Many years ago several of my minister friends convinced me to go with them to the annual United Church clergy golf tournament.

Janelle Hoffman’s 13-year-old son Greg wanted an iPhone for Christmas last year. Mom came through and delivered the goods on Christmas, but the phone came with a few conditions.  In fact, it came with eighteen conditions.

2. I will always know the password.

Easter Sermon, March 31 2013

Preached by Rev. James Murray at Dominion-Chalmers United Church

When I was growing up, one of my favourite Easter hymns was “All things bright and beautiful”

“Each little flower that opens, each little bird that sings,

he made their glowing colors, he made their tiny wings.

All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small,

“Weighing the palms against the silver” Palm Sunday, March 24 2013
