Epiphany Series: Power Rising: Make Us a People Ready

2017—a year we are ready to put behind us—is over. In 2018, there is a need, an urgency, for us to be a people equipped and empowered to be the Church, God’s powerful, breathed-into presence in the world. How does that happen? What does it mean to be ‘ready’? Our Sunday series on “Power Rising” will explore this topic.

January 7: Ready to See
Senior Pastor Kathi McShane will preach at the morning services and Associate Pastor Sam Lewis at the evening service, covering Jesus’ baptism as related in Mark 1:4-11. Morning Glory will sing at the 8:30am service, Chancel Choir will sing at the 10:00am service, and Creekside Worship Band will lead music at the 5:00pm service.

January 14: Ready to Fail
We will honor the Rev. Dr. Mark Bollwinkel as our newest pastor emeritus, and he will preach from John 1:43-51. Chancel Choir will sing at the 8:30am service and Starfire Singers at the 10:00am service. Holy Communion will be served at all services.

January 21: Ready to Forgive – Matthew 18:21-35
Morning Glory will sing at 8:30am and Starfire Singers at 10:00am.

January 28 (Africa Sunday): Ready to Take a Stand – Mark 8:27-30
We will have special music from a guest African choir.

February 4: Ready to Risk – Luke 19:1-10
Morning Glory will sing at 8:30am and Starfire Singers at 10:00am. Holy Communion will be offered at all services.

February 11: Ready to Give Ourselves – Mark 9:2-9
Starfire Singers will sing at 8:30am and Chancel Choir at 10:00am.
