RCL reflection, 5th Sunday of Easter, Year A, May, 2026. What does it mean to be God’s people? How do we explain ourselves in today’s world? Yes, we have received mercy, and yes, we belong to God, but now what? The Rev. Sharron R. Blezard explores. (Photo: Creative Commons)


Revised Common Lectionary reflection, Second Sunday of Easter, Year A. April 12, 2026.

2nd Sunday in Lent, Year A, March 1, 2026. This week’s gospel contains perhaps the most “famous” verse in scripture AND its often overlooked counterpart. What are the limits of God’s love? How do we measure them? Surely such love transcends all limits! (Photo: Public Domain Pictures)

RCL reflection, Proper 22, Year C, October 5, 2025. This week’s gospel and epistle lessons provide important instruction about being stewards of the very faith we name, claim, and live.

RCL reflection for Proper 14, Year C. August 10, 2025.

Revised Common Lectionary reflection for Proper 10, Year C. July 13, 2025.
Like Mary, Martha’s culture-bending sister, we must choose the better part. We must choose to live in the moment, cast our hopes and fears and hurts on Jesus and trust him to guide us home to dwell in the house of God forever. The Rev. Sharron Blezard explores.
