Sermon Sunday February 2, 2025 Rev. Norman A. Michaud “Called or Not” Luke 4: 21-30 Jeremiah 1: 4-10 “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” This Sunday is the fourth Sunday of Epiphany. Love is our Call. I have a personal connection to Jeremiah’s Call. We all have childhood memories. Some memories will fade, some remain on the tips of our tongues, and some will be remembered when provoked. Some recollections we want to forget, others we cherish.

Sermon Sunday January 26, 2025 Rev. Norman A. Michaud “Inaugurations: New Beginnings” Luke 4:14-21 On Monday, January 20th, we celebrated the life and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We also inaugurated the 47th President of the United States. The contrast may have brought anxiety to some and joy to others. In two states, Alabama and Mississippi, a declaration added January 20th as the day those states honored the life and legacy of Robert E. Lee, who led the Confederacy’s military in the South’s effort to preserve slavery. Political forces in the United States appear to urge a return to the Gilded Age when societal divisions were promoted by those “blessed by God.” That was a time when the fortunes of women were limited

Sermon Sunday January 19, 2025 “Don’t Tell” Luke 9: 18–21 There are three main instances in which Jesus instructed people not to tell others who he was or what he had done: After confirming to his disciples that he was indeed the Messiah, Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone. (Matthew 16:20; Mark 8:29-30; Luke 9:20-21) Matthew 16 v20 – Then he warned the disciples against telling others that he was the Messiah. Mark 8 v 30 – But Jesus warned them not to tell anyone. Luke 9 v 21 – He then gave them strict orders not to speak of this to anyone. Jesus healed a leper and told him not to tell anyone that it was he who had done this. The man,
