Lord, hear our prayer.

Today we celebrate Epiphany! The feast of Epiphany concludes the Christmas season with a celebration of God’s glory, revealed in the person of Jesus Christ, born among us and immersed in the messiness, complexity and commonness of humanity. We pray that we will recognize God’s divine presence and activity in the world for the redemption and healing of humankind, and for the nurturing of our lives to better emulate Jesus. (ELCA Prayer Ventures)

Today is the 12th and final day of Christmas, but the joy of Christ remains!

Faith United is a community of imperfect, beloved people who are committed to growing in love for God and one another through worship, fellowship, study, and service. We'd love to have you join us!

"Take a deep breath. Quiet your heart. Listen to the 2019 Churchwide Assembly sing Lord Jesus, You Shall Be My Song and rest assured that you don’t journey alone. I fear in the dark and the doubt of my journey; but courage will come with the sound of your steps by my side. And with all of the family you saved by your love, ... we'll sing to your dawn at the end of your journey." [Video recorded August 2019]

Grant us peace, O Lord.

A prayer for all of us on this election day. God's peace.

On this election day, Bishop Dunlop of the Lower Susquehanna Synod offers a short devotion for our country and world. "The faithful love of the Lord never ends, God's mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; God’s mercies begin afresh each morning." Lamentations 3:22-24

Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; ’tis grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. -"Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound (ELW 779)

Good morning, and happy Sunday! We gather for worship today both in-person (at 9:00 and 10:30am), and online (at 9:00am or later--our video stays up!). We would love to have you join us for one of these opportunities to gather in Christ's name. Today is Reformation Sunday--a big day in the life of the church. Come find out why! We are observing a host of safety measures for in-person worship, including mask-wearing, social distancing, and modified worship practices. There is no need to sign up for worship. If you have questions about attending, please feel free to contact our office.

These words from the apostle Paul were written while he was in prison, unsure of the future. They remind us that whatever uncertainty we face, we have joy in the grace that God pours out for us--grace that knows no bounds, and that rescues us from ourselves. You are never beyond the power of God's grace.

Happy Clergy Appreciation Month!
