Dear Friends,

We celebrated Epiphany with joy and welcoming the Magi.  You can hear my sermon from Sunday (Click Here)

On Sunday January 13th we will welcome Duane Griffin as our guest teacher in the Pastor's Class at 9am.   Duane is a good friend and has recently authored a new book...

I know he will challenge and encourage us.  Don't miss this opportunity.

In the days ahead there will be many ways for you to connect, share, give, and live out your baptismal covenant.  This coming Sunday we will have a baptism (pray for Kyle as he prepares for this moment).  During this service we will all  renew the commitment of faith and piety, to be followers and disciples of Jesus. As I think about this there is great diversity in how we express our faith day by day but in doing so there is the foundational expression of loving God with all we are and loving our neighbors in the same way Jesus loves us.   

Are we growing in grace? Are we advancing in our knowledge of God? Are we studying the scriptures and  spending time in prayer?  Are we reaching out to others?  Are we helping those in need?  This is the Christianity we are called to and in living this way we make a difference.

This update, offers you many opportunities to get involved and I pray you will find a place where your faith is stretched to do more.   The column on the left and the section below details new classes, offerings and opportunities for fellowship, study, prayer and more. Join us... 
 
in the mission,
Fr. Jon+
