From January 28-February 2, 2012 I’ll be preaching a mission at Epiphany Cathedral, Venice, Florida. The theme is FOLLOWING JESUS CHRIST THROUGH THE GOSPELS.  Each evening at 7 PM from Monday to Thursday, I’ll reflect on an extended passage from the gospels. My goal is to better appreciate the scriptures as a source of faith and knowing Jesus Christ.

I’ll be putting up material from the mission each day that might help  somebody who can’t get to the mission or who may have missed something.

Here’s a Youtube Video for Monday’s evening service.
