As I write this we are just in the middle of a January thaw. It has been quite the winter so far with snow and ice and winds. And now, a melt and warm temperatures. Tomorrow, I suppose we shall see, but likely back to more seasonal times.
At church we have just finished the Christmas and Epiphany Celebrations and now are moving in to the gospel message for every day.
This morning we look at Jesus’s call to the first disciples and their responses.
We also take some time to think about God calling us and what gifts and abilities that we bring to the church and its life.
Sometimes our talents change, sometimes we discover things we did not know we could do.
What is God calling you and me to do?
Let’s listen for God’s Voice each day.
The Service will be on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9563927372?pwd=elpkeFJkSkYwQ24rT21tRE9ucGtUUT09
