From the Pastor: “On Following”
This Sunday we read one of the Gospel accounts about disciples being called by Jesus. Then we will ordain and install several members as church officers. The Bible talks about followers of Jesus being called and being sent. They are both disciples (learners) and apostles (ambassadors) at the same time. And the same is true of us. Both actions are part of the dynamic of following Jesus. As we start a new year of ministry, I pray that we will remember that we are all called and sent by our baptism. ~ Rev. Magdalena I. García
De la Pastora: “Sobre el Seguir”
Este domingo leemos uno de los relatos de los Evangelios sobre el llamado que Jesús hace a los discípulos. Luego ordenaremos e instalaremos a varios miembros como oficiales de la iglesia. La Biblia nos dice que los seguidores de Jesús son llamados y enviados. Son a la vez discípulos (aprendices) y apóstoles (embajadores). Y lo mismo se aplica a nosotros. Ambas acciones son parte de la dinámica del seguir a Jesús. Al comenzar un nuevo año de ministerio, oro porque recordemos que todos y todas somos llamados y enviados por nuestro bautismo. ~ Rev. Magdalena I. García
