Where Are You Adam?

"Where Are You Adam?"

Sermon by The Rev. Brad Landry

June 9, 2024


God can take something that is painful, that makes us afraid, and God can redeem it. God can transform it. And so theologians have spilled all this ink trying to explain how and the world did evil and sin come into the world when it was all created by a good and loving God? And it goes back to this, this gift of choice, this gift of of us having a say in the matter and God not exempting God's self from that suffering, but being able to enter into it and to redeem and transform that suffering. Remember when you feel that breeze in the evening, when you feel as if you have been hiding from God, or perhaps just distracted from God? That God is there calling out to you, where are you, Adam? Where are you? Eve I am here walking in your midst.

Our Annual Blessing of the Animals will be Wednesday, October 7 on the Terrell Commons grass area! Bring your lawn chair or blanket to enjoy a hot dog dinner together that starts at 5:30pm, blessing of the animals will be after we eat. The Blessing of the Animals is an annual ceremony celebrating the human-animal bond, originating as part of the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment. St. Francis was admired for his deep and genuine respect for all creatures and his belief in the interdependency of humans with the rest of creation. He was a fiery preacher, and not many wanted to hear his message so he preached to animals instead. This ceremony helps us to remember how important our animal companions are and how they show unconditional love for us. If you have an older less mobile pet, or maybe one that doesn't handle social gatherings very well, feel free to bring a picture of that animal and we are happy to bless those.
