St. James Episcopal – Sermon preached by Kaitlin Griffin, High School Graduate Class of 2017.
Good Morning. My name is Kaitlin Griffin. I am known as the youngest member of the Griffin family or America’s sweetheart to a small few.
As my graduation date approaches so does the end of my adolescence. So, I would like to acknowledge the last days of my childhood by preaching about…me. And of course, the great presence this church has on my life. But first me…

Veterans Day Sermon by Mark Di Ionno
Veterans Day, like Memorial Day, is a day of solemn remembrance and reflection. We gather, lay wreaths and pay homage to the men and women who fought our wars, preserved our way of life, served our nation in all corners of the world over a 241-period, from Bunker Hill in 1775 to the faraway Kurdish provinces of Northern Iraq, where U.S. Marines are battling ISIS to recapture the city of Mosul.

Tower of Power
Good morning friends. Today we are going to start with a party game called truth or dare. And since I am up here, which puts me in charge, I will pick which we will do. So on to truth!
We will start gently with the truth. How many of you like receiving gifts?
Okay, now how many of you have re-gifted a gift? Raise your hand.

There Are No Do Overs
This past Friday some middle schoolers were playing a game on our lawn, when conflict struck and I heard these words, “No fair… Do Over!”
It must have worked because there was no ensuing argument or name calling. The Do Over was invoked and apparently accepted.
Remember Do Overs? Wouldn’t that make life so simple?
YOU hurt my Feelings – Do Over
