This is the Sunday we celebrate the baptism of Jesus and remember our own baptism. We remember how it can free us to be the people which God intended for us to be.
For a number of reasons, some of us need to be set free from our old lives. Some of us are unhappy with where we are in our faith journey. Some of us have made grievous mistakes along the way. The waters of Christian baptism symbolize the opportunity for every child of God: to make a new beginning. To be set free.
Coming up
In the next few weeks, we've got special music for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day/Human Relations Sunday, and we're getting ready for Black History Month in February, where all the choral and bell anthems will be Spirituals. There'll also be guests galore in February! Don't miss a Sunday!
