Signs and Powers
SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 42: 1-9; Matthew 3: 13-17 (NRSVue)
Today we are centering the worship service around the connection between Jesus’ baptism, our baptisms, and our baptismal identity as the Body of Christ. Baptism is about initiation into community with God and one another, and Jesus shows us the way into this community through his baptism.

Give You As a Light
As we move deeper into the season after Epiphany, we continue to explore the glory God reveals among us. While we often emphasize Jesus as the revelation of God’s glory, this week’s Old Testament reading from Isaiah 49 invites us to consider how God reveals glory through us, God’s servants.
SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 49- 1-7; John 1: 29-42 (NRSVue)
