Baptism of the Lord Sunday

This week we hear the story of Jesus' baptism. An event that marked the beginning of Jesus' ministry. We will also celebrate a new beginning of ministry as we ordain and install our new officers at the 11:00 service. Together, we begin a new year of ministry together. We are reminded that God has claimed us all as God's beloved children and we are sent into ministry in God's name.
