The term epiphany
really means manifestation or revelation of God. God is revealed to us each and every weekend
through word and sacrament. During this
season of Epiphany, come and discover how God presence is made known in the
words that are spoken. Come and see how
God’s presence is made known as we share a foretaste of the feast to come. Come this weekend and discover how God’s
presence is made known through the waters of Baptism as we celebrate the
Baptism of our Lord and Savior Jesus.
This
epiphany, we are focused on Christ’s “light on the way.” This is the same light that guided the wise
astrologers to Jesus and Mary. This
light glows over the river Jordan as God beckons, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well
pleased.” In the remaining weeks of
epiphany, this light will continue to shine as Christ as he begins his earthly
ministry. On the mountain top Jesus will
be transfigured into the light on the way as God again shares with all of God’s
people, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!” Even as we move into Lent and the 40 days,
this light will not extinguish, but illumine in the shadows of this life.
Each weekend God is revealed to us
through the words of scripture and God’s holy sacraments. You are invited to this place of grace to
listen, grow, and discover God’s abiding presence. You are invited to join this
community of faith where all are welcome to celebrate the beginnings of
Christ’s ministry in His baptism. You
are invited to bring a friend to share in the foretaste of the feast to come.
Come and worship at Abiding Presence - A Place of Grace. All are Welcome!
There is a pew for
you!
Steve
