Fr Trey: April 2008 Archives
Here is yesterday's sermon:
(11 min 52 seconds - I got long winded!)
Easter - VI.mp3

Easter - VI.mp3
Easter V - was not recorded well due to the priest (me) forgetting to unmute the lapel mic.
Yesterday was also the Reedy River Convocational meeting- I somehow suspect I'll be asked to keep my mouth shut after yesterday.
I will be taking down all old sermons next monday. I'm going to try and free up as much space as possible.
And with that, I remain,

For those of you who wish to comment but don't wish to create a MT account-
please feel free to drop me a line at rector***(at)***standrewsgreenville.org - removing the *** and using the correct symbol for (at). I'd love to know who the Brooklyn, Southern California, and Winston-Salem readers are.
Sunday's sermon will be up at some point tomorrow. I'm learning first hand exactly how busy one priest can truly be. That being said, I had a marvelous meeting with the pastor of Pendleton Street Baptist Church. They are our next door neighbors and have been for over 100 years. I have found Pastor Price to be an incredibly kind and Godly man who was not only very hospitable, but has a great deal of church planting experience. I hope that our two churches will be able to share some ministries together.

I did not get the CD after mass today that has the service recorded on it. This is due to the fact we had vestry and a luncheon. I will post the sermon by tomorrow evening if the CD has been burned.

Here is the file from my first Sunday sermon at St. Andrew's:
First Sunday at St. As.mp3
I am working with the CD from April 1 to try and increase the audio to put the sermon from April 1 up here on the website- but the audio was so low that it may not be possible.

Over the past several years, it seems that in one way or another I have moved every two years or so- including an international move. Yet this move to Greenville, I think, has been one of the hardest. It is never easy for a Texan to leave Texas. The anticipation of one's first rectorship also weighs heavily on the soul. Truly- once you arrive the real work begins in multiple senses. There is the feeling that the house is occupied by a family of boxes, knowing that one of them holds the magical power cord that I have desperately been searching for- others hold stuff that I thought I had thrown away. Being a packrat will do that to you, I suppose. Yet even with the unpacking and the great question, "Now where in the world do I put this?" - the anticipation of a new parish is forefront in the mind. I suddenly understood why King Solomon prayed for wisdom- it is a huge undertaking and a most awesome responsibility.
Last night, however, was more than I could have dreamed of- it was truly the Lord's doing and for that I give thanks. It was a wonderful affirmation of God's call to me to serve the people of St. Andrew's. The congregation is incredibly friendly, funny, and gracious. It is truly inclusive of all of God's children and for that I give thanks. Presiding at St. Andrew's last night was a treat. It was incredibly comfortable and just felt right. It is something that I will cherish and will continue to look forward to for many years to come.
