Join Nathan Hoff and Andrea Taphorn for A Voice from the Sacristy. The Gospel Reading for Palm Sunday is the whole Passion According to St. Mark (Chapters 14-15). The theme for this week is battling discouragement and bitterness taken from the third of six stanzas from the sacristy prayer at Ridderholmen Church in Stockholm, Sweden:
Let not bitterness quench thy zeal,
for thou art a shepherd and not a lord;
Selfishness be from thy office,
for the care of souls must not be made
the means of getting sordid gain;
Be not dismayed in sowing the seed,
for the Lord giveth the increase.
Meet Andrea Taphorn. I am a pastor, a wife, a mom of three awesome kids. I’m in San Diego, California. I am trying to love coffee less than I do.
