Singing as Prayer, Creation, and Transformation
This Pentecost Sunday we welcome interim music director Paul Vasile to teach us about three gifts within this sacred day.
Search Committees
This week Rev. William Critzman unearths the Scriptural precedent for work done by committee. As West End begins to sing a new song of great discernment and hope, how can we trust the creation and re-creation all around us?
New Day Coming
What stories stay with you on the road of life? How do you continue to find hope? Rev. Bridget Anthony guides West End through moments of awakening, grace and God’s unceasing love as we build tomorrow’s brand new day.
Location, Location, Location
Like the warmth of a blanket, the love of those who came before us gird our souls. As West End celebrates Black History Month, Rev. Bridget Anthony guides us to the ongoing love of Black women who helped form her.
Love’s Authority
Why do we make art? What of authority? Rev. William Critzman guides us through love, art-making, and the sacred nature of each as we consider the artists we are becoming.
Can You Feel It?
Can you feel it? Like Simeon and Anna knew, the great hope of what is yet to come finds its way into our bones. Rev. Anthony’s good word for the year to come as we renew, rebuild and rediscover who we are meant to be with God’s help.
Shepherds, Sheep, and Sheep Dogs
With the help of an enthusiastic puppy, West End celebrates four-legged friends during our Blessing of the Animals Sunday. Sheep Dogs remind us of our relationship to order and how we may be sheep and sheep dogs all at once.
The Cost of Truth
Rev. William Critzman unpacks the weight of truth, the expense of a lie. What would it mean to allow transformation and step bravely into big divine truths?
