On Sunday, I preach again...
This Sunday, June 1st, the Sunday before Pentecost, I get to preach for the first time in my home church, St. Stephens in Edina. Pictured above is Minnehaha Creek running behind and around the back of the church, with haiku-champion Renee wading in the water.
I love having this opportunity, and fear it a little, too. I hope that many of my friends will come on that morning-- 8 or 10 am, at the corner of 50th and Wooddale.
As some of you know, I always preach from the gospel lesson, and the lesson for that morning is John 17:1-11:
Of all that, here is the part that grabs me: "And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world…" What a thing, to be left! We all know that feeling, don't we?

Problem with preaching from almost anything by John is that he supplies more substance than 20 minutes and a poem allow for. Hope you publish your sermon. Interested in your treatment of this complex text.
How does one become Haiku champion? Of course that was what stuck out to me the most in this post ... :) competitive much? Thanks for the update, I hope to be there for the sermon!
