Message From Father Karl

The religious leaders continue to question Jesus in the Temple. Last week, they asked about taxation; this week, a lawyer asks which commandment is greatest.


Jesus responds by revealing that the heart of God's law is love of God (Deuteronomy 6:5) and neighbor (Leviticus 19:18). These two commandments are inseparable; love for God without love for neighbor is incomplete, while love for neighbor without love for God loses its deepest source.


As this is the fourth Sunday of the month, our Deacon-in-Training will be preaching. I look forward to Sunday as we gather online and in person to explore the message of love.

Education For Ministry

Are you looking for a deeper understanding of your faith and a chance to connect with others on a meaningful journey? Education for Ministry (EFM) might be just what you’re looking for! EFM is a four-year program developed by the School of Theology at the University of the South (Sewanee, TN). It’s designed for small groups, meeting once a week for three hours, with readings to prepare each week. Since 1975, EfM has helped over 120,000 people explore Christian tradition and discover new ways to serve in their daily lives. Alan Lindsay, a member of the Diocesan staff and St. Martin’s Church Bible Study teacher, has offered to facilitate a new EFM group if 6 to 12 participants are interested.  The group would start in January. The annual cost is approximately $350, plus about $100 for books and materials.


If interested in joining or would like more information, please email Abby Thomas at abbyandbarrythomas@gmail.com.
