This Sunday, we continue in our series on Known and Called – as we consider Jesus’ Baptism, and our baptism.

It is also Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday. He said, “Faith- baptism- is taking the first step when you don’t see the whole staircase!”

Can we discover what the icon of civil rights, who was also a Baptist preacher has to teach us about being “marked” with the waters of baptism?

United in the Power of Prayer

Update from Your Pastoral

& Congregational Care Team

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in our distress.

Therefore, we will fear nothing, even if the earth gives way

and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

even if the waters roar and foam

and the mountains tumble with their surging.

God is our refuge and strength."

~Psalm 46:1-3

We ask everyone to join us in prayer for:

Greg H * Jerry F * Dan M * David F * Carla P * Rudy A * Fabiola * Ginny * Scott B * Margaret I
