2 JANUARY 10, 2016 BAPTISM OF OUR LORD Pastors Message: This weekend we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord, as well as the official close of the Christmas Season. As Jesus is baptized in the Jordan by St. John the Baptist he begins his public ministry of preaching the kingdom of God. It is at this crucial moment of his Baptism that the Holy Spirit appears in the form of a dove and the voice of the Father says this is my beloved Son. At his Baptism Jesus was confirmed in his true identity as the Beloved Son of God, and our Baptism our true identity as God s beloved children by adoption was also confirmed. Sadly, most of us have lost touch with this important moment in our lives where God claims us as his children. This feast of the Lord s Baptism challenges all of us to get in touch with that crucial moment of our own Baptism so that we can once again hear the voice of the Father claiming us, and that true identity that we received at Baptism may transform our daily lives. Liturgical Calendar Jan. 11 th St. Hilary-Bishop and Doctor of the Church Please pray for all our faithful departed especially; Stanley Clark and Doris Anderson May they rest in peace with the Risen Lord Jesus.
