This Sunday is Epiphany Sunday, the Sunday when we celebrate the 'making known' of the Christ Child to the Gentiles, or non-Jews.
 
We will hear again in Matthew 2:1-12 the old story of the Gentile Wise discovering the Christ Child and their response to the child and consider the meaning of God's gift of vulnerable love in a troubled time.
 
All this, and we'll sing, pray, share our struggles and our joys, and find companions on the journey of faith.
 
See you in church!
 
~ Rev. Susanne
