Sermon for May 26, 2019 - "The Last Full Measure"

This Memorial Day weekend, Rev. Tom Blair discusses the choices made by others which have added to our Christian faith. First, of course, is Jesus, who laid down his life for for his friends, and for us. And there are countless others who have made profound sacrifices that, unseen by them, now benefit and enrich our faith. Through a "chain of heritage," we are connected to the first people who gathered together as Christians. As we live out the gift of love that began with Jesus, our own acts of reconciliation and invitation can make a lasting difference - in the Church and in the world around us - and extend that chain with "fruit that will last." (Bible readings - Psalm 67, John 15:12-17 NRSV)
