The church has, at times, been a source of pain rather than healing for many. “We’re Sorry” is a series of repentance, truth-telling, and a commitment to change. Each week, we will confront areas where the church has caused harm and seek the transformative power of God’s love to heal these wounds. Together, we will explore how to become the church Jesus calls us to be—a place of justice, love, and...

Though John’s baptism was one of repentance from sin, Jesus submitted to the ritual as a way of standing with us, claiming there was no limit to God’s overwhelming love. It would be a most appropriate celebration of this event by sharing corporately in an act of remembrance of baptism for the whole congregation. Know you are a beloved child of God.

In the midst of a season that celebrates joy and light, we recognize that for many, this time can be filled with grief, pain, or longing. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, the weight of life's struggles, or the ache of unfulfilled hopes,...
