- 12/16/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Vessel of LightMary, the one chosen to carry the Son of God, the Light of the world. What implications did saying 'yes' to the angel of God have on her life?

Without light to lessen the darkness […]

- 10/28/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Stewardship of Our WordsSticks and stones can break our bones but words can never hurt us - the rhyme of childhood which is incredibly misleading! We live in a culture of warring words that leave hurts and scars far more painful than any stick or stone we might be able to throw - how can we be better stewards of the words we use? The scriptures were James 3:5b-12 and James 1:19-20 […]
