John 1:29-42 | Ever had the experience of a young child beckoning you to come and see something? Often, we might not know what we might be going to look at, nor do we always know what we’re getting ourselves into! But as we follow that child, often, we’re drawn into a moment that has the potential to expand our relationship with that child. This week, as we continue in the season of Epiphany, we hear Jesus invite his first two disciples to “come and see.” Still today, that invitation to “come and see” is extended to us, summoning us to not only look AT Jesus, but to experience Christ for ourselves. So as we continue to follow after the light of Christ that has enveloped us in life, join us for worship as Jesus eagerly and lovingly invites us to come to him, dwelling with him, through Word and Sacrament.
Sunday, January 18 2026, Second Sunday of Epiphany
