Sermon: June 25, 2023
Posted on June 26, 2023 | Pastor: The Rev. Dr. Suzannah RohmanAs I read our scripture passages for today, I found myself thinking about systems and the tendency of systems to do everything they can to remain the same or to achieve “homeostasis.” It took me back to my high school biology class when we learned about all the ways that...
Sermon: Pentecost, May 28, 2023
Posted on May 28, 2023 | Pastor: The Rev. Dr. Suzannah RohmanAbout a month ago, I attended the Diocese of Maine’s annual clergy conference. For two days we got to soak in the wisdom of Dr. Catherine Meeks. Dr. Meeks is an Episcopal layperson and the executive director of The Absalom Jones Episcopal Center for Racial Healing, located in Atlanta, Georgia....
Sermon: 7 Easter, May 21, 2023
Posted on May 22, 2023 | Pastor: The Rev. Dr. Suzannah RohmanI was recently reading a sermon written by the Episcopal priest and author, Barbara Brown Taylor and there was an idea from the sermon that has stayed with me and seemed particularly relevant as I read our passage from acts for this morning. She was speaking about the times when...
Sermon: 6 Easter, May 14, 2023
Posted on May 15, 2023 | Pastor: The Rev. Dr. Suzannah RohmanOver the two and a half decades that I have served parishes as an ordained person, I have had the privilege of being with many people at the end of their lives. I have seen people die suddenly whose family and friends were completely unprepared for their death. And I...
Sermon: 5 Easter, May 7, 2023
Posted on May 9, 2023 | Pastor: The Rev. Dr. Suzannah Rohman“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6) Yes, indeed, I am going to preach a sermon focusing on that passage. I guess I like to do things the hard way. Or, probably...
Suzannah’s 8 am Sermon: 4 Easter, April 30, 2023
Posted on May 2, 2023 | Pastor: The Rev. Dr. Suzannah RohmanWhat does a Christian Community look like? Today I am not going to give a sermon, but instead lead a discussion, or a Bible study. I want us to look very closely at our readings from Acts for today and since it is a passage about Christian community, I think...
Bishop Brown’s Sermon at St. Andrew’s: 4 Easter, April 30, 2023
Posted on May 2, 2023 | Pastor: Rt. Rev. Thomas James BrownA Sermon for St. Andrew Church in Newcastle, Maine, preached by the bishop, the Right Reverend Thomas J. Brown, on the Fourth Sunday of Easter, 30 April 2023. To God be the glory. The image of the Good Shepherd is both among the oldest and deeply loved images for the...
Sermon: Earth Day, April 23, 2023
Posted on April 24, 2023 | Pastor: The Rev. Dr. Suzannah RohmanToday we are celebrating Earth Day here at St. Andrew’s. Every year when Earth Day arrives, I think the same thing, “How typical of us humans to celebrate the planet that allows for our very existence only one day a year. Every day should be earth day. Perhaps we wouldn’t...
Sermon: 2 Easter, April 16, 2023
Posted on April 24, 2023 | Pastor: The Rev. Dr. Suzannah Rohman“Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” I think that forgiveness is talked about more in the Bible than any other topic. Maybe love is talked about more, but then again love...
Sermon: Easter, April 9, 2023
Posted on April 10, 2023 | Pastor: The Rev. Dr. Suzannah RohmanMy Easter Sunday sermon is one that I both look forward to writing with great anticipation and that I dread as well. I look forward to writing and preaching it because Easter is the most important day of the year for Christians. It is the day on which we celebrate...
