Sunday Sermon, The Rev. Kristin Kaulbach Miles: "The Seeds of Tomorrow”

“What must we do to sow seeds of peace that can grow into shelter in our times?” asks Mother Kristen in her Sunday sermon. Jesus wants us to expand our way of seeing so that our way of living can follow, she tells us. Through his parable about a small seed that grows into protection for birds, he seeks to awaken our imaginations to the “wonder and the mystery and the miracle of what we don’t know.” When we’re stuck and don’t see where new life is, Mother Kristen asks us to receive the blessing of Psalm 20: “May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble, send you help, strengthen you.” She adds, “And may you see that seeds have tomorrow built into them.”
