On Sunday we gathered again for worship in Eastertide, as we continue celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ and its aftermath. In addition to some good Easter music (and there's still more to come as the Easter season goes on), we also began this year's effort to raise money to support a medical clinic in Haiti. Some very good things are going at at Eastgate.
In the sermon, we considered the lessons of the TV program that inspired this month's sermon series, "Everything I Need to Know about Community I Learned from TV": Monk. The one-hour crime drama, featuring Tony Shalhoub as the OCD, but brilliant, Adrian Monk, concluded its run a few years ago, but lives on in reruns. As I shared in the sermon, which also incorporated the lessons of Jesus healing blind Bartimaeus, I think that the unique vision of communal support in Monk is something that the church needs to learn from and incorporate into our lives of faith.
If you missed Sunday's sermon, if you'd like to listen to it again, or if you'd like to share it with others, you can find an audio recording here.
