During the season of Epiphany, our sermon series, Living with Joy, invites us to consider how we can live with purpose and joy in our everyday lives. Stories of the early ministry of Jesus, along with Old Testament texts, remind us that joy can be found in our lives, regardless of external circumstances. This joy sustains us through hardships and gives our lives deeper meaning.
The Call to Worship will be “Meditation.” Rev. Jennifer McClung Rygg will lead the Passing of the Peace. The Hymn of Praise will be “All Creatures of Our God and King.” Ted Thomas will read Isaiah 43:1-7.
