January 12, 2025 - Baptism of our Lord

Today’s festival rejoices in God’s blessings. We recall and celebrate our adoption as God’s children, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and the promised company of almighty God when we “pass through the waters . . . the rivers . . . fire.” On this day the heavens open again for this assembly, and we receive the gift of God’s Beloved, Jesus, in bread and wine.

Readings:

Isaiah 43:1-7: When you pass through the waters, do not fear, for I am with you
Psalm 29: The voice of the Lord is upon the waters. (Ps. 29:3)
Acts 8:14-17: Prayer and laying on of hands for the Holy Spirit
Luke 3:15-17, 21-22: The baptism of Jesus with the descent of the Holy Spirit

January 5, 2025 - Epiphany of our Lord

Within the gospel reading’s profound words lies the simple message that God is revealed in a human person. Though we may try to understand how the Word existed with God from the beginning of time, the wonder we celebrate at Christmas is that the Word continues to dwell among us. Christ comes among us in the gathered assembly, the scriptures, the waters of new birth, and the bread and the wine. Through these ordinary gifts we receive the fullness of God’s grace and truth.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Readings:

Isaiah 60:1-6
Psalm 72:1-7,10-14
Ephesians 1:3-14:
Matthew 2:1-12

December 29, 2024 - First Sunday of Christmas

On the first Sunday of Christmas we find the boy Samuel and the boy Jesus, both in the temple, both growing in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and humankind. We too have returned to the house of God “to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God,” who has gifted us with a savior. As the festival continues, “let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.” It is Christmas, still.

---------------------------------------------------------------

1 Samuel 2:18-20, 26: The boy Samuel grew in favor with the Lord and the people
Psalm 148: The splendor of the Lord is over earth and heaven (Ps. 148:13)
Colossians 3:12-17: Clothe yourselves in love, let the peace of Christ rule your hearts
Luke 2:41-52: The boy Jesus increased in wisdom, and in divine and human favor

December 24, 2024 - Christmas Eve

In winter’s deepest night, we welcome the light of the Christ child. Isaiah declares that the light of the long-promised king will illumine the world and bring endless peace and justice. Paul reminds us that the grace of God through Jesus Christ brings salvation to all people. The angels declare that Jesus’ birth is good and joyful news for everyone, including lowly shepherds. Filled with the light that shines in our lives, we go forth to share the light of Christ with the whole world.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Isaiah 9:2-7: Light shines: a child is born for us
Psalm 96: Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad. (Ps. 96:11)
Titus 2:11-14: The grace of God has appeared
Luke 2:1-14 [15-20]: God with us
