Epiphany is the season which celebrates the revelation
of God in Jesus, as the one who comes as God’s salvation for
all nations, symbolized in the story of the Magi who come to worship
the infant Savior. Pray a prayer of thanksgiving for the gift of
good news and reconciliation that has come to you and to the people
you represent--a part of the rich cultural and global mosaic of
the body of Christ.

Stewardship Sunday
Today we have time to reflect on stewardship as the believer’s
joyful response to God’s action in our lives. We can all join
together in praying that we might be active and willing partners
in God’s vision for the earth, God’s vision for our
resources, and God’s vision for our responsibility to each
other as stewards. |
