No matter who you are
or where you are on life's journey,
you're welcome here! 

Dear Friends,
   I hope you'll be in church this Sunday morning, January 12. It's Baptism of Christ Sunday, and we'll celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion. We'll gather around the traditional text for this day, Matthew 3:13-17. This time through the lectionary my attention is drawn to God's voice as Jesus emerges from the water. This is a blessing spoken not only over Jesus, but also over us, you and me. These words are important in our life of faith, and by extension the words we speak are important, too. I'm calling the sermon Sticks and Stones. Perhaps you know where I'm headed with it. In addition, our Band will lead us in a couple terrific songs, and our Choir will sing a beautiful anthem entitled, simply, Grace. I hope to see you here Sunday morning.
    Grace and Peace,
    Rev. Mark
