The Light of Christ has come! May God be with you all.
The season of Epiphany celebrates the ministry of Jesus
while he was with us on earth. We hear of his miracles,
learn details of his ministry, and hear his teachings. Not
surprisingly we begin this season with the first event in
Jesus’ ministry, namely his baptism by John. In the waters
of the Jordan, Jesus is revealed as the beloved Son of God.
Through this great epiphany, Jesus fulfills all righteousness
and becomes the servant of God who will bring forth justice
and be a light to the nations. In the waters of baptism we too
are washed by the Word, anointed by the Spirit, and named
God’s beloved children. Our baptismal mission is to proclaim
good news to all who are oppressed or in need of God’s
healing. The Light of Christ has come!
May God be with you all.
*A reminder that our Annual Congregation Meeting will be
held this Sunday, January 11th immediately following our
Worship Service.*
