Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – 3rd Sunday after Epiphany – 2018

Today in our Gospel lesson, as Jesus implores St Peter and St Andrew to follow him and become fishers of men and women, we are reminded that asking us to share the message and love of Christ is asking no more than what he himself did when he walked among us. If evangelism is your goal, then receive this blessing from the Compleat Angler, “Let the blessing of St. Peter’s Master be…upon all that are lovers of virtue, and dare trust in his Providence, and be quiet and go a-angling.”

first english lutheran pittsburghEvery Holy Week, Episcopal clergy typical renew their vows from when they were ordained.  In the Diocese of Pittsburgh, we share that service with our fellow clergy in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  This year, the Lutherans hosted and their bishop presided, while Bp. Dorsey McConnell preached.  He preached on the texts from Isaiah 61, Revelation 1, and Luke 4.  May we each come to appreciate the weighty call places upon all his baptized family to spread the Good News in word, deed, and sacrament.
