Can’t Have One Without the Other
December 23, 2020
A sermon on Luke 1: 26-38 & 46-55 So there’s a traditional vision of Mary, the Mother of Jesus in the world. She was gentle and meek and mild. She didn’t raise her voice or question authority. She was demure and knew her place in the world – a lower, humble place. She was the epitome of peaceful countenances all over … [Read more...]
A Seed Sown in Darkness
December 23, 2020
A Sermon on Psalm 126 There have been those who say that 2020 has been our own version of exile, where we wait for God to save us from one another and from ourselves, from the ways we have not cared for one another, wreaked havoc on our earth, stolen from those who already had little to build our own little kingdoms. But our kingdoms have not … [Read more...]

A Sermon from Mark 1: 1-8 Mark jumps right to the good news about it all – there is another one on the way who is coming to make it all right.

December 9, 2020
A Sermon from Luke 17: 11-19 So, I totally missed the whole murder hornet thing this year.

But this story about healing keeps adding more and more to Jesus' healing of ten people with what was then … [Read more...]
There was an Airplane…
October 23, 2020
I took a week off from writing so I could “retreat” to the mountains for prayer. I spent five days with 90 of my closest contemplative friends, and yet I was completely alone. Because, of course, the other 89 were far away on Zoom, in their homes or in other retreat settings around the world. The resort I stayed at was lovely and … [Read more...]
Meet Our Three Beene Salad
October 1, 2020
Hi. I'm Rev. Mary Beene. I have been the pastor here at Windsor Presbyterian Church for seven months now, so I think it's time to start writing on the Pastor's Page. This has been one of those "important, but not urgent" tasks that keeps falling to the bottom of the "to do" list. So I thought maybe if I talked about something I love, I'd move it … [Read more...]
