1st Sunday After Epiphany
Epiphany is the season after Christmas (the first set of green blocks), and separates the Advent/Christmas season from Lent/Easter. In Epiphany we learn about the beginnings of Jesus ministry and the calling of the disciples.
This week we are looking at Jesus’ Baptism.
These are an example of the vows taken on your behalf when you were baptized. What do you think?
Notice how God is called as a helper along the way? No one walks in faith alone. Also notice you are baptized into the entire Christian community, not just your home church.
