This Sunday we will be celebrating with baptism! Every baptism is not only a reminder of the unconditional love and presence of God, but also of our connection with one another. As we hear this week’s scripture reading, we remember that in baptism we hear the divine voice say to each of us: “You are my beloved.”
This Sunday, the choir will sing Bob Chilcott’s beautiful setting of Be Thou My Vision, and we’ll all sing the Lord’s Prayer (a favourite for those of us who worshiped at Presteign-Woodbine before our coming together). Our final hymn will be the spiritual “I’ve Got Peace Like a River.”
This is our final Sunday of the season of Epiphany, and next Sunday we’ll begin to explore our Lenten theme this year “Our Sacred World.”
By the way, it’s not too late to support “Team LUCY” on Leaside’s third time participating in the Coldest Night of the Year walk, responding to homelessness. The team’s already increased the fundraising goal once because of the generous donations – congratulations!
I look forward to celebrating with you on Sunday,
Emily
