January 12 is Baptism of The Lord Sunday. We’ll hear the account of Jesus’ baptism from the Gospel of Luke and all are invited to renew the commitments made at their baptism or to anticipate their baptism.

On Epiphany we remember the visit of the Magi to Jesus. We welcome guest preacher Rev. Lizzie Wright, executive director of Austin Region Justice for Our Neighbors (Austin JFON). Austin JFON is a non-profit law office, welcoming refugees and immigrants into our communities by providing free, high-quality immigration legal services, education, and advocacy.

We continue our celebration of Christmas and we will continue to sing the songs of Christmas. Pastor Teresa preaches on the lectionary Gospel lesson from Luke, when Jesus the child is found by his parents in the temple.

Pastor Teresa preaches on Christmas Eve as we celebrate the coming of God in the Christ child.

We light the candle of Love on this Fourth Sunday in Advent. Pastor Earl preaches and we will hear Mary’s Magnificat in the scripture reading.

In worship this Sunday we continue our Advent journey and light the candle of JOY. The scripture reading reminds us that John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus in the wilderness and Pastor Teresa’s sermon is “The Joy of Service.”

Join us as we begin our journey in this season of Advent! We will hear from the first chapter of Luke and light the first candle on our Advent Wreath - the candle of hope.

Megan Otto gives a pep talk for those who are both hopeful and a bit nervous about the holiday season. This season can be overwhelming but we hope you feel supported by this community. We want to remind you that God continues to be present with us during this time.

We are excited to share with you a beautiful telling of this story from a new book entitled “The Book of Belonging: Bible Stories for Kind and Contemplative Kids” by Mariko Clark. This retelling of the Gospel story will be shared by our own storytellers, Ray Williams and Melissa Wiginton. The sermon text is about Jesus’ visit to Mary following the death of her brother Lazarus. In the sermon, Pastor Teresa will take a look at how we can be a good friend to other people and ourselves when experiencing loss.
