Finding Peace in the Ordinary

29 Jan 2026

This past Sunday, as I watched our congregation gather for morning prayer, I was struck by something beautifully ordinary: the gentle murmur of familiar voices, the soft creak of wooden pews, the winter sunlight streaming through our stained glass windows.

In our fast-paced world, we often overlook these quiet moments of grace. Yet it's precisely in the ordinary—in the simple act of gathering together, in the rhythm of shared prayer, in the warmth of community—that God's presence becomes most tangible.

The season of Epiphany reminds us that Christ's light shines not only in dramatic revelations but in the everyday faithfulness of our lives. As we continue our journey through this season, I invite you to notice the sacred in the simple: in your morning cup of tea, in a kind word to a stranger, in the faithful showing up, week after week.

These ordinary moments are not interruptions to our spiritual life—they are the very fabric of it.
