The "Recommend This Streaming Audio to Friend via E-mail" function of the sermon pages still isn't working. Something about changing the page address for each sermon breaks the anti-spam function. Specifically the anti-spam image doesn't appear.
I hadn't realized that the function had been sending people to either a blank error page or to Pastor Lynice's Easter sermon.

So for now, if you want to invite someone to hear a sermon, I suggest copying the URL in the address bar of your browser and pasting it into the mail message with a personal note.

Pastor Lynice's sermon from this morning, Missing the Point, is now online.

The Sermon Archive is back! (Whew!)

Amelie Hansen's sermon from this morning is online. I'm hoping to restore the Sermon Archive (an easier-to-navigate version) early this week.
I was able to figure out how to make the Recommend this Sermon to a Friend function to work.

Finally.

I tested it by sending myself a notification and it works fine now.

The Calendar of Events is live and working. Using of course, the Google Calendar embed. You can subscribe to the Calendar by clicking the subcribe link.

To quote the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Don't Panic.

Apparently the experimentation with the Calendar knocked the archived sermons somewhere.

Where exactly I don't know, but I'm working on it.

Made a few navigational changes, particularly in the Rent Space section. Fewer pages that went nowhere, hopefully. I'm rather obviously working on the Calendar problem. I did get the CMSimple calendar plugin to load. Up next is figuring out how to call the Events page something besides "somepage" without the entire page disappearing! After that it should be CMSimple to add event entries. Stay tuned and in the meantime check out the new News at First.

Oops. I had no idea that the "Email this sermon to a friend" function on the sermon pages wasn't working! They seem to be either pointing to a blank template or to Pastor Lynice's Easter sermon. The problem in template for the pages (each sermon has its own folder of pages to make it work.) Hopefully I'll fix this soon. In the mean time you can copy the URL in the Address Bar of your browser and paste that link in your email to your friends.

For example Webb's sermon is at:

Thanks to Webb for pointing this out to me.

Pastor Ama, who is on sabbatical and maternity leave, and her husband have created a family website with great photos of baby Sergio

Grant Kinney's sermon is up. I also tweaked the Sermons Online page a bit, adding a link to the most recent sermon is near the top of the page. Got an error trying to create a border around the sermon archive, so for now abandoned that idea.

Last June, second-year Pacific School of Religion seminarian Ryan Baum preached, but the CD recorder wasn't working . This morning I finally put his sermon, The Freedom of a Christian, online (Thanks, Diego, for transferring the audiocassette to digital format!).

I'm looking forward to getting a photo from him (and from Meghan Bean Smith) to add to the sermon page.
