The Very Rev Tom Purdy - February 9, 2025

In today's sermon at Christ Church, Fredercia, we reflect on the interplay of failure and transformation—whether it's in the story of a century-old department store in Lancaster, PA, or in the biblical tales of Isaiah, Paul, and the first disciples. From the façade of the former Watt & Shand building, now a thriving hotel, to the fishermen called to cast their nets into deep, chaotic waters, we explore how God calls us not despite our failures but through them.

Life, like faith, isn't about erasing the past but building on what endures. Join us as we consider how God's grace equips us to navigate change, embrace our imperfections, and answer the call to deeper waters.
