Enter to worship and depart to serve
during Epiphany 2012
Epiphany means “manifestation” or “striking appearance.”
On the 12th night of Christmas (January 6), the manifestation of God in Christ Jesus was made known to the magi as they made their way to the manager and met the Babe of Bethlehem.
Following a star through desert nights, winding through the narrow streets of Jerusalem, into the palace of the evil King Herod and on to the town of Bethlehem, God ultimately became manifest to the magi not in the light of a star, but in the Light of the World, Jesus born of Mary.
As Christians, we enter into a season of discovery and truth in January and February. Join us on our journey of discovery. The striking appearance of God will become ever more clear in your life as you follow the Light of the World, Jesus our Christ.
We can’t wait to take this trip with you! Join us for worship on Sundays at 9 or 11 a.m.
