Dear Friends,
I continue to be inspired by Maya Angelou’s words that appear on the cover for this Sunday’s bulletin. “While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God’s creation.”
This Sunday we will be reminded that we are God’s beloved creation as we celebrate the baptism of Jesus. As we’ve done in the past, we will reaffirm our baptismal promises in a special ritual during our worship services. Being named as God’s beloved is a gift, and although sometimes we don’t feel worthy, God’s love always has the last word.
Please join us on Sunday as we worship together at 8:00 a.m. in the Micah Chapel and 10:00 a.m. in the Meetinghouse or you can worship online.
The bulletin, large print bulletin and announcement slides are available on our website. You can watch any of our livestreamed or recorded services on our YouTube channel.
Friends, we belong to God, and we belong to each other. Thanks be to God!
Blessings,
Kate
