Baptism of Our Lord, January 11, 2026, 8:30am Worship, Zion Lutheran Church Buffalo, Minnesota

In the waters of the Jordan, Jesus is revealed as the beloved Son of God. Through this great epiphany, Jesus fulfills all righteousness and becomes the servant of God who will bring forth justice and be a light to the nations. In the waters of baptism we too are washed by the Word, anointed by the Spirit, and named God’s beloved children. Our baptismal mission is to proclaim good news to all who are oppressed or in need of God’s healing. Children are always welcome and encouraged to be in worship. We also offer child-care during worship in Zion’s nursery, The Nesting Place. The ushers or welcome desk host are available to provide directions. Sunday School and Confirmation registration are open year-round. Please scan the QR code near the Welcome Desk to register.
