Grace to you and peace, from God our Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ! Beginning a new year together in worship is a delightful way to look back at what is good and to plan for a glorious future. We do that in our celebration of Communion tomorrow morning, with thanks to our deacons and worship team helpers, and I invite those of you at home to prepare your own bread and cup in order to partake with us. Our scripture lessons ask us to remember those who sought a new king in an era of disillusionment and fear, and also invite us to consider where we might go to seek a better way and to know assurance. In the story of the wise seekers from the East who honored an infant child and his mother and who chose to disobey an immoral ruler, Herod, we know the lengths to which the faithful will go in response to God’s call in their lives. As we start the new year together, may we be strengthened in our own faithful living.
Blessings and peace, Lisa
