And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
St. Mark 1:9-11

Because of the uncertain weather this past Sunday, we cancelled Christian Education but held Morning Prayer and Holy Communion at their regular times. As the Holy Communion service was concluding, it started snowing outside! Due to concerns about slick roads, we sadly decided to cancel the after services lunch. It was wonderful to see so many people after having to cancel last week due to snow. Also, we truly missed all our members in places much harder hit this weekend than Kingsport!
All the food brought for lunch by Teresa, Diane, Michele, Nancy, and Rose Marie is still at the church. We decided to serve it for lunch on Thursday after Bible Study! Please come join us if you can!
Thank you Fr. Paul for leading the beautiful Holy Communion Service with incense! Fr. Paul's wonderful sermon can be found at the following link:
"The Epiphany of the Son of God in Baptism"
Thank you Fr. Paul for leading our Holy Communion service on this wet and snowy Sunday!
Please note: we forgot to announce that this past Sunday was the Sunday designated to collect funds for the Discretionary Fund. All the cash in the plate this past Sunday will go to the Discretionary Fund. To make up for the confusion, the cash in next week's plate will also go to the Discretionary Fund.
