"GOING HOME ANOTHER WAY"
MATTHEW 2:1-12 | DR. JIM BALDWIN
The Wise Men left their comfortable life of privilege and respect because they knew something was missing in their lives. They did not find the answers in things of the world or even in religion. It was only when they found Jesus that they were able to go home another way. Perhaps we can find the same thing as we come to worship the newborn king.
We worship together united by the Spirit of God present with each of us.
RESPOND THROUGH REFLECTION
  • What frustrations and disappointments are you feeling as we leave Christmas behind?
  • How can Jesus help you face a new year with anticipation?
RESPOND THROUGH GIVING
Trusting in God with all we have, we give to support the work of God's church because we believe in our mission to share God's love with our community and world in the name of Jesus. Give online or by mail. Giving allows us to keep being the church, even in the absence of our physical presence. Mail to: 411 Market Street, Wilmington, NC 28401. How To Give Online
RESPOND THROUGH CONNECTING
Do you have questions about being in a relationship with God? We would love to talk with you and help you begin or deepen your faith journey.
RESPOND THROUGH PRAYER
Gracious God, you have redeemed us through Jesus Christ, the first-born of all creation, whose birth we celebrate as the child of Bethlehem. Bless us with every spiritual blessing, that we may live as your adopted children and witness to your glory 
with unending praise and thanksgiving. Amen.
