IN WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY
"The Magnificat"
Last week, Rev. Wendy kicked off our new series on the Book of Luke talking about the importance and the power of testimony. This week, we’ll hear the testimony of none other than Jesus’ own mother, Mary. What she has to say is equal parts beautiful and, as we’ll discover, subversive.

Prayer of the Week
O God, you spoke your word and revealed your good news in Jesus, the Christ. Fill all creation with that word again, so that by proclaiming your joyful promises to all nations and singing of your glorious hope to all peoples, we may become one living body, your incarnate presence on the earth. Amen.
