Love Persevering, by Rev. Dr. Shelly Wood

Old Presbyterian Meeting House — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The meaning of Easter is not about bunnies and eggs, baked ham and chocolate. Easter is not easy. It is the story of a miracle that we do not fully understand, or can fully comprehend. It’s the story of grief.

What is grief? It is love persevering.

The Paradox of Palm Sunday, by Rev. Dr. Shelly Wood

Old Presbyterian Meeting House — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 11:00:00 +0000

The people really wanted someone to come and save them. They wanted a king to conquer their oppressors. What they got was a man riding on a donkey, who ate with sinners, drew in the sand, and welcomed the children. It was a makeshift parade of peasants who cut branches off of trees and placed their dirty coats on the ground.

On the other side of town, the empire came on their magnificent horses, their golden shields gleaming the sunlight, their swords clinking at their sides.

One parade dignified and regal. The other was rather pathetic and simple.

Which parade would you attend?

Living Water, by Rev. Dr. Shelly Wood

Old Presbyterian Meeting House — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 16:05:00 +0000

Jesus talks longer to the woman at the well than he does to anyone else in all of the gospels. Longer than he talks to any of his disciples. She is the first person he reveals himself to in the gospel of John. Who is this nameless woman?

The Night Walker, by Rev. Dr. Shelly Wood

Old Presbyterian Meeting House — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 17:05:00 +0000

Nicodemus came in the night to get answers to the questions that everyone assumed he already knew. He came in the night so his colleagues would not see him going to Jesus. It must have taken courage for this esteemed Pharisee to seek understanding from Jesus.

Scripture Readings: Psalm 121; https://pcusa.org/devotion/revised-common-lectionary/2026/03/01#reading-psalm-121-2 John 3:1-17; https://pcusa.org/devotion/revised-common-lectionary/2026/03/01#reading-john-31-17-4
