INSTALLATION CELEBRATION... AND A POTLUCK!

Pastor William is going to be officially installed as our interim pastor at our February 11 worship service. We will be joined by Pastor Jonathan Hemphill that day as well. Bring your favorite dish to share, and let's have some great fellowship!

Transfiguration Sunday

The Sundays after Epiphany began with Jesus’ baptism and end with three disciples’ vision of his transfiguration. In Mark’s story of Jesus’ baptism, apparently only Jesus sees the Spirit descending and hears the words from heaven. But now Jesus’ three closest friends hear the same words naming him God’s Beloved. As believers, Paul writes, we are enabled to see the God-light in Jesus’ face, because the same God who created light in the first place has shone in our hearts to give us that vision. The light of God’s glory in Jesus has enlightened us through baptism and shines in us also for others to see.

Ash Wednesday Services

We will have two Ash Wednesday services on Wednesday, February 14. The first service, at 11:00 a.m., will be a Service of the Word and imposition of ashes. The second service, at 7:00 p.m., will be a Divine Service and imposition of ashes.
