Prepare the Way O Zion – Sermon for Advent 2, 2021

December 5, 2021 | Rev. Graham McCaffrey

If you were here last week, you will know the great relief it was to be able to sing together again. As lovely as the voices of our soloists and choir have been over the last 2 years, there is something special about congregational singing. It doesn’t matter if you sing flat or sharp, loud or softly, combined it creates a sacred chorus, it was truly a joy to behold. Singing is in many ways the universal language, you do not need to understand the words of a song to necessarily understand its … [Read more...]

Good News: Jesus is Lord

Waiting, Watching – Sermon for Advent 1, 2021

November 28, 2021 | Rev. Graham McCaffrey

“Be alert at all times, praying that you may have the strength to escape all these things that will take place, and stand before the Son of Man." - Luke 21:25-36 Waiting can be hard at the best of times.

After all, today is the last Sunday of the Christian liturgical calendar – next week we begin the season of Advent; we get to begin again the journey of preparation … [Read more...]

New Life – Baptism of Christ Sunday, 2020

January 12, 2020 | Rev. Graham McCaffrey

“See, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth, I tell you of them.” – Isaiah 42:9 “Gone by 2040? Statistics report wake-up call to church, says primate” If you receive the Anglican Journal or you happened to read one here in our entryway before they were taken, you would have been confronted by this shocking headline, on the front page of our church’s national newspaper. The article is a response to statistics which were recently released … [Read more...]
