Join us this Sunday as we begin a new
series, Lessons from Lasso.
Ted Lasso, the critically acclaimed and 2021 Emmy award winner for Outstanding Comedy Series, has taken the world by storm. The title character, played by Jason Sudeikis, is an American football coach hired to manage a British soccer team, despite having no experience and little knowledge of the sport. But what he lacks in knowledge, he makes up for with his optimism, vulnerability, and kindness. This beloved series helps us remember the best parts of what it means to be human and to live in community.
Join us this January as we examine some of the “lessons from Lasso” and explore their connections to the biblical text. But, be warned: you’ll have to
bring your own biscuits!

Be a Goldfish
Mark 1:4-11
4 John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And people from the whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were going out to him, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7 He proclaimed, “The one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals. 8 I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” 9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. 11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”
