The Church of the Holy Comforter, Richmond Virginia, in the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. The title of this blog comes from the book of the same name by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In Life Together, Bonhoeffer describes Christian community as a gift from God. Our church is a gift from God for those who take part in the life of our faith community and a gift to those we serve in Christ's name. This blog is about our life together as the members and friends of Holy Comforter.

Sermon from the 2nd Sunday of Advent

Sermon from the First Sunday of Advent
Keep Awake
How can a consideration of the 2nd advent of Christ, the Second Coming, help us to prepare to celebrate the 1st advent of Christ, Christmas? What are we as Episcopalians to make of the apocalyptic readings found in the Bible?

Sermon from Sunday Nov. 24th
ONE Sunday
We had our ONE Sunday on November 24th. This Sunday was the last Sunday in Pentecost and is called Christ the King Sunday or the Reign of Christ Sunday. We focused on the Millennium Development Goals as being a part of proclaiming and working for the reign of God on earth. We had an offering of over $600 for Bread for the World.
