SUMMARY:Easter Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sundays at 9:30 am — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nResurrection of our Lord — Easter Day\nHidden with Christ\nEaster turns the world upside down. It defies our expectations with hiddenness and bluntness: Mary does not recognize the resurrected Jesus (John 20:14)\, the good news is heralded by an earthquake and terrifying angels and is brought to the women of the church first\, rather than to the Twelve (Matt. 28:1-10). The radical reversals prophesied in scripture and revealed in Christ’s life and ministry culminate in the good news we proclaim today: Christ\, through death\, has triumphed over death. “The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone” (Ps. 118:22). \nEaster offers the mystical possibility of transformation in every moment. In this season\, what is dying and what is being born? For our communities? For our families? For our world? What is breaking open like a seed to die (John 12:24) so that new life might thrive? \nThe theme is framed candidly in Colossians: “You have died\, and your life is hidden with Christ in God (Col. 3:3). In the season of Easter\, we are invited to allow old husks to fall away so that Christ’s new life may emerge. This part of the resurrection story is strange\, unsettling. We are invited\, after all\, to share fully in Christ’s death as well as his resurrection (Rom. 6:5; 2 Cor. 4:10-11). Terrifying\, but in the mystery of the Holy Spirit’s work in us\, we receive it as hope (1 Peter 1:3). \nOn this Easter day\, we are honest about how God is stirring us to transformation\, and we may be called to faithfully lament the letting go. Almost simultaneously\, as we embody Christ’s resurrection in the present\, we celebrate it with great joy (Matt. 28:8). In our desire to be hidden in Christ’s abundant life (John 10:10)\, we can even name seasons of suffering as Christ’s resurrection emerging (Phil. 3:10). \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Good Friday
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 6 pm — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nGood Friday\nIt is Finished\nThroughout his ministry Jesus turned things on their heads: the last became first\, the poor were blessed\, the blind could see. In parable and miracle Jesus brought a dominion that was set against the kingdoms of this world. In the circumstances of his death\, he did away with the accepted structures of power and weakness\, justice and retribution. Jesus’ crucifixion was the ultimate manifestation of the paradox of the dominion of God: the king who only days before rode triumphantly into the royal city is crucified as a criminal. The Messiah is a suffering servant. The Son of God is willing to die so that we can live. \nJohn’s gospel tells the story of how God accomplished\, in Jesus\, the fulfillment of scriptural prophecy about the one who would bring God’s people into reconciliation with God’s own self. In the story of the passion\, Jesus’ inexorable journey toward the cross\, which is the culmination of this prophecy\, picks up speed. Then\, with Jesus’ dying breath\, the journey is over. With the words “It is finished\,” Jesus’ mission is complete. His passion and his suffering are finished; the centuries-long wait for the Messiah is finished. God’s ultimate disruption of our efforts to save ourselves\, and the astounding reversal of human expectations\, is accomplished. \nOn this day\, as we meditate on the consequences of God’s sacrifice\, the church proclaims the good news that the cross of Christ is not only necessary\, but also sufficient for our salvation. With the command of Maundy Thursday lingering in our ears and hearts\, Good Friday reminds us that the freedom to obey Jesus comes as a gift from God through the cross of Christ. At the cross\, our old life of captivity to sin is finished\, and our new life of discipleship begins \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Maundy Thursday
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 6 pm — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nMaundy Thursday\nAll You Need is Love\nJesus’ command today to love one another is not about having good feelings for each other or being “nice.” Jesus tells his disciples that they are to love one another “just as I have loved you.” By this definition\, love means compassion\, mercy\, and plenty of hard work. As we see in today’s gospel\, Jesus’ love is active in service and\, ultimately\, sacrifice. All we need is love\, but to love as Jesus loves is no easy thing. \nJesus’ love is also inclusive\, not meant only for the inner circle. Taken in the context of Jesus’ teaching and ministry\, his love\, and the love he has in mind for us\, is offered to all of humanity and\, in fact\, all of God’s creation. The world will know that the church follows Jesus not only by our behavior within our own community\, but also as we relate to the world. To love as Jesus loved is to cross boundaries\, to stand with the lowliest among us\, and to challenge the accepted ways in which the world does business. \nJohn’s is the only gospel in which Jesus does not institute the Lord’s supper at his last Passover with the disciples. At John’s last supper Jesus gives himself to them in a different way. His washing of his disciples’ feet is an enactment of his witness to the dominion of God: the first will be last; the lowly will be lifted up; whoever loves their life will lose it. This act of self-sacrifice\, one which prefigures his death on the cross\, is a living example of Jesus’ countercultural definition of love\, one which he passes on to the twelve and to us. Washed by Jesus in our baptisms\, we too are blessed with and challenged by God’s love in Christ and the command to share that sacrificial love with the whole world. \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Palm Sunday & Easter Egg Hunt
