SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, January 2, 2021

Dear Friends in Christ –

The ancient Romans worshipped a pantheon of gods, Jupiter, Pluto, Apollo, Mars. Among them was Janus who was thought to keep the gate of heaven.  And so he was the god of gates and doors, beginnings and endings.        Janus was worshipped at the planting, the beginning of the harvest time, at birth and at marriage.

          He represented transition between primitive life and civilization, between the countryside and the city, peace and war, and the growing-up of young people.  He is portrayed as having a double-faced head, each face looking in an opposite direction.

          So here in January at the beginning of this new year 2022, we too find ourselves looking in opposite directions, reflecting on the past year and poised, hungry, anticipating what’s next.  

Start the New Year in purpose, in strength, in community, in faith!

See you in worship –

WORSHIP SAFETY GUIDELINES: Due to the high rate of COVID-19 community transmission, the CDC continues to recommend indoor masking in public settings for everyone. While a large portion of our congregation is vaccinated, there is a significant number of children who have not yet had the opportunity to be vaccinated, which affects the health and safety of the vulnerable and immunocompromised among us. Please continue to wear a face mask in church, even if you are fully vaccinated. Please worship from home if you are exhibiting any COVID-like symptoms, are aware of an exposure, or have been asked by a school or other institution to quarantine or isolate.
