Gospel: Matthew 28:16-20The eleven disciples went to Galilee,to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.Then Jesus approached and said to them,“All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father,and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”

Remembering your baptism on this Baptism of the Lord Sunday...Live streams are available each Sunday at 11:00 am on our website, app, and Vimeo at: https://vimeo.com/chippewaumcChippewaUMC.org
This week on Beyond the Sermon, Matt and Magrey reflect on Baptism of the Lord Sunday by sharing personal baptism stories and exploring why baptism is more than a single moment in time. They talk about baptism as an intergenerational promise, the role of community and instruction in the Christian tradition, and how remembering our baptism invites imagination, play, and renewal—not just formality. Along the way, they unpack the United Methodist understanding of grace, why God is the primary actor in baptism, and how dying and rising with Christ continues to shape faith across a lifetime.Reach out to Mat with any questions about YOUR baptism journey at MHotho@hydeparkumc.orgFind out more at HydeParkUMC.org/NextSteps

DateJanuary 11, 2026SynopsisIn this sermon, we dive into the disruptive power of Jesus's baptism, revealing how it offers a new imagination for how we see the world. Jesus steps into the water to redefine righteousness—it's not about maintaining purity or order, but about radical solidarity that shatters systems of control and exclusion. By claiming our first, revolutionary name as Beloved, we embody a vision in which justice flows like a river and are empowered to take a bold next step toward the healing of God's world.ReferencesScripture: Matthew 3:13–17About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

Christmas is often left after December 25th, but every day should be remembering the mystery of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. We must remember why Jesus came to us and his perfect sacrifice in death. He reminds us that through his death we are constantly washed clean of our sins.
This week, we begin our Going Deeper series on Baptism of the Lord Sunday. We reflect on baptism not as a rigid belief or practice, but as an enduring symbol of belovedness, affirmation, and purpose. Together, we explore how our vision, mission, and values shape the way we show up for one another—so that our community might be more just, whole, and compassionate.

Sermon from The Rev. Laurie Wurm on January 11, 2026
Today, we start a new sermon series on Stewardship. We often associate stewardship with money alone, but there is much more involved. Today, on the Baptism of the Lord Sunday, we will examine how our baptism is an outward and visible sign of an inward and invisible grace that calls us to be good stewards of everything we have, because we are claimed, called, and loved by God. Thank you again for joining us in worship. For more information about our congregation, please visit our website at milfordhillsumc.org.

Baptism of the Lord SundaySermon Series: Finding Balance for our Chaotic Lives Sermon: Balance from Water Scripture: Mark 1:4-13As we move from the celebration of Christmas into the beginning of Jesus' public ministry, Baptism of the Lord Sunday invites us to the waters of renewal and identity. In a world that often feels overwhelming and unsteady, baptism reminds us where our truest balance begins—not in what we do, but in who we are.In the sermon “Balance from Water,” we will reflect on Jesus' baptism in the Jordan and the powerful moment when heaven opens, the Spirit descends, and Jesus is named God's beloved Son. Before Jesus teaches, heals, or serves, he is grounded in love and called good. That same promise meets us in the waters of baptism.As we begin the series Finding Balance for Our Chaotic Lives, this Sunday invites us to remember that balance is not about perfection or control, but about returning—again and again—to the grace that claims us, names us, and sends us forward.Worship Schedule 8:45am: Contemporary Service10am: Sunday School11am: Traditional Service

Friends of the Rosary,Today, December 26th, one day after the joyful celebration of the nativity of Jesus, is the feast of St. Stephen, the first martyr and deacon. Above all things, even life itself, we love Christ the Lord, as St. Stephen showed us.As we read in the Acts of the Apostles today (6:8-10; 7:54-59), when he, thrown out of the city, was about to be stoned, Stephen, "filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up intently to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God."St. Stephen showed perfect conformity to Christ. He said, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit; do not hold this sin against them."Merry Christmas!(Until the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord Sunday, January 11, 2026, marking the conclusion of the Christmas season and the beginning of Jesus' public ministry).Ave MariaCome, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

When God writes "Beloved" on our hearts, it transforms how we see ourselves and each other. Like a child proudly writing their name, like friends recognizing each other's baby pictures, like communities holding space for both joy and sorrow—we're called to live as if we actually believe we're beloved, and to create spaces where others can discover they are too.

What might baptism have meant for Jesus and what might it mean for us today? On the Baptism of the Lord Sunday, Christopher Mack plunges into waters of chaos and upheaval to hear baptism as an invitation to be transformed into the person, who by God's grace, we are called into becoming…for God, ourselves, and one another. [Isaiah 43:1-2; Luke 3:21-22] Reflection What wisdom have you gained from participating in a community moving through fear and upheaval together? How can we reorient ourselves around that which is life-giving, for our flourishing, inviting us into mutuality and interdependent beloved community? If you feel you've lost sight of who you're becoming in Christ, how can you listen for the voice calling you beloved this week?
Matt and Zach discuss the importance of Baptism of the Lord Sunday and ways to meaningfully incorporate baptism into church life. They emphasize the significance of remembering one's baptism and the theological understanding of baptism as a one-time sacramental act in the United Methodist tradition. The pastors share ideas for helping congregants engage with baptism more regularly, such as using water for remembrance rituals, discussing baptismal vows quarterly, and making baptismal fonts more accessible. They also note the challenge of addressing requests for rebaptism while maintaining doctrinal integrity.
