As we look ahead to Sunday’s Scripture from John 1, we reflect on Jesus as the Lamb of God and begin preparing our hearts for the season of Lent. May we find beauty in the waiting and hope in God’s saving love.

This Sunday we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord—a time to remember our baptism, reaffirm our vows, and give thanks for God’s covenant grace. 💧✨

During worship, you’ll be invited to take a small stone as a tangible reminder of God’s unfailing love and the promises made in baptism. 🤍

Remember your baptism as we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord with reaffirmation, reflection, and thanksgiving for God’s covenant grace.
