In this week's homily, Reverend Geoffrey Hoare explores the themes of abundance and scarcity through the lens of John 6:1-21. Reflecting on the 50th anniversary of the Philadelphia 11, the first women ordained in the Episcopal Church, he highlights their courage and the hardships they faced. Reverend Hoare then shares a poignant story from a Sudanese refugee camp, where even in the face of extreme scarcity, the act of giving reveals the true nature of God's abundant love. He challenges us to embrace an attitude of generosity and to see abundance not in material wealth but in the richness of giving and love. Join us to discover how we can all be heroes by living more freely, hopefully, and generously. Follow for more thought-provoking and inspiring sermons.
