This Sunday is the First Sunday after the Epiphany. It also is the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord, in which we recall that particular event in salvation history. It is one of the Sundays on which some churches traditionally administer the ordinance or sacrament of baptism or if there are no candidates for baptism, the baptized renew their baptismal vows or are otherwise reminded of their own baptism. It is a Sunday on which the Apostles’ Creed, an early creed associated with baptism, may be recited or sung as a part of the celebration.
In this Sunday’s message we unpack four texts from the New Testament that have contributed to the Christian Church’s understanding of baptism.
Readings: Isaiah 43: 1-7; Acts 8: 14-17; and Luke 3: 15-17, 21-22
Message: Turning Point

If you are new to Sundays at All Hallows, you may find these directions helpful:
-It is recommended that after reading or hearing each lesson to take time to reflect on what you read or heard during the period of silence which follows each lesson. It is also recommended that you do the same thing after reading or hearing the message.
-When you open the link to a video in a new tab, check auto-play to make sure it is in the off position. Otherwise, a second video with a different song will follow the first.
-If an ad plays when you open a link to a video in a new tab, click the refresh icon of your browser until the song appears.
-If a song begins partway through the video, click pause, move the slider to the beginning, and then click play.
-An ad may follow a song so as soon as the song is finished, close the tab.
May Sundays at All Hallows be a blessing to you.
