First Sunday of Epiphany and the Baptism of Jesus which leads the Guilford Community Church, United Church of Christ to a 10am worship service focused on the Jordan River. The sermon will consider the ritual of baptism and the promise made in Isaiah 42: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.” The Sunday school will begin a 12 week focus on children of the Holy Land and Rev Lise Sparrow will simulate what a baptism in the river might have looked like during the children’s story.
