And, welcome to the first Sunday after the Epiphany - The Baptism of our Lord
The texts for the day may be accessed here:
We begin with the beginning of one of the most familiar passages in the Bible, the opening verses of the first of the creation myths found in Genesis. There is so much going on here and fans of the Babylonian story of Tiamat and Marduk (are there fans?) know that they are lurking here, but on a deeper foundational level... well, can't spoil the plot. The lesson from Acts - those who are taking our adult ed course on the New Testament will note that Apollos is in Corinth while Paul is away elsewhere... there is a letter to the Corinthians in the works, I'll wager once Apollos leaves town. Finally, we read from the opening of Mark's gospel, and while the details differ from the stories told by Matthew, Luke and John, one wonders why the lectionary cut off the opening verse that pairs with the creation story.. 'The beginning of the Good News...' Seems a natural fit, but I wonder...
Our readers for Sunday are Lisa Herlihy (Genesis) and Deb Shupe (Acts), and our prayer leader is Cheryl Thompson The seventh lecture in our adult formation series - addressing worship, order and oversight in the churches established by Paul - begins at 11:30. (I would wager that the name of Apollos might drift in at some point)

January Trivia Night
Friday evening, January 8 at 7 PM is the time and date for our next Trivia showdown. This month's contest is entitled "2020 Hindsight" which will consist of numerous questions from past quizzes in 2020. (If only you had written them down and studied...)
So, come prepared for a New year's trivial walk down memory lane and we'll see who gets to raise that cup of kindness.... and the cup of bragging rights.
The game room will open at 6:40 so you have time to register your team or individual 'trivia' name and do some last minute posturing and/or trash talking with your opponents.
Here is the link:

Joint Epiphany Book Study:
We've had so much fun worshipping together that we thought we might try a little reading together.
Members of All Saints, Sunderland, St. Paul's, Prince Frederick, and Christ Church, West River, are invited to come together on Wednesday evenings in Epiphany - beginning January 13 - for a study of our Presiding Bishop's book, Crazy Christians.
Everything you need to know about time, how to order the book, and most importantly... the Zoom link that will lead you to the conversation, can be found by following this link: https://conta.cc/3hThcVG
News flash: During Lent we will gather once again as our own Dr. Sherrill Munn takes us into the book of Revelations. Stay tuned...
Hope you can join us.
