A Vision of God’s Glory

By The Rev. Heather Erickson | Blog | Comments are Closed | 13 January, 2022 | 0

There is a scene in the Book of Exodus revealing an encounter between God and Moses. God has just commanded Moses to lead the people away from the holy mountain, the place where they’ve been dwelling after their escape from Egypt’s oppression. God is inviting Moses to take the people into the land that wasRead more

The Feast of the Epiphany

By The Rev. Heather Erickson | Blog | Comments are Closed | 6 January, 2022 | 0

I’ve driven through a lot of fog lately – or maybe it’s technically mist, I’m not sure – but whatever it should be called it lends an air of mystery to my day. Sometimes I find the fog annoying and depressing, like during the summer in the city when my body craves the sun. ButRead more

God Is With Us

By The Rev. Heather Erickson | Blog | Comments are Closed | 16 December, 2021 | 0

Last Sunday our children told the story of Christmas. They learned songs, memorized lines, practiced their entrances – how they would walk in and where they would stand, they put on their costumes and worked together, transforming the church into a scene from Bethlehem, 2,000 years ago (give or take). I imagine this story isRead more

Making Space

By The Rev. Heather Erickson | Blog | Comments are Closed | 25 November, 2021 | 0

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope this holiday is filled with gratitude, joy, and rest, as we give thanks, and with understanding and deepening awareness, as we seek to see things from different perspectives. On Sunday, we begin the new church year with the season of Advent. As the season of fall begins to give way toRead more

Place and Space

By The Rev. Heather Erickson | Blog | Comments are Closed | 28 October, 2021 | 0

At the Wednesday night Bible Study we’ve been slowly making our way through Exodus. It is a book that covers a lot of territory. First there is the story of Moses – a baby born into a harsh world whose life is preserved by courageous women, a youth who takes action to serve and protectRead more

An Invitation to Rethink One’s Life

By The Rev. Heather Erickson | Blog | Comments are Closed | 14 October, 2021 | 0

“As we question our current understanding, we become curious about what information we’re missing. That search leads us to new discoveries, which in turn maintain our humility by reinforcing how much we still have to learn. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don’t know is wisdom.”                                                                       Read more

I’m grateful.

By The Rev. Heather Erickson | Blog | Comments are Closed | 3 September, 2021 | 0

I’m feeling the weight of disappointment and hurt and suffering these days, and due to some of the conversations I’ve had lately, I imagine many of you are as well. From receiving bad news about our health, to worrying about the health and safety of people we know and love – and people we don’tRead more

Our Baptismal Covenant

By The Rev. Heather Erickson | Blog | Comments are Closed | 30 July, 2021 | 0

Last Sunday during the 10am we celebrated baptism. It was the first baptism St. John’s has celebrated as a community gathered together in the church in a long time. In baptism, vows are made, priorities are focused, and we remember together who we are as people of faith. The liturgy isn’t just for the personRead more

Song of Joy

By The Rev. Heather Erickson | Blog | Comments are Closed | 15 July, 2021 | 0

The Wednesday evening Bible Study has been making its way through the Book of Exodus. We seek to enter into the sacred stories with curiosity, desiring to learn more about the context of our faith, and how these stories shape our worldview, our understanding, our purpose, and the ways in which we live out ourRead more

A New Way of Seeing

By The Rev. Heather Erickson | Blog | Comments are Closed | 1 July, 2021 | 0

This Sunday’s gospel brings us the story of Jesus teaching in the synagogue of his hometown. At first the people gathered that day are impressed and astounded by his wisdom. But quite quickly they turn on him, cutting him down and saying that he’s just a carpenter who’ve they’ve known forever – since he wasRead more
