Scripture Readings

 

New International Version (NIV) 

 

 



Hebrews 12:1-2, 12-13

 

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

12 Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13 "Make level paths for your feet,"[a] so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.

Mark 1:9-13

The Baptism and Testing of Jesus
9 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased."

12 At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, 13 and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted[a] by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.

Our Mission Statement

TO ENABLE each individual to define personal religious beliefs,

TO WORSHIP in prayer, music, reading and interpretation of scripture with speakers from a variety of backgrounds,

TO NURTURE each other in spiritual growth, while respecting a diversity of beliefs,

TO SHARE with and support each other in the daily and extraordinary events of our lives,

TO HELP those in need both inside and outside our congregation.

WE WELCOME anyone to worship with us and become part of our extended Christian family.
