Epiphany: A Time to Learn
Transfiguration Sunday: A New Purpose Revealed
February 11, 2024 • Pastor Jim Mericle • 2 Kings 2:1–12, Mark 9:2–9
Today we celebrate the Transfiguration of our Lord as we look at the story in Mark and see how it is revealing who Jesus really is and inviting us to share in this revelation and discovering who we really are too.
The Value of Learning the Message
February 4, 2024 • Pastor Jim Mericle • Mark 1:29–39, Isaiah 40:21–31
In today's Gospel we hear of the power of Jesus' healing and restoring people to health and to their place in society. In both our readings we also are invited to learn what is the heart of the message Jesus is preaching to us - the Good News.
Responding to the Call
January 21, 2024 • Pastor Jim Mericle • Jonah 3, Mark 1:14–20
Today we hear the call of Jonah and Jesus to repent and respond to the call of God in our lives. How do we respond? We also will have communion served at worship so for those online, please have bread/crackers and wine/juice ready if you wish to receive communion.
Baptism: A New Beginning
January 7, 2024 • Pastor Jim Mericle • Genesis 1:1–5, Mark 1:1–11
As we begin a new year, it is good to start with the beginning of our faith journey which is captured in the Sacrament of Holy Baptism and remembers the Baptism of our Lord as God blessed him as he begin his ministry and blesses us in our ministry too. We will celebrate Holy Communion and also affirm our baptism.
