Worship with Tigard UMC In-Person or Online
Sunday, January 22, 2023 at 9:30 a.m.
This Sunday we will hear the Gospel of John's version of how the first disciples come to follow Jesus. It's a very different story than what we heard in Matthew last Sunday! What can we learn from that difference? How does the Gospel of John invite us into a different way of discovering what it means to become a disciple of Jesus Christ?

Pastor Jeremy's message is called "Hanging Out with Jesus." This Sunday, the Sanctuary Choir is back! Sandy will be at the piano, Jeff will play guitar and sing, and Rick will read scripture. Download the Sunday, January 22 worship bulletin here.
Childcare for children 5 and under is available starting at 9:15 a.m.
