Encourage others to give and show that you have donated and are sponsoring meals* - head over to the Narthex to the Rise Against Hunger Station to fill out a card. It will be added to our display. All contributions are appreciated! *You can donate here or use the QR code at the table.

In both services, we will read the story of Jesus’ baptism as we remember our baptism. Through our baptism vows we renounce the spiritual forces of wickedness, reject the evil powers of this world, and repent of sin. We accept the freedom and power God gives to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves.
