Jesus’ formal ministry begins when he is baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. Mark 1:1-12 tells us that as he rises out of the water, the Holy Spirit alights on him. Then, God’s voice proclaims from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” As we remember the baptism of Jesus this week, we can take the opportunity to reaffirm our own baptisms and to hear God’s voice saying the same thing to us.
Join us around the virtual table as we talk about baptism, creation, and God’s love for us.

thank you all three for this. The words “you are my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased” have borne me up through many a trial and set-back through life. I thank God for his love.
