November Virtual Pulpit Supply, Transgender Day of Remembrance

We are delighted to share that we are continuing to provide Virtual Pulpit Supply on the last Sunday of every month. This month, on November 22, our preacher is the Rev. Alex Patchin McNeill, More Light's Executive Director.

How does it work?

Virtual Pulpit Supply is offered once a month, on the fourth Sunday of the month. To sign up, fill out the form below. By 5pm on the Friday before the last Sunday of the month, you will receive an email with a link to download a vide0 containing a welcome, scripture reading, sermon, and benediction.

The sermon will draw from the lectionary texts for the week, though you are welcome to download it at another time in the month   on another date if it works better for your congregation.

Sermon text: Ezekiel 34:11-16, 20-24; Matthew 25:31-46

Sermon title: TBA

Themes the sermon explores: As November 20 is also the annual celebration of the Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), the sermon will explore themes related to trans resilience and God’s heart for the marginalized and oppressed. As we turn from a contentious election cycle towards walking further on the path of justice what does transgender resilience have to teach us about how we move forward? With Ezekiel and Matthew as our guides, we will ask, “What does God’s reign mean for us, and what does God require of those who seek to follow Christ?”

Also! For more information and some worship planning ideas, check out our Transgender Day of Remembrance liturgy

There is no cost to download the sermon. However, to enable us to continue this ministry, we ask that you consider making a donation of $200 to More Light. You can donate to More Light on our website or by mailing a check to:
