Dearly beloved,

We are in the midst of reflecting on the Apostle’s Creed. I thank Dorothy Kafalas for preaching & Mary Beth Commisso for leading worship last week while I was away. They lifted up God as Creator and as Father, sharing a message on the first article of the Creed.

More than just a statement of faith, we are reminded not just what it means to be believe in this Triune God, but how God has chosen to relate to us in our daily lives. This week is all about Jesus in which the Creed seems to only recite a bare-bones kind of summary of Jesus’ life. Yet, each line tells us more than just what happened, but calls us to see the purpose of Jesus’ life and death among us.
What does it mean for us to say that God became human through Mary and the Holy Spirit?
Why is the significance of mentioning Pontius Pilate?
What does it tell us about Jesus and God’s love for us revealed through the cross?
And – what does it mean for us to state that this is what we believe about God?
How is this belief reflected in our day to day lives?

Join us for worship this Sunday as we not only proclaim our faith, but we make a commitment to live into this faith!

peace in Christ, Pastor Jen
