BAPTISM OF OUR LORD SUNDAY!
Worship & Announcements
INTRODUCTION TO THE DAY
Today’s festival rejoices in God’s blessings. We recall and celebrate our adoption as God’s children, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and the promised company of almighty God when we “pass through the waters . . . the rivers . . . fire.” On this day the heavens open again for this assembly, and we receive the gift of God’s Beloved, Jesus, in bread and wine.
Lectionary:
Isaiah 43:1-7 When you pass through the waters, do not fear, for I am with you
Psalm 29 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters. (Ps. 29:3)
Acts 8:14-17 Prayer and laying on of hands for the Holy Spirit
