Bothell Amplified

This week, Pastor Joe continues our series called Living with Joy, preaching from Luke 3:15-22. As he reflects on the baptism of Jesus, he challenges us to think of living with joy as an opportunity to connect to God in prayer to claim our own belovedness and to do it in community.

This week, we welcome back to Bothell Angela Molloy, our former pastoral intern and now a student in Denver in the Iliff/DU Joint Doctoral Program. As we journey towards Christmas Eve, she challenges us to remember the "subversive and revolutionarily kind Mary" and how we can live into her call to active, justice-stirring love!

Kristin Joyner, challenges us to remember that the salvation that we yearn for is freedom from our separation from God.
