“Baptism of Jesus” Sunday
by Sharon Cheverie
Pictou – As we continue in the Season of Epiphany we observe “Baptism of Jesus” Sunday.
Greeters were June Sterns and Sharon Dewer, steward was Nancy Steele.
Margaret Anne Dodson gave the Mission Moment. This week’s bulletin was dedicated in loving memory of Patrick Moriarity by Mary- Beth Moriarity.
Rev. Moriarity’s time with the children talked of water and that we need water to survive, and how many Bible Stories are about water. That we use water for baptizing and that water is connected to God. Water is reminding us that we are God’s Beloved and we are called to love in the world and for the world. She told the children of Jesus’ baptism taking place in a river. In Baptism you are loved by God.
Hebrew Scripture and Gospel Lesson were read by Bev Simmons.
Rev Moriarity invited the congregation to “come to the water”, to touch the water and remember God’s goodness that surrounds and fills us.
Ministry of Music “Pie Jesu” was offered by Melanie Pos.
Coffee Hour followed in the church hall, a time for friendship and refreshments. This Sunday the 17th, “Second Cup” begins at 9:45 worship to follow at 10:30. All are welcome.
