The Gift Of Baptism

Contributed by Betty Johnson on Jun 28, 2012

This message unpacks some of the statements made about baptism and leads the believer, hopefully, to make a clear decision about their own theology of baptism. This message preceded a full immersion, believers' baptism.

It’s so interesting that Good Friday leads into Easter and Black Friday leads us into the Christmas holidays. The church needs to lead a movement of conspiracy to reclaim Christmas from ...read more

The Gift Of Silence

Contributed by Fr. Damien Evangelista on Apr 2, 2020

The world doesn't value silence, but making time to be silent is crucial for psychological and spiritual health.

Silence is essential for growth in the spiritual life. For instance, since God is omnipotent, we'd expect that he'd speak to Elijah through a strong driving wind or an earthquake as found in our first reading (1 Kg 18, 15-45). Instead, we find that Elijah comes out of hiding from the ...read more
