We are a church overflowing with God's love! We are passionate about our love for Jesus and our desire to turn the world upside down with radical acts of service and compassion.

Here is the scripture reading for Sunday, January 11, 2009:
The Baptism of Jesus
Mark 1:4-11
Don't miss the "Reaffirmation of Our Baptism" service - a service I look forward to every year.
Hello Anonymous - In the ritual of baptism as practiced in the United Methodist Church it is both... water is used as a sign-act or symbol of the cleansing and renewal that happens in baptism, and the fire, in my opinion, is in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. So BOTH - water and fire.
