Something New Is Coming - and It's For You

Faith In Everyday Life

There is a question I get asked more than almost any other — not in church, but everywhere else. At the grocery store, at school pickup, at neighborhood gatherings. People find out I'm a priest and they ask, sometimes directly and sometimes sideways: how do I make my faith feel real on the days when I'm not in church?


It's the right question. And I've been thinking about how to answer it — not just in a sermon, not just in a moment, but in something people can hold on to, return to, share with a friend.


So we built something.


Twelve articles. Four series. One question: what does it mean to follow Christ not just on Sunday, but on every ordinary day of the week?


Starting this month, Sts. MM&M is launching Faith in Everyday Life — a new blog series written for our whole congregation. Twelve articles across four series, each one exploring what it means to follow Christ not just on Sunday, but in the grocery store, at the dinner table, in the neighborhood, in the seasons of the year.


This is not a theology course. It is not a Bible study. It is, I hope, something closer to a letter — from a friend who happens to know a lot of theology, written for real people living real lives in Coral Springs, Florida,  and beyond, in 2026.



THE FOUR SERIES

I

The Sacred in the Ordinary

Incarnation & everyday life

II

The Book of Common Prayer as a Way of Life

Liturgy & spiritual formation

III

Faith in the Public Square

Justice & Anglican tradition

IV

Seasons of the Soul

The liturgical calendar & transformation


Each article is short enough to read over coffee — around 800 to 1,000 words — and ends with a simple reflection question or practice to carry into the week. They are written to be accessible whether you have been Episcopalian your whole life or walked through our doors for the first time last Sunday.


They are also written to be shared. If something moves you, forward it to a neighbor. Print it for a friend who has been meaning to come back to church. Leave a copy on the break room table at work. These articles exist for the people inside our walls and the people just outside them.

My prayer is that something in these pages meets you exactly where you are — on a Tuesday, in the ordinary, wondering if God is anywhere nearby.


The answer is yes. Always yes.

Grace and peace,

Father Lee+

The case for church is not that it's the best available provider of spiritual goods. The case is that it's trying to do something different that can't be done alone.
