5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 

6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.

~1 John 1: 5-10 NIV

Thank you.

My mom died on Friday, February 12, three weeks to the day after her diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. She was experiencing symptoms of that cancer back in October when I was in Colorado to help her pack up the last things in the house in Arvada. She was experiencing upset stomach and abdominal pain, but we just figured it was anxiety due to the move. The symptoms resolved a little once she was in Bellingham, but never quite went away.

When she began losing weight, my sister set up an appointment with a new doctor, and that doctor did a CT Scan and found the cancer. My sister suggested I might delay coming out to Bellingham until we were sure mom was nearer the end, but I wanted to see mom in her new circumstance with at least a little vitality left. The Vestry encouraged me to go, and stay as long as needed. I am glad I went when I did, as the disease progressed faster than expected.

I want to thank the whole St. David’s community for your support of me during this hard time. I was glad to know that some of you were gathering every day at noon to hold my mom and my family in prayer. Your many expressions of concern have truly made this time easier for me.

I am currently in quarantine due to my travel. I had a negative COVID test before leaving Washington, and am schedule to have a test today (Thursday) at the Onondaga Town Hall. If it is negative, I will be able to return to normal activity. I plan to lead worship on Sunday, and be in the office on Monday. I’ll do my best to catch up with pastoral concerns then.

In the meantime, I just want to reiterate my thanks to you all. Thanks to Erica for leading worship the first Sunday I was away, and to Carrie for leading worship the second Sunday

Lenten Book Study.

During Lent, we will study the book "We Shall Be Changed: questions for the post-pandemic church", edited by Mark D. W. Edington. We will meet by Zoom during the usual Tuesday evening bible study time (7:00 pm). The book is short, and arranged into five “conversations.” We will read on “conversation” each week, beginning with the preface and Conversation 1 this week (pp. ix – xviii, 1-21).

God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark. I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison, who in former times did not obey, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. And baptism, which this prefigured, now saves you-- not as a removal of dirt from the body, but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers made subject to him.

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”
