I Will Be With You

SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 43: 1-7; Luke 3:15-17, 21-22 (NRSVue)

Water and fire flow through these passages. Both elements have the power to destroy and the power to sustain life. In God’s hands, water and fire are signs of the Holy Spirit. God’s love keeps us safe and secure. As we hear the story of Jesus’ baptism, we remember that we too are baptized and dwell safe in God’s loving embrace.

Arise, Shine…Let Your Light Shine

SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 60: 1-6; Matthew 2: 1-12 (NRSVue)

The Word has become flesh and dwelt among us.
Let Christ’s light shine in the darkest corners of your life.
Let Christ’s love shine in the darkest corners of our world.
Do not fear, God is with us.
Let your light shine. Alleluia!
