Immediately after he was baptized, Jesus went out into the wilderness. In his time in the wilderness, he was tempted, and he was in danger. What can we learn from this time before Jesus began his public ministry? Pastor Russ speaks to us from Mark 1:9-15 and helps us recognize how we can navigate the troubling times in our lives and come out prepared to witness to God's saving grace.
Join us for just under 29 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, and communion. You may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." If you would like to share with us at the table that goes beyond earthly boundaries of time, place, and structure, we ask that you prepare a piece of bread of some type and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us.
