Sermons 2008

The act and art of preaching “the Word of God” is central in St. Bart’s worship and life. Our clergy tell us that they feel privileged to preach in a place of high expectation, open mindedness, and prayer. They work hard to listen to the Eternal and relate it to the Now. We archive about three years’ worth of these sermons here, printed editions as well digital audio versions. As always, for a $60 annual fee, we'll send you paper copies of sermons as they’re published. Click here to order.

To listen to the sermons simply click on the audio link. To download them to your computer and listen to them later or for listening on your mp3 player simply "right-mouse-click" on the link (PC) or "control-mouse-click" on the link (Mac) and "save target/link" to your computer.
