Epiphany

The season of Epiphany gives a bridge from Christmas to Lent. These days before Ash Wednesday (February 25th this year) are a time to think about how God has been made known to you in your life. When have you had a moment of knowing that God created you and loves you? The Bible gives us many examples of God at work in the world - God reaching out in often unexpected ways to get a person's attention. This Sunday we will hear the account of Jesus' baptism - when God spoke clearly about the identity of the Chosen One. I think that many of us long for such a clear pronouncement of our identity as a child of God. Often that clear sense of God and our place in God's heart comes over time and in different ways at various points in our lives. The church and the way we communicate the love of God to all is an essential part of God's communication plan. If you are looking for a clear message about the depth of God's love for you, you can find it at our church.
