Could You Not Stay Woke?

“Stay awake and see all the ways God is partnering with us in these nightmares. Don’t sleep on God. Don’t sleep on those through whom God works. Don’t sleep on disability activists. Don’t sleep on angry, sick and tired black women. Don’t sleep on LGBTQIA folks who are never going back into those closets unless it’s to pull out something fabulous for their next drag show. Don’t sleep on children and teens creating the movements that will reform gun culture in America and move the needle on human made ecological carelessness and catastrophe. Don’t sleep on the mama bears of trans children. And if you are awake, why don’t you join us. There’s a long day’s work ahead and miles to go before we sleep.” Sermon by the Rev. Wil Gafney, PhD, from worship at 10:00 a.m. on the Palm Sunday, April 2, 2023 at All Saints Church, Pasadena. Readings: Matthew 21:1–11, and a Gospel Drama based on the Gospel according to Mark.
