Lea Matthews: "Practicing Belonging" (Sermon for January 11, 2026)

Dear Friends,I hope you’ll join us for worship this Sunday as we celebrate the Baptism of Our Lord, a day centered on water, grace, and belovedness.We'll have the joy of baptizing AJ Palma Gil and Nora Howse, welcoming them into the family of faith and surrounding them with our prayers, promises, and love. As we witness their baptisms, we’ll share in the sacrament that reminds us who we are and whose we are.It'll be a special, hope-filled morning, grounding us again in God’s love that meets us just as we are.I hope to see you there!With grace,Pastor Lea
