more free.  To be able to love more effectively.  To be able to become more like Jesus.  To be filled with his joy.
So, when you’re tempted to grumble about the disciplines of Lent or all of the hard work it takes to become a person of character in this world, don’t forget the joy that lies before you.  It will give you the courage to do what needs to be done.
