3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time January 25, 2026

Isaiah 8: The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, as they rejoice before you as at the harvest, as people make merry when dividing spoils.
1 Corinthians 1: I urge you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same purpose.
Matthew 4: … Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

I was regretting the past
And fearing the future.
Suddenly my Lord was speaking
“My name is I AM.”

He paused.  I waited
He continued,

“When you live in the past
With its mistakes and regrets,
It is hard.  I am not there.
My name is not I WAS.

“When you live in the future,
With its problems and fears,
It is hard.  I am not there.
My name is not I WILL BE.

“When you live in this moment,
It is not hard. I am here.
My name is I AM.”

I Am by Helen Mallicoat

    Dearest Community Members,

    Rosemary, even Aviana, & I have really, really so missed all of you.   We hope and pray that you are all healthy and safe.

    Should you need anything from the stores and cannot or feel hesitant about going out, please let me & Rosemary know.  People from the community have already volunteered to shop for any of you.  

     

    We will keep you posted about next Sunday.   Live stream the celebration (Mike)?  Let John present his Matthew studies?

     

    Thanks to all you members of the board who unanimously voted to take this Sunday off, even though I was looking for a loop hole. 

     

    Here is why we go to Oaxaca.  The view outside our second floor window.  A paradise of tropical flowers.

    Happy 11th Anniversary, Fred and Martha
