An Invitation to Worship This Week
January 12, 2025
10:30 a.m.
In Luke’s passage people are filled with expectation. They hoped for a Savior, a Messiah. They wondered if John the Baptist was the Messiah. John said he wasn’t. John spoke of someone superior to him who would baptize with more than just water. The Messiah would baptize with Holy Spirit and fire. At the baptism of Jesus, a voice came from heaven and says to Jesus, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”
In Isaiah we hear God encouraging Israelites not to fear while they are held captive in Babylon. God loves them and calls them precious. They are promised freedom for a homecoming. God says that they are redeemed and called by name to fulfill his purposes for the world.
Our expectations can be met or exceeded. Our expectations can fall short of reality and lead to disappointment. What can we expect from God? What can we expect from each other? What can we expect from ourselves? Can we courageously live into God’s promised expectations? As we do our best to follow God’s Son, Jesus, will God be well pleased?

We hope you’ll join us this Sunday for Worship at 10:30 a.m., where we will celebrate the Baptism of our Lord.

Plastic Cap Recycling
The plastic cap recycling program was such a great success. We thank everyone who contributed and helped in this effort. It is sad that it is over, but we made a large impact and helped to provide recycled plastic benches and picnic tables on our own property and around Washington County.
