Epiphany Sunday

 

Today is the first Sunday in the Epiphany Season in the life of the church. Epiphany is from the Greek word which means “appearance” of “manifestation”. It’s a season after Christmas in which Christians commemorate the appearance of God in human form of His Son Jesus Christ. The light from the star which guided the Magi (Wise Men) to Christ, the promised Messiah, is traditionally associated with Epiphany. Let us this morning, arise and worship because our light is come!

Prayer Joys and Concerns

Please pray for Glen Compton, Judy Jordan, Youth who attended Chrysalis, Doug Patten, Willa Cott, and those who are sick as      well as those who are traveling. Pray for persons in the nursing                home and hospital, and unspoken requests. Pray also                             for our church, community, nation and leaders.

 

 Remember that God loves you and offers you new life through Christ!

 God’s grace is a free gift received simply through faith. Accept for

 yourself God’s forgiveness, cleansing, and life-transforming power!

 Here is a simple prayer for those who have decided to

 receive Jesus:

 Lord Jesus I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins.

 I now repent from my sins, and receive You as my Savior and Lord.

 Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control

 of my life  and make me the kind of person You want me to be.

 Amen
