Worship This Sunday

Here is what is going on this Sunday

Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-6
Matthew 2:1-12

Sermon Title: Broken Lights and Wise Men

Are you still celebrating Christmas? As I walk through my neighborhood, I see a lot of Christmas trees out at the curb. Some people take down their decorations early because they just like to get them put away. For others, the celebration of Christmas is cut short by the realities of life. However, Christmas is not over. This Sunday, we rejoice in the final Sunday of the Church’s celebration of Christmas, The Epiphany of the Lord.

The celebration of Epiphany is actually older than Christmas. It originally focused on the nativity, incarnation and Baptism of Christ. In the modern church, it mostly focuses on the coming of the three wise men or magi who brought gifts to the Christ child. The story of the wise men is fairly well known, but there is more to it than most of us know. I believe that in it, is a word of hope that holds true even when the joy of Christmas is interrupted by the harsh realities of life.

I hope you will join us as we celebrate one last day of Christmas together.

peace,
