Matthew 2:1-12 | Long ago, the wise men followed a star, leading them to Jesus. Today, we may not follow a literal star as we seek God, but we too are given signs and practices that direct us in faith and life. As we begin a new year, join us for worship as we seek after Christ, and as we open ourselves to God’s guiding word upon our lives.
Note: If you are joining us via our livestream, or our recorded worship, be sure to check out this list of star words. These star words are utilized during the message, encouraging worshippers to consider God’s invitation to them in the coming year. Words were distributed to those in-person randomly; choose a word as randomly as possible from the list.
