A Note on Halloween

by | Oct 28, 2024 | New | 0 comments

Halloween began as a religious holy day, one of three: All Hallows Eve, All Saints and All Souls. It is certainly now a secular holiday, based on many old tales of spooks and goblins from old traditions left over from our European ancestors. Today, it's a fun family day, and I don't think we are being non-Christian by enjoying the festivities that come about on this day: candy, costumes (my family is all dressing up as M&M's and giving out candy in our driveway), and children's smiles. Let it be a safe day, but do not forget that we should not mix our faith traditions with secular events. It's something to be concerned about even at Christmas, which is becoming more secular. The Christmas items are already on the shelves. Dress up, have fun, enjoy the company of friends, and be safe.

 

HAVE A BLESSED AND SAFE WEEK EVERYONE. Happy Halloween!

Through thanksgiving, the Samaritan received not only cleansing but true spiritual wholeness.

The Good Samaritan teaches us that Christian love is more than feeling sympathy or performing respectable religious duties. Because Christ has first shown mercy to us, we are called to cross the road, draw near to those in need, and make His love visible through acts of compassion.

Ephphatha: Hearing God’s Voice Above Life’s Noise

by | August 23, 2026 | Trinity | 0 Comments

In this Trinity 12 sermon on Mark 7:31-37, Fr. Dan reflects on Jesus healing the deaf man and connects the miracle to modern spiritual deafness caused by constant noise, distraction, and technology. Christ’s command, “Ephphatha” (“Be opened”), becomes a call for Christians to seek silence, hear God’s voice, and be transformed by His grace.