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nPalm Sunday\nEaster Egg Hunt immediately follows the worship service. This beloved tradition is open to all ages\, including teenagers. And yes\, the special teen egg hunt will be back for our teens. If you know…..you know. Register here so we can make sure we have enough eggs: tinyurl.com/phlcegghunt. Check with Mr. Ted for any questions.  \nTrue Humility\nThe servanthood of a teacher in Isaiah\, the outcast in the psalm\, those who bow down in Philippians: today’s readings teach humility. On this day we move from Christ’s triumphant ride on a humble donkey to the humiliation of the cross. The humility of the characters in the passion story is in question: Judas\, Pilate\, the Twelve\, chief priests and elders\, Barabbas\, the crowd\, the soldiers\, two bandits. Among other things\, their lack of humility is what brings about the passion of Christ. There is only one truly humble person in this story: Jesus the Christ. Matthew’s humble Jesus cries out from the cross to ask God why he has been forsaken. \nOnly in the stories of the resurrection do other humble characters appear: the centurion\, the women\, Joseph of Arimathea. A careful look at the complexity of humility in the palm and passion stories could set up a reflective theme carried through to Easter. Who in each story do we regard as humble? Why? How does our humility compare? Are there characters who seem to gain or lose humility in the course of the story from the triumphant entry to the resurrection? A deep and meaningful understanding of humility is a worthy and lasting gift to take away from the season of Lent and the celebration of Easter. \nJoseph of Arimathea is a particularly good character on which to base an understanding of humility. A close look at all references to him in the Gospels\, and a bit of creative narrative\, create an image of a truly humble believer. He is referenced in both canonical and apocryphal texts. His devotion represents deep humility that leads to the very finest of good works as he cares for the body of Jesus. \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nFifth Sunday in Lent\nThe Hope of New Life\nHope overcomes despair for God’s people: this is the message of the readings for today. The hope of new life is evident in the story of “dry bones” from Ezekiel. The children of Israel declare their hope is lost. The prophet’s experience in the valley of dry bones inspires him to preach renewed hope to the people. Psalm 130 sings of hope in God and God’s word. The work of God’s Spirit gives hope of new life in Paul’s letter to the church at Rome. The Gospel of John tells the hope-filled story of the raising of Lazarus from the dead. The gospel gives us encouraging words to sustain us through the approaching despair of Christ’s passion and brings us to the fulfillment of hope on Easter. Martha’s wistful words to Jesus\, “Lord\, if you had been here. . . . But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask of him” (John 11:21-22)\, reflect the hope of God’s people in the face of despair\, even in the face of death. \nEach text encourages hearers to hope in God and God’s word. How do Christians experience unfulfilled hope? This is the challenge for those who interpret today’s texts for hearers. Israel’s woes are not at an end; other psalms tell of struggle and pain; the Christ-believers at Rome are persecuted; Jesus who raises Lazarus from the dead soon dies. And yet hope is fulfilled as Paul proclaims “all Israel will be saved” (Rom. 11:26). Psalm 46 sings of God’s presence in time of trouble. A preview of the hope of the resurrection will sustain believers in these final days of Lent (John 20:17). The Christian’s confidence in the resurrection of the dead epitomizes their hope in Christ. \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nFourth Sunday in Lent\nGod’s Eyes Are Not Our Eyes\nOne heresy in the early church was called Donatism. The Donatists held that the sacraments were only efficacious if presided over by priests who were sinless. It didn’t take the church long to realize that if it held to this policy there would be no sacraments for anyone. So if the gospel can be proclaimed through the preaching of a sinner\, then we must allow for the possibility that God’s healing may be accomplished through extraordinary means. God chooses a boy too young to be taken seriously to anoint as one chosen to lead Israel. When the prophet Samuel is sent by God to find the new king who will replace Saul\, Samuel goes through a long line of all Jesse’s tall\, strapping\, competent-looking sons of appropriate age. When none of them are chosen\, finally Jesse sends for young David. All of the obvious-to-us choices were declined in favor of a boy. What we may see as authoritative\, respectable\, and trustworthy may not always align with God. Today’s first reading reminds us that “the Lord does not see as mortals see” (1 Sam. 16:7). \nThis theme of sight runs throughout today’s texts\, both in terms of how God does not see as we see and also in Jesus’ healing of a man born blind. Jesus chooses to heal a blind man on the sabbath with dirt and saliva\, much to the dismay of the