Our text for this morning is really a little bridge. It connects two major events in Jesus’ ministry. Just before our text we have the baptism of Jesus. That was the day Jesus was introduced to the world as the Messiah, the Christ. A new King was anointed! Immediately after our text, this newly anointed King begins his public ministry. He announces the nearness of the Kingdom of God: The kingdom of God has come near! (Mark 1:14)
On January 24, the congregation is invited to attend an open forum/voter’s meeting in the sanctuary at 12:15 pm. There will be detailed information presented on the elevator/building project.

Lunch will be served prior at 11:45 am downstairs. Pizza, sides and beverages will be provided. To attend the lunch, please sign up online or contact the church office. Social distancing guidelines will be followed.

To say that ministry of the Means of Grace for the first half of 2020 was different than other years would be an understatement, to say the least. It would not go too far to say that the first half of this year has been truly unique in the history of Lord of Love. Permit a short recap.
