We will empower and equip people to mentor following generations so that the legacy of faith continues. NURSERY or CRY ROOM: are available. Please ask an usher for directions. LARGE PRINT SERVICE S are available on the narrow table in the narthex. AS WE GATHER Have you ever thought about how powerful fear and worry are in our lives? Fear takes hold. It ties us in knots and refuses to let us go. On our own, we re powerless to undo these fear knots. Only Jesus has the power to release us from their captivity. Fear not, He says to His redeemed people! You are Mine, He refreshingly reminds us. Our worship on this Baptism of Our Lord Sunday brings us with Jesus to the baptismal waters, enabling us to hear the living voice of our God as He washes us clean and makes us His own. Fear may take its hold for a moment, but Jesus hold is eternal. Fear knots may have their day. Fear not are saving words forever. HEAVENLY HOME It has pleased God Almighty to call to Himself in heaven, Morrelle Christiansen, who was given a Christian burial on Wednesday. We keep his family in our prayers.