good religious people who were certain they knew better than to display such questionable judgment and behavior. Lent is a time to reevaluate. Let it also be a time to examine the ways in which we do not see what God is doing around us because we too think we know better. Bottom line: God often uses the unexpected to accomplish redemption. \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nThird Sunday in Lent\nOur “Other” at the Well\nThe woman at the well is a familiar text for many people. This image of Jesus standing at a well talking with a Samaritan woman is emblazoned in our visual and theological imaginations\, but as with all Bible stories that we think we know\, we might do well to take another look! Perhaps relegating this text to the simple moralism “be nice to people who are different” causes us to miss how deeply radical and difficult the message really is. We may assume this gospel simply urges us to stand with the marginalized\, especially women. Yet while standing with marginalized women is a commendable action it can lead us\, after doing so\, to congratulate ourselves for being just like Jesus. A more critical and searching look at this text calls us to the reality that Jesus doesn’t just stand with the other\, Jesus stands with your other; your church’s other. Your church’s “Samaritans” may be homosexuals\, evangelicals\, urban people\, rural people\, conservatives\, liberals\, the poor\, the rich\, the dying\, or single parents. Your church’s Samaritans could very well be the key to this text. Because\, like it or not\, when we draw lines between ourselves and other people\, Jesus is always on the other side of that line. So communities and individuals who thirst for the living water would do well to look to who our own Samaritans might be. And when we find them we should perhaps not be surprised to also find Jesus; a Jesus we thought was all our own but who\, in reality\, is the living water who comes to us in the strange and the stranger. \n~From Sundays & Seasons \n

SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nSecond Sunday in Lent\nQuestions Come to Light\nWhat is it about the night that invites questions? As our head rests on the pillow and shadows stretch out on the bedroom wall\, questions\, like field mice\, begin to emerge from the nooks and crannies of our mind. At first\, the questions are utilitarian: Did someone let the dog out this evening? Are the kids’ lunches packed for school? When am I going to get to the grocery store this week? And then\, without warning\, the questions morph: Is Grandma going to recover from this illness? Why are my prayers so short these days? Does Jesus really care about us—about me? At this point we know that night has truly descended. Truth uttered in darkness. Naked honesty feels much safer\, much less exposed when light’s reach seems a day way. \nMaybe that is why we can relate to Nicodemus. For when did Nicodemus come to Jesus? By night! Though we can easily skip over the setting’s description in this gospel encounter\, it is so very important. With shadows dancing in the torchlight\, Nicodemus makes his way to Jesus\, beset by questions he can ask only under cover of darkness. Though the darkness is Nicodemus’ security blanket\, he cannot help himself. Like a moth fluttering in the night sky\, Nicodemus is irresistibly drawn to the light. Not just any light: Jesus\, the light of the world\, the light no darkness can overcome. As people filled with our own questions\, we follow in the furtive footsteps of Nicodemus\, falsely believing our naked honesty will remain hidden in the gloom of night. But the Spirit\, through the light of Christ\, calls us out from the shadows\, and in fact\, exposes us to the brilliance of God’s love—a love that meets our questioning hearts with nothing less than life eternal. \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Lenten Supper & Service
DESCRIPTION:Lenten Supper & Service\nJoin us on Mondays from February 23 through March 23 as we gather for a meaningful season of Lenten observances\, a time set apart for reflection\, prayer\, and renewal as we journey toward Easter together. \nEach Monday evening offers a gentle rhythm to begin the week grounded in community and faith. We will start with a light supper at 6:00 pm\, providing a simple meal and a welcoming space to slow down\, share conversation\, and reconnect with one another. Whether you come straight from work\, school\, or home\, the table is set for you—no need to rush or prepare anything in advance. \nAt 6:30 pm\, we will move into worship. These Lenten services are designed to be reflective and accessible\, creating room to pause amid the busyness of life. Through scripture\, prayer\, music\, and moments of silence\, we will explore themes of repentance\, hope\, grace\, and God’s enduring presence with us. Lent invites us to take an honest look at our lives while also resting in the promise of God’s love\, and these services will help guide that sacred work. \nYou are welcome to attend one evening or all five—come as you are\, as often as you are able. This season is not about perfection\, but about presence: showing up\, listening\, and allowing God to meet us where we are. Friends\, neighbors\, and newcomers are warmly invited\, whether you are deeply familiar with Lent or experiencing it for the first time. \nMark your calendar and plan to join us for these Monday evenings of nourishment for both body and spirit. We look forward to walking this Lenten journey with you\, together\, in faith and community.

SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nFirst Sunday in Lent\nThe Devil Doesn’t Wear Tights\nNo one believes in the existence of the devil these days\, do they? Do you? Perhaps we can thank Hollywood and Halloween’s marketing blitz for our casual if not incredulous approach to the devil’s existence. Pointy horns\, pitch forks\, red costumes\, and box office ticket sales continue to shape our culture’s collective consciousness of the devil. Though red tights and long tails may be a frightening thought as you consider a costume for a Halloween party\, they do nothing to communicate the true terror of an honest-to-God encounter with the devil’s power. \nThis Lent we are called to expunge the fantastical images of the devil from our minds and think seriously about the real presence of evil in our world. We know firsthand about the sin that caused\, causes\, and will cause suffering to us\, our loved ones\, our neighbors\, our global communities\, and creation itself. Sin is real; suffering is real; evil is real; indeed\, the devil is real. This oppressive\, tangible reality is as real as the air we breathe—felt but not always seen. Greed\, envy\, rage\, hatred\, war\, discrimination\, and apathy are just some of the ways the devil’s forces wreak havoc upon us. These forces have one goal and one goal only: to turn us away from the will of God. \nMatthew’s gospel reorients us to the truth of the devil’s power\, and calls us to name Satan’s presence in the world. In the wilderness Jesus encounters an evil as real as its opposite\, resurrection. The great tempter seeks to undermine Jesus’ mission before he even begins; testimony that evil has much to fear of our Jesus! Nonetheless\, Jesus will not be dissuaded. “Away with you\, Satan!” proclaims the redeemer of the cosmos. Thus\, the Lenten journey begins—a journey that takes us to the cross\, where the devil is named and crushed underfoot. \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Ash Wednesday Service
DESCRIPTION:Ash Wednesday\nSmeared in Sin\, Washed in Love\nWith ash and soot we begin this Lenten season with confession; we begin with Psalm 51; we begin on our knees. Today this ancient prayer placed on our lips becomes new again: “Have mercy on me\, O God\, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.” We speak our truths from the shadow of our sin\, the very shadow that marks our mortality. Like ash traced upon our foreheads\, we are marked with the reality of our frailties and failings. It is stark reminder that sin and death are smeared all over us. From this inevitable reality\, we cry out for mercy! For as bold as it is to name our sin and sinful ways that lead to death\, it is all the more audacious to summon our God! To summon the one who actually has the power to do something about sin and the ways of death! On this day of penitence\, through the work and witness of Christ Jesus\, we brashly summon God to come\, to hear our prayer\, and to listen to our confession. \nSo\, with our truths laid bare\, we confess our unfaithfulness to God\, our lackluster love for our neighbors\, our neglect of suffering and injustice in the world. In the same breath\, we ask God to wash us\, to purge us\, and to create in us clean hearts. The smears of sin are washed clean through the love of Christ. And yet\, we will leave worship this day still carrying the cross-shaped trace of sin and death upon us. It is a reminder that\, even amid our confession\, we continue this Lenten season to listen for the perpetual call to return to the Lord our God who is gracious and merciful\, abounding in steadfast love (Joel 2:13). \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nFinding God in the Clouds\nWe often speak of mountaintop experiences as those joyous times we look forward to with excitement and look back upon fondly\, such as summer camp or an annual hiking trip. The mountaintop moments in today’s readings were different: awe-inspiring\, yes\, but also full of devouring fires\, clouds\, and fear. Vision is obscured\, the familiar becomes unknown\, and nothing is the same. People get lost in fires\, clouds\, and fear\, unable to find their way\, but God’s presence is where we get both lost and found. Many biblical encounters with God involved fear\, pointing to the awesome reality of God that is much more than the gentle shepherd we often imagine (though God is that\, too). God is\, as C. S. Lewis famously said\, “not a tame lion” (The Lion\, the Witch and the Wardrobe\, London: HarperCollins Children’s