Lea Ann Walker Celebration of Life
We gather to celebrate the remarkable life of our sister in Christ, Lea Ann Walker.
Bringing It Home
Our reading from Luke picks up where we left off last Sunday. Jesus was in his hometown of Nazareth where he was initially received a warm, enthusiastic welcome. But that welcome quickly turned to anger and Jesus narrowly escaped being thrown off a cliff. What caused the uproar from Jesus’ hometown folks? And when or how does that kind of anger get provoked in us?
Fulfilled
What some have called Jesus’ inaugural address gives us insight into the type of messiah Jesus came to be. He boldly proclaimed that the words of Isaiah were “fulfilled” in him TODAY. What does that mean? And are there ways that the Word of God is fulfilled in and through us today as well?
Blessed Are the Meek
Today Rev. Dan guides us through the beatitudes, inviting us to contemplate what it means to be “meek” in Christ’s realm and how that is a blessing.
Baptized Daily
Today is called Baptism of the Lord Sunday and its texts invite us to contemplate the daily nature of our baptisms. If we follow the guidance of Martin Luther and “make repeated use our baptism,” how might that impact who we are, how we live and how we navigate life’s ups and downs?
Words for the Beginning: The Road Isn’t Straight
Join us for Epiphany Sunday as we come alongside the wise ones who embarked on a long journey with many unexpected twists and turns as they followed a star in search of the newborn Christ. What can we learn from the Magi’s journey? How can we find grace for ourselves and others along the many roads of our lives that take us in unexpected directions?
