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! And yet, by accepting the invitation of that child, we’re often 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 offer to his first two disciples the invitation 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. Join us for worship as Jesus eagerly and lovingly invites us to come to him, dwelling with him, through Word and Sacrament.
