Reflections on the occasion of our 25th Anniversary”: Hard to believe, but we began our shared ministry on the first Sunday of January 1993. Good time to look back and ahead.

Beethoven’s Life Lessons

This is not a sermon, or a lecture, about classical music (although his music will be mentioned). Nor is it a sermon about how his profound and sublime music changed my life and has been one of the very finest gifts I have ever received. It is a sermon about life – not only Beethoven’s life, but life in general – it’s great challenges and opportunities.
