What a wonderful account of Mark’s story of the baptism of Jesus by John that made clear the sacrament of baptism to me (Mary Howe). The music was beautiful. Sue Werst and Michael , what beautiful music. The message of hope in a dark world was hopeful. And it was hopeful.!
(Jana). Loved the picture of the Parsonage out the window in the storm. Loved it! We tried homemade Canadian gingerbread with our wine. Scrumptious! (Hope God doesn’t mind). So Good to listen to you read the Scripture Kathy Skoglund. Yay Gino!
