RCL Reflection for the Baptism of the Lord, Year B, January 10, 2021
In Jesus’ own baptism his ministry is inaugurated, and in doing so the church comes into being through water and word—one big wild, wet, welcoming family. We all can make an effort to remember our own gift of baptism every day and to give thanks for the life-giving gift of water that God proclaimed good.
Lectionary Reflection for the Baptism of our Lord, Year B, January 7, 2018
This Sunday we have water and Jesus and a wild-honking-goose-of-a-Holy-Spirit clattering through our organized worship and over-booked lives. Yes, that Holy Spirit that descended on Jesus in the Jordan in Mark’s gospel account is on the loose and ready to take you along for the ride of your life. Are you ready to go?
