Talitha Ministry for women meets on Mondays at 6 pm. The ministry name Talitha comes from Mark 5:41: "He took her by the hand and said 'Talitha Cumi' Little girl, I say to you, ARISE!" The purpose of this ministry is to create an atmosphere of trust among women, and a safe place to put away everyday labels to just be "God's little girls." | | | |

Scripture: Luke 3:21-23
Message: "Soul Reset"
Resetting your soul begins with remembering who you are. In baptism, God calls us beloved.
| |
As we have begun a new year, our new theme for worship is "Reset." God’s mercies are new every morning, but sometimes it’s easy for us to get stuck in the same old routine. This New Year let’s hit the “reset button,” so we can claim the fresh start God makes available to us. As we rediscover our true identity in the love of God, we will discover new purpose, and, guided by the compass of God’s values, head off in an exciting new direction! | | |

This Week's Prayer
Blessing
May your life be a river.
May you flow with the purpose
of the One who created
and called you,
who directs your course
and turns you ever
toward home.
May your way shimmer
with the light of Christ
who goes with you
who bears you up
who calls you by name.
May you move
with the grace of the Spirit
who brooded over
the face of the waters
at the beginning
and who will gather you in
at the end.
