For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.’ (Ephesians 2:8-10).

Grace Service of Holy Communion (3rd Sunday of Epiphany)

This coming Sunday (January 26), we celebrate Holy Communion together on this Third Sunday of the season of Epiphany!

Our Gospel reading is from Luke 4:14-21 (when Jesus reads from Isaiah [61:1-2] at a synagogue in Nazareth, the beginning of his teaching about his remarkable mission and ministry, but also about the nature of the kingdom of God and God’s care for those mistreated and in need) and 1 Corinthians 12:12-31a (where Paul writes about how all who believe [however and whoever we are] are part of the Body of Christ). The Corinthians reading focuses on unity and diversity and the Gospel highlights God’s calling, through Christ, for a kingdom of compassion, care and justice. These speak to us and our calling as Christians!

We hope also to offer a children’s activity during the service, and afterwards we will share coffee, tea and fellowship together.

All welcome, and we very much look forward to being with you this Sunday!
