 St. Paul's Epistle |
| January 5, 2017
This Sunday, January 8th 1st Sunday after the Epiphany In the waters of the Jordan, Jesus is revealed as the beloved Son of God. Through this great epiphany, Jesus fulfills all righteousness and becomes the servant of God who will bring forth justice and be a light to the nations. In the waters of baptism we too are washed by the Word, anointed by the Spirit, and named God's beloved children. Our baptismal mission is to proclaim good news to all who are oppressed or in need of God's healing.
Holy Communion - 11 AM All are welcome to receive Communion!
Sunday's Readings: Isaiah 42:1-9 Psalm 29 Acts 10:34-43 Matthew 3:13-17
Sunday's chancel flowers: are given to the glory of God. |

Confession of Peter
Wednesday, January 18, 2017
Today the church remembers the apostle Peter's great acknowledgement of Jesus as "the Christ, the Son of the living God." This festival serves as a fitting beginning to the week in which we particularly pray that all Christians might be united in faith and witness.
Henry, Bishop of Uppsala, martyr, died 1156

When Erik, King of Sweden, determined to invade Finland for the purpose of converting the people there to Christianity, Henry went with him. Henry is recognized as the patron saint of Finland.
Agnes, martyr, died around 304
Saturday, January 21, 2017
Agnes was a girl of about thirteen living in Rome. The details of her martyrdom are not clear, but she gave witness to her faith and was put to death as a result, most likely by the sword. The church has honored her as one of the chief martyrs of her time.
