What better way to celebrate the beginning of a new Program Year than by diving deep into the very first words of the Gospel of John. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God..."
As we begin another new Program Year (and celebrate all of our ministries and programs that will be coming back in full swing after a summer hiatus) we will look once more to the promises of John 1 as we seek to discern all that God has in store for us in the coming year.
It is going to be a great time to worship together! I hope you can join us for Kick Off Sunday!
Yours in the Journey, Rev. Brian

John 1:1-14 -- The Word Became Flesh
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.
