Welcome back to the Sacristy!

"What I want out of each and every one of you is a hard target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse, and dog house in that area.”  — Tommy Lee Jones as Sam Gerrard in The Fugitive

Thank you for joining us for our fourth and final meditation on Advent, and our last episode 2023! We begin this episode (sans Deacon Thom Crowe) by discussing our favorite non-Christmas, Christmas movies, coming dangerously close to transforming the Sacristy into a Tommy Lee Jones fan podcast.

Then, amidst constant complaints about how tired we are, we manage to squeak out a discussion of the propers for the Fourth Sunday of Advent. Nevertheless, we trust that you will find our discussion encouraging and edifying as you prepare to the celebrate the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We hope you've been encouraged and edified by our work! Christ be with you!

Thanks for joining us for our series of Advent meditations! After we talk about our favorite (and least favorite) church snacks, we dive into considering some of the great hymnody of this Advent season. Hark a thrilling voice is sounding! Its Deacon Thom Crowe with us again! Here’s the poem he mentioned during the course of our conversation:

Make ready, O Bethlehem; for Eden hath been opened for all. Prepare, O Ephratha; for the Tree of life hath blossomed forth in the cave from the Virgin; for her womb did appear as a supersensual paradise in which is planted the divine Plant, whereof eating we shall live and not die as Adam. Verily, Christ shall be born, raising the likeness that fell of old. -Troparion for the Forefeast of the Nativity of Christ

It's our favorite time of year! That's right, the season of preparation and expectation called Advent.

We hope our little podcast can become part of your Advent devotions. We also pray that Deacon Thom will come back soon because without his helpful guidance he has to edit a lot more mistakes and dumb jokes to make us sound good at our jobs.

Welcome back to the Sacristy! 

Thanks for joining us in our series about the Cosmos as Temple! After we check in on each other’s Thanksgiving plans, we conclude our meditation by exploring how Jesus is the fulfillment of the Temple themes we’ve been exploring. May he guide us by his presence and find in us a mansion prepared for himself! Our prayer is that it helps begin or continue your way down another avenue for union with Jesus. We also pray that Deacon Thom will come back soon because we are a mess without him.

Welcome back to the Sacristy! 

We’re continuing a little series about the Cosmos as Temple! After some mild attempts at banter, we return to our meditation on how the universe is ordered as a resting place for God’s presence and praise. This week we’re paying some attention to the idea of sacred geography and space. As we said last week, it’s kind of a lot! Our prayer is that it helps begin or continue your way down another avenue for union with Jesus.

Welcome back to the Sacristy! After some pop culture confessions, mostly having to do with Taylor Swift, we’re starting a series of conversations about the Cosmos as Temple. It’s…a lot. And there’s a ton of stuff out there to read. You’ll hear about that in the episode! Anyway, we’re excited to talk about how God has ordered the universe as a venue for his glory and worship. After we chat about that, we’ll offer our sermon first pass.

On this first episode of a new season of the Sacristy…. What what? New content from an obscure and dormant podcast? Truly we serve a God of wonders!

David lost his microphone until last week. They are joined by Deacon Thom Crowe, who is helping them stay on track as a producer.
