Greetings on this Baptism of the Lord Sunday.

  • 8:30 am – Holy Communion-BCP
  • 10:00 am – Holy Eucharist-BAS - Sunday School - Invite the children

Greetings and blessings sisters and brothers in Christ.  Rev'd John would like you to turn to the Gospel of Matthew 3: 13-17.  This passage in which Jesus is baptized by John in the River Jordan marks the beginning of Jesus' Galilean ministry.  What does this watershed moment in the Gospel tell us about Jesus' humanity and divinity?  And what does it tell us about our own baptism? 

To view readings for this week and the entire year, please use this link to the common lectionary.  https://lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu/ (You might have to select the correct Sunday).

The Hymns for this Sunday are printed below.  Please google to go over ahead of time.

  1. Processional Hymn:         On Jordan's Bank
  2. Gradual Hymn:                    As With Gladness Men of Old
  3. Offertory Hymn:                Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness
  4. Recessional Hymn:            The Church of Christ

If you would like to donate an anthem in loving memory of someone or just to contribute to the music ministry here at Christ Church, please consider it.  Thank you for your consideration.
