Living in Love to Feel and Spread God’s Joy

May 9, 2021 by ReverendAmanda

As a parent now, I have come to understand the definition of love, joy, and motherhood very differently than I used to, which means when I think of celebrating Mother’s Day, I understand it as honoring more than just the act of having given birth. Mother’s Day is about the love of mothers and that … [Read more…]

Seeking the Inspiration of the Spirit

May 17, 2020 by ReverendAmanda

If you had to define a Christian to someone, what words would you use? (Invite congregation to help) When Bill and I first started dating, my father-in-law had a very specific idea of what a Christian was based on his experiences as a Jewish man. And I must say his views were not flattering. Yet … [Read more…]

Stuck Inside: Not All is Lost

March 29, 2020 by ReverendAmanda

I will be honest. I don’t like being stuck in the house. I don’t like isolation. I have been social, since birth according to my parents, and so for me social distancing has been difficult. For many of you this has only been in place for a few weeks now. But for me with a … [Read more…]

All Are Called

January 19, 2020 by ReverendAmanda

Madeleine loves cell phones despite my husband and me trying to prevent her from using them at this young age. She already has figured out swiping and if I am not careful she will grab my phone hide behind the couch and swipe away all my notifications and then lock me out. She has gotten … [Read more…]

Share the Good News with Commitment

April 25, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

This morning, I would like to invite you to think about what makes a place inviting as I describe what I have experienced when it comes to an inviting place. When I was new to the Danbury area I was looking for a place to worship during Holy Week, as I did not yet have … [Read more…]

Participating in God’s Great Abundance: Honoring the Progress of the Spirit

January 20, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

Since the very beginning of Christianity, churches formed rule, regulations, and ways to try to control and understand the movement of the Spirit in the lives of those who call themselves Christian. When I was in college, I attended a lot of different churches from various Christian traditions and what stood out to me is … [Read more…]

“May God Bless God’s People with Peace”

May 27, 2018 by ReverendAmanda

When I was in middle school, my eldest brother was sent on active duty to Saudi Arabia. I remember sending letters, and receiving broken up phone calls while he was a way. He said it was so hot that no work could be done during the day and so to pass the time they captured … [Read more…]

Being Number One: Seeking to Be First in Love

May 6, 2018 by ReverendAmanda

When I was a little girl, my brother Jason and I used to argue with one another about who was smarter. And now I see that same type of competitiveness among my nephews. It is what drives us to better ourselves in the best of times. Most recently my oldest nephew has decide, as both my … [Read more…]

One Flock: One Community United by Love

April 22, 2018 by ReverendAmanda

When you imagine Jesus, what does Jesus look like, what does he act like? (Let Congregation answer) I often imagine this well spoken man, a brave man, not the poorest of the poor but not wealthy. I tend to imagine Jesus very much being like me. I imagine him as the ultimate comforter and these … [Read more…]

Called to a New Life

April 8, 2018 by ReverendAmanda

When we think of change: whether it is in the world, our careers, or our personal lives, what comes to your minds? Change can be exciting but it can also be a time full of anxiety and dread for many. Change can be frightening because we can’t always predict what will come next or how … [Read more…]
