Baptism of Our Lord Sunday, January 7 8:30 am Service
Jan 7, 2024 • Pastor Cheryl Rondeau-Bassett
Our re-creation in baptism is an image of the Genesis creation, where the Spirit of God moved over the waters. Both Mark’s gospel and the story in Acts make clear that it is the Spirit’s movement that distinguishes Jesus’ baptism from John’s. The Spirit has come upon us as upon Jesus and the Ephesians, calling us God’s beloved children and setting us on Jesus’ mission to re-create the world in the image of God’s vision of justice and peace.
God creates light God creates light
The voice of the Lord is upon the waters. (Ps. 29:3)
