Sundays in January

New Year’s Day – The Name of Jesus Day

and the bestowing of his name – Jesus.

The Baptism of our Lord – Winter Rally Day – “Sparked by the Spirit”

Second Sunday after Epiphany – Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend
As our nation honors a great leader and proclaimer of truth, Reformation begins a
new three week series on Discipleship. It helps us think about how we too have
been called by Jesus to make a difference in the world. The series begins –
“Discipleship: simple invitations.”

Third Sunday after Epiphany
Do we over think what it means to be followers of Jesus or do we hesitate to
consider what it means for the church today. As we approach our annual
congregational meeting Pastor Smoose preaches the second in the new series –
“Discipleship: Ordinary People”

Fourth Sunday after Epiphany – Congregational Meeting Day
After the second service members are encouraged to stay for a light lunch and
the annual congregational meeting where we celebrate our ministries and carry out
some of the basic work of the church with electing council members and approving
our spending plan for ministry. Today will be the third in our discipleship series as
Pastor Smoose preaches on “Discipleship: Wonders that Astound Us.”
