St. David's United Church

God is on the move, whether the church is ready to move or not. The Spirit of God doesn’t wait for institutions to catch up. This is a restless God who has traveling in the toes. It would be impossible to be a step ahead of God. It would be dumb luck to keep pace with God. If we even sense the direction God is moving, we’re doing well. Can we perceive it?

“This is what I really want you to know…” I read these final few verses of John’s Gospel as if the author were saying that… “This is all you need to know… The point of the whole book is really just to tell you this”, he writes, “this is written so that you will have life.”

There’s something about the Christ that refuses to be pinned down, even by those who love him dearly. Not even death could contain that great Spirit. He slipped the tomb. Where did he go?

As the body is the soul’s address, the church is too. As the Body of Christ in the world, the church is the address of our collective soul. The sanctuary provides an oasis for healing. Here we pray together, sing and learn and play together. Here we grow together in the spirit of compassion; here we organize to go into the world offering grace to other bodies who hunger and thirst.
