Join us for WORSHIP
Season of Epiphany January 6th- March 3rd
Epiphany means MANIFESTATION- God's presence in our life,
God's work in us and in our world. God works through us.
So, how do we manifest God's presence in the world?
By being kinder than necessary!
Be A Little Kinder Everyday!
In the season of Epiphany, we are going to practice being little Christs for the sake of the world. Last Sunday you received an index card. If you were not here, just use any card you have at home.
On one side of the card write things you’d like to do to connect with other members of LOTM. So, if you are over say 50, make an effort to get to know someone under 50 (or pick a different age number), invite a member you have not seen in church in a while to attend with you, invite a family that you don't know very well to dinner. Be creative and think outside the box.
On the other side of the card write acts of kindness directed toward people outside of the LOTM community. Or combine outside and inside and invite an non-church friend to attend a service at LOTM with you. Please hang onto your cards and we will collect them at the end of next month and compile a list of all the random acts of kindness we do as a church. We will use them during Lent for inspiration. So, have fun being kind to all people. It may become a habit! During the Season of Epiphany we will continue the work that begins at Christmas time:
When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flocks,
Then the work of Christmas begins:
To find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To feed the hungry,
To release the prisoner,
To free the nations,
To bring peace among peoples,
To make music in the heart.
