January 16 Sharing Our Faith
Jesus says to two disciples, “Come and see.” Philip says to his brother, “Come and see.” It is an invitation to follow Jesus. What invitations have we issued lately?

January 23 Called to Follow
Last week we talked about invitations we have issued. But let us never forget that the first invitation is issued by Christ himself. “Follow me,” he says. It would be nice if he would provide a few more details.

January 30 Who Would God Have Us Be?
In a year of discernment and re-visioning in the life of our church, the question we must keep before us is…Who is God calling us to be?” As we look ahead, who are we to be, what are we to do? The prophet has some ideas.
Micah 6: 1-8 Rev. Nelson
