We meet for worship this Sunday halfway between the second impeachment of our current president and the inauguration of our new president.  We also meet with our country deep into the depths of a pandemic that is continuing to take lives at a record setting pace.  If ever there has been a time when we need to be reminded of our connectedness to one another, it is now.  And that connectedness goes well beyond our own country. We need reminders of our connection to sisters and brothers around the world, as well as to the earth itself. This Sunday is, in the United Methodist Church calendar, Human Relations Day. This Sunday is celebrated each January on the day before Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday is recognized.  It will be good to be together and worship as a church family – even if online!  My message this week is titled “We All Need…Somebody” and is based on John 1:43-51.  I hope you will be able to join us – either live at 10:30 or later by recording.  Bless each of you!  - Pastor Derek
