This Week in the Scripture
Second Sunday after Epiphany

Readings and Psalm

Holy God, our strength and our redeemer, by your Spirit hold us forever, that through your grace we may worship you and faithfully serve you, follow you and joyfully find you, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
Amen.

If you are reading this on-line, the text above in blue will take you to the readings shown provided by Vanderbilt Divinity Library, a division of the Jean and Alexander Heard Library.
Today's gospel opens with further reflection on Jesus' baptism.  He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world and the one anointed by the Spirit.  In the liturgy we come and see Christ revealed among us in word and meal.  We go forth to invite others to come and worship the Holy One and to receive the gifts of grace and peace made known among us.

End of the year offering statements will be available in the church on Sunday, January 19 and Sunday, January 26.

O GOD, look with compassion on the one in seven Americans who face hunger in this country.  Preserve their dignity as they struggle to get enough to eat.  May those looking for jobs find new opportunities to earn a living.  May those who are unable to work be supported and sustained by their communities.  Lord, in your mercy.