Books\, 2001\, p. 197). The truth is\, we can no more plan our mountaintop times with God than we can stay there forever\, as much as we think we would like to. God’s place is to invite\, ours to respond\, faces bowed to the ground. \nEventually\, of course\, the time comes to leave that mountain\, walking with Jesus down to the valley and getting dusty with the ashes of daily life. Many churches symbolically “roll up the Alleluias” today\, recognizing that this is the end of a glorious season celebrating Christ’s light and the entrance to a no-less-real season of Jesus’ and our own lives\, the “valley” season of Lent. But that doesn’t mean there is nothing to do down in the valley. On the contrary\, the traditional disciplines of Lent—fasting\, prayer\, and gifts to the poor—all help us maintain the eyes\, ears\, and heart to see and hear God whenever and however God appears. \n~ From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\n\nIt’s Time to Lighten Up!\nThis is a strange time of year. The days are short\, the nights are long\, and even though we dream of more daylight\, we walk around hoping against hope that there won’t be enough sunshine produced for a rodent (okay\, a groundhog!) to see its own shadow. A quick scan of today’s news can be equally as bleak. It is time for a little more light in an otherwise dark and dreary time. \nEnter Epiphany. The missional emphasis of this season shines like a beacon of light and hope in the dead of winter\, bringing good news in the middle of this world’s not-so-good news. This week God provides the mission in Isaiah—feed the hungry\, care for the homeless\, clothe the naked. Upon accomplishing this mission God tells the people\, “Your light shall break forth like the dawn.” Paul continues his Spirit-led mission\, encouraging the church in Corinth\, “No eye has seen\, nor ear heard\, nor the human heart conceived\, what God has prepared for those who love him.” Jesus teaches his disciples\, “You are the light of the world. . . . Let your light shine before others” (Matt. 5:14\, 16). Through these words in Jesus’ sermon\, he gives followers of every day and age a mission to share the light which scatters the darkness. \nWhether you are looking in the news or out the window\, things may seem pretty dark and dreary at this time of year\, but do not miss the light of Epiphany! We are indeed created in God’s image\, therefore the spark of the divine is alive in all of us. The light shines through us as we live out God’s mission for our lives each day. As Epiphany continues\, we should all be prepared to let our light shine and share the good news. \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Reconciling in Christ Sunday
DESCRIPTION:RIC Sunday\nAt the worship service on Sunday\, February 1\, 2026\, you are invited to join the members of PHLC as we celebrate and renew our commitment to being a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) congregation. This meaningful moment in our shared life affirms who we are and who we strive to be: a community grounded in God’s love\, where all people are welcomed\, valued\, and celebrated. \nThe Reconciling in Christ program calls congregations to live out God’s radical hospitality by intentionally welcoming people of all sexual orientations\, gender identities\, races\, abilities\, ages\, and backgrounds. During this special service\, we will reflect on our calling to love our neighbors as ourselves and to work toward justice\, inclusion\, and reconciliation in our church\, our community\, and the wider world. \nAs we renew this commitment together\, we remember that being Reconciling in Christ is not a single statement or moment\, but an ongoing journey of learning\, listening\, and faithful action. It shapes how we worship\, how we serve\, how we speak\, and how we care for one another—especially for those who have been marginalized or excluded. \nThis service will include prayer\, reflection\, and a communal affirmation of our shared promise to continue creating a space where everyone can experience belonging and grace. Whether you have been part of PHLC for many years or are visiting for the first time\, you are invited to participate in this celebration of God’s inclusive love. \nIn a world often marked by division\, this renewal is a powerful witness to hope\, compassion\, and unity in Christ. Come worship with us on February 1 as we recommit ourselves to walking together in faith\, guided by love\, courage\, and the promise that all are truly welcome at PHLC.

