You are what God made you to be:
created in Christ Jesus for good works,
chosen as holy and beloved,
freed to serve your neighbor.
God bless you that you may be a blessing,
in the name of the holy and life-giving Trinity.

Today we celebrate Epiphany! 🌟 The feast of Epiphany concludes the Christmas season with a celebration of God’s glory, revealed in the person of Jesus Christ, born among us and immersed in the messiness, complexity and commonness of humanity.
Tender God, comfort those who grieve, be a companion to all who are lonely, tend those who are sick or struggling with depression, and gather all people in your healing embrace.
This is the first night of Hanukkah. This eight-day “festival of lights” commemorates the rededication of the Holy Temple in the second century BCE and the continual commitments to healing, wholeness, hope, and joy.
