In Jesus\u2019 Baptism, we are invited to reflect on an event from his life that affirms our hope in the promises of God.\u00a0 In the Christian Scripture the early Christians believed Jesus was the one who was bringing the light of God\u2019s justice and peace and freedom into a broken world. The season of Epiphany is not only a time to celebrate the light that has dawned; it is also a time to reclaim our hope in the promises of God.\u00a0 We will reflect on Jesus&#8217; Baptism story as found in Luke&#8217;s Gospel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our worship service begins at 10am on Sunday.
