The Gift of Committed Community
This Sunday at First Presbyterian Church On the Baptism of the Lord, we continue our Epiphany sermon series Gifts That Keep on Giving with a message from Rev. Diane Flynn titled “The Gift of Committed Community.” Our Scripture reading from Matthew 3:13–17 recounts the baptism of Jesus — a moment of humility, obedience, and divine affirmation. As Jesus enters the waters of the Jordan, God declares him beloved, reminding us that baptism is not only a personal promise but a communal calling. This Sunday’s worship invites us to reflect on what it means to be bound together in Christ — named and claimed by God, connected to one another, and called to live out our faith in community. Anthem: “Manger Songs” — Junior Choir Worship begins at 10:30 AM, with Coffee Fellowship at 9:00 AM.
Scripture References: Matthew 3:13-17
