Homily

The Rev. George Adamik reflects on the how the disciples gather around a charcoal fire in scripture. In today’s gospel, John 21:1-19, Jesus meets with the fishermen around a charcoal fire, and in the days leading up to the crucifixion, there is a gathering around a charcoal fire as Peter denies Jesus. The candle light in today’s services is symbolic of that charcoal fire light.
