As we kick off a new program year, I am excited about the next generation of Bethesda-by-the-Sea parishioners.

When I hear “pilgrimage,” I reflexively think of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales.

There’s an old saying about Episcopal/Anglican posture in worship: “Stand to praise, kneel to pray, sit to learn.”

Over the centuries, there have been many attempts to define what “theology” actually is.

It makes my day when someone approaches me after church on Sunday morning to tell me how the hymns and anthems resonated with the Lessons and the sermon.

These words adorn a poster designed by Marisa Holliday, Communications Director. The question is printed in bold letters next to a striking image of our church building. A gorgeous blue sky borders the top.

Every noon on Wednesdays, and before the Sunday Eucharists, we hear the glorious Bethesda Tower Bells ringing.

Few things are more enjoyable than a summer evening spent at the ballpark.