SUMMARY:Worship Service - Virtual Only
DESCRIPTION:Due to Weather\, this service will be virtual only on our Facebook page.\nA New Way to Follow\nNations wage war\, gangs battle each other\, families quarrel\, communities of faith divide. We hear others say and even hear ourselves saying\, “There is no other way.” \nIn Jesus\, the light of Gods kingdom draws near and a new way shines for us to follow. \nIn today’s gospel\, Jesus first withdraws (Matt. 4:12). The word anachoreo (to withdraw) is used ten times in Matthew’s gospel—each time as Jesus’ response to violence or conflict. John the Baptist has been arrested\, and tension is beginning to build. The way of God and the way of the world’s rulers are beginning to collide. \nIn Jesus\, a new kingdom has drawn near\, a kingdom of nonviolence and non-retaliation. Jesus’ withdrawal is not simply passivity but points to a vision of an alternate way of reigning as king. Jesus rules not with violence\, abusive power\, or through division but through voluntarily emptying himself of power\, identifying with the oppressed and burdened\, and healing that which is broken. Into this new reign\, Jesus calls the disciples to follow him\, a way that appears foolish and weak to those who cannot discern it. To those God calls\, it is the wisdom and strength\, the light and power of God. \nTo follow in the way of Jesus places one’s life at risk\, for it eventually leads to the cross. To follow\, though\, implies someone is leading. The way God calls us to follow has already been filled with the loving kindness and mercy of Jesus who has gone before us and who leads us to the foot of the cross. There\, in the shadow of the cross\, God makes a way for unity in the midst of division\, for healing in the midst of brokenness\, for peace in the midst of violence\, for forgiveness in the midst of betrayal. Around the table\, the kingdom of God draws near; Jesus’ broken body announces forgiveness\, healing\, peace\, and unity. Many bodies are nourished and formed into the one body of Christ\, called and sent to follow in the way of Jesus\, to be broken and shed for the sake of the world. \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nSeeing and Telling Who Jesus Is\nThe time after Epiphany is the church’s time to invite us to come and see who this one born in a manger will be\, and to discover what this one born to a young woman might mean for us and for the world. Today’s gospel tells us that Jesus is the “Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world\,” “the Son of God\,” and “the Messiah.” These appellations show us that the coming of Jesus has meaning not just for those who follow him\, but for all people and all the world. In the gospel\, neither John nor Andrew can contain their testimony about who Jesus is. They have had an encounter with Christ that has had such an impact on their lives that they cannot help but tell others about it. John tells his disciples and everyone else within earshot about Jesus. Andrew runs to find his brother\, Peter\, and brings him to Jesus so that Peter might have the same life-changing encounter he himself has experienced. \nWe are invited to “come and see” who Jesus is. We are reminded that God’s forgiveness and love proclaimed in Jesus Christ is meant to be good news for us and for all people. As we encounter Christ\, our lives are changed. Like John and Andrew in today’s gospel\, we are called to share with others who we have seen Jesus to be. \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nThe Power of a God Who Is Humble\nFrom the time Jesus first presented himself for baptism by John until today\, Christians have puzzled over why Jesus had to be baptized. The act of baptism was understood to be an act of repentance and the cleansing of one’s sins. John does not understand why Jesus\, whose sandals John is “not worthy to carry” (Matt. 3:11) should seek to be baptized. Instead\, John declares to Jesus\, “I need to be baptized by you” (Matt. 3:14). Why should the Son of God\, who is without sin\, need to be baptized? \nFrederick Dale Bruner\, in Matthew: A Commentary (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans\, 2004)\, says that he considers Jesus’ first miracle to have occurred at his baptism. The miracle is that Jesus was humble. The divine Son of God humbles himself by allowing John to baptize him. This act of humility is an act of obedience to God and solidarity with all humankind. Jesus has no sins to be forgiven. However\, for us\, he goes down to the river of repentance with all the other sinners to be baptized. Jesus’ baptism\, his first adult act as recorded in Matthew’s gospel\, gives us a clear indication of how Jesus will act for his entire life. The Son of God will come down with us\, on our level\, identifying with our needs. His baptism\, then\, foreshadows how his life will end\, on the cross. In his death\, Jesus experiences the worst we could ever experience as mortal humans. But\, because Jesus united with us in baptism\, we are united with him in both his death and resurrection. The barriers that separate us from God\, including the barriers of sinfulness\, mortality\, and death\, are broken by Jesus’ obedience to God\, through his humility to come down to us in the depths of our humanity. \n~From Sundays & Seasons
