Come to the Water: An Invitation to Grace and Renewal

Where do you go when your soul feels dry or weary? In Come to the Water, Rev. Mary Teague draws from Isaiah 55:1, Genesis 1:1–2, Matthew 3:13–17, and John 7:37–38 to explore God’s enduring invitation to come and receive life-giving grace. From the Spirit moving over the waters at creation to Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan, Scripture reminds us that water is where God meets us in both chaos and renewal. This message invites us to remember that baptism is not just a moment in the past, but a living promise—calling us again and again to receive God’s grace freely and to rest in our identity as God’s beloved. 👉 Where might God be inviting you to return to the waters and receive renewal instead of striving? “Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters.” — Isaiah 55:1 We are a faith community with Open Hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors—guided by Christ, in whom we live, move, and have our being.
