Worship: The Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany - February 9, 2025, 10:30 a.m.


Peter realizes that in being near to Christ, he is in the presence of the holy. In much the same way as Isaiah did, he becomes aware of his unworthiness. But, also like Isaiah, Peter in his encounter with the holy is called to a new task – one of participating in Jesus’ mission to ‘catch people’ with the message of the Kingdom of God.

Worship - February 2: The Presentation of Our Lord, 10:30 am

Forty days after the celebration of Christmas, the Church observes the festival of the Presentation of our Lord. Since the festival falls on a Sunday this year, we are given the opportunity to reflect upon the meaning of the event in our worship. In many cultures, candles are blessed in the church on this day, remembering Simeon’s exaltation of  Jesus as ‘a light to reveal [God] to the nations.’

When Jesus stands up in the synagogue in Nazareth, he continues the tradition begun in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah – the reading of the Scripture with interpretation, which to this day remains an integral part of Jewish and Christian worship. However, Jesus’ interpretation is unique and authoritative. He identifies himself and his ministry with the promised fulfillment of God’s reign. He is the one on whom the Spirit rests, who liberates people from bondage to sin, death, and evil.

Marriage at Cana, Winifred Knights
Museum of New Zealand
In the Gospel of John, the wedding at Cana is the first 'sign' that Jesus does to reveal his glory to his disciples, so that they may believe. This story, along with the visit of the Magi and the Baptism are the three great images of the manifestation of Jesus as Lord and God during the season of Epiphany.

Worship: December 29, 2024, 10:30 a.m.

Today is the First Sunday of Christmas. On this day we have the only recorded incident from Jesus' childhood, his encounter with the teachers of the Law in the Temple. Jesus was the son of observant Jewish parents and would have been taught the story of God's people and the Law by which they were to live. On the cusp of adulthood, he shows himself familiar with God's will and in a disguised way the Son of his heavenly Father.
