Join Nathan Hoff for A Voice from the Sacristy. The Gospel Reading for the Third Sunday of Easter is from Luke 24.36b-48. The theme for this week is the preacher’s telos and is taken from the last of six stanzas from the sacristy prayer at Ridderholmen Church in Stockholm, Sweden:
May the words of thy mouth be the seed of salvation,
thy walk show others the way;
thy prayers give Satan a rebuff;
and may thy death be the entry of a good and faithful servant
into the joy of thy Lord and Saviour.

In 2018 they began the Theta Community, a Benedictine-inspired residential-joined-by-local young adults for a year-at-a-time commitment to a shared rule of life and rhythm of prayer.
