  • Ephraim Moravian Church Comments “In Essentials, Unity; in Non-Essentials, Liberty; in All Things, Love”
    Ephraim Moravian Church Comments “In Essentials, Unity; In Non-Essentials, Liberty; In All Things, Love” Congregational Watchword for 2010 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.” Psalm 46:1-2 December 2010 From the Pastor’s Desk: “A voice cries out: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. Then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”- Isaiah 40: 3—5 Have you finished your Christmas Shopping? I’m a little behind this year because of the move, but… all the gifts for my out of town friends/family are bought and wrapped and will be mailed out after Thanksgiving. I just have a few items left for Bob and Robert. By the first week of December, those items will be purchased, wrapped and under the tree. All decorations will be up by the first Sunday of Advent. By now most of you are muttering some form of bah- humbug! In my defense, I wasn’t always this way. I used to wait and then run around trying to get everything done by Christmas. I found myself stressed out and exhausted. Being a slow learner, it took me a few years to realize that Christmas did not have to be like that.

  • The Eucharist
    The Eucharist The Feast of St John the Evangelist The First Sunday after Christmas Sunday 27 December 2020 9.00am Welcome to Southwark Cathedral Set on the south bank of the River Thames in one of the most vibrant and diverse communities in London, this building has been a constant witness in a place of change. The first church was built on this site around the year 606. First a convent, then a monastery, it became in 1106 the Augustinian Priory of St Mary Overie. With Westminster Abbey and St Bartholomew the Great in Smithfield it is one of the three remaining great monastic churches of London. At the Reformation the Priory became a parish church and it remains so for the people of Bankside. In 1905, as south London was rapidly expanding, the church was consecrated as the cathedral for the new Diocese of Southwark. As well as a place of constant witness to our faith in Jesus Christ, this church has a momentous and proud history and has had links with many famous and influential characters including St Thomas Becket, Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens. In the 20th century this cathedral was at the heart of the new movement in theology termed ‘South Bank Religion’. This movement asked challenging questions of people about faith in the modern age which continue to be explored at Southwark Cathedral which describes itself as ‘inclusive: faithful: radical’. Whatever has brought you here today, you are most welcome.Become part of the life here if you can; it will change your life as you encounter with us our living God.

  • Marking the New Year Luke 13:6-9 January 3, 2021 for La Verne COB and Shared More Broadly Russ Matteson
    Marking the New Year Luke 13:6-9 January 3, 2021 for La Verne COB and shared more broadly Russ Matteson Isn’t that parable from Luke’s Gospel a curious one? “Cut the tree down and throw it into the fire” is the command which makes sense as why would you use the resources and space on an unproductive tree? And yet the gardener in the story asks for one more year, a chance to use the days that lie ahead to make a difference and get good growth and produce fruit from the tree. There is no resolution to the parable, we aren’t told if the gardener is successful. All we know is that the year ahead has been given to work at growth, and the future, as they say, is in God’s hands. This parable is one that is often used around Watchnight services, a worship service that invites followers of Jesus to take time to look into the year ahead and renew their commitment to living faithfully as a disciple. John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist tradition, is usually credited as the originator of the service, although it was the Moravians who in 1733 first started religious gathering at the new year for a time of recommitment to Jesus and reexamination of the presence of God’s grace in the lives of the faithful. And for African-Americans, Watchnight has connections to December 31, 1862, also known as Freedom’s Eve when african americans gathered in homes and churches to watch for the dawn of the new day when the Emancipation Proclamation would take effect and, on paper at least, liberate those held in slavery in the Confederate states from bondage.
