The Inspiration of Epiphany Arecent flight to Phoenix, Arizona to attend my

daughter's graduation from ASU, followed bymy arrival in Las Vegas, Nevada three days later tocelebrate Christmas with family and friends, gaveme a new appreciation for the image of journeying.Something about my own journey called my atten-tion to how the future before us is always unfolding.Step by step, from the ride to the airport to theboarding of the plane, and witheach airport regulation or proce-dure encountered, I wasimpressed to remember thatwhat was happening was mov-ing me to the next phase of thejourney. I was also impressed toremember that, ultimately, Iwould arrive at my destinationand fulfill the purpose andmeaning of my journey.

This moving from place toplace with purpose and meaning also gave me adeeper insight into why Epiphany is an especiallymeaningful season for individuals as well as organi-zations in transition. The journey image captured inthe story of the Magi traveling from the east, bear-ing gifts for a new born king, reminded me that inthis life we are all “on a journey.” We are journeyingin and toward God’s unfolding future.

The gospel readings in the lectionary texts forthis season of the year lift up images and stories thatspeak to journeying. They begin with the journey ofthe Magi and Jesus’s baptism and conclude with thejourney to the Mount of Transfiguration. We read ofthe three wise men following a star, bearing gifts fora new born king; of those who arrive at a weddingin time to witness a miracle; of a journey to the tem-ple for the blessing of a young Jewish boy; and of

Him, Jesus, after declaring,“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,” beginning his ministry with a journeyinto the wilderness. All of these things stir the imagination and opens for us the great gift of wonder for deep reflection. All of these things offer opportunity for growth and new life.

As we consider closely the historical accounts of the events surrounding Jesus' birth and life, theimage of journeying as a part of life also leads us to a deeper appreciation for the many epiphanies

which occurred in the firstChristmas story and beyond.And, hopefully, we gain adeeper appreciation for themany epiphanies in our ownlives. While Epiphany is cele-brated only for a brief time inour Christian year, the truth of the matter is, epiphanies are a part of our common lifeexperiences. The “revelations,”“appearances,” or “manifes-

tations” we commonly attribute to the season andmeaning of Epiphany all have one key ingredientthat we all hope, pray and live for. That is inspir-ation. Inspirations came to the learned and theunlearned, to the poor and the wealthy, to the Jew and the gentile.

As challenging as journeys and transitions canbe, it is the moments of inspiration during the ebbsof life that we find a way and a cause to do the nextbest thing. By inspiration we find a way to newvision, new life and new growth. When travel itselfseems void of enjoyment, inspiration helps us tokeep moving. When communication is strained andrelationships are frayed inspiration helps us to finda way to reconciliation. When dollars and peopleresources seem inadequate to meet the needs of theorganization, inspiration helps us to discern and

BRT needs Your voice

The push for metro-wide transit is enter-ing a critical season. As many recall, the

city of Richmond, Henrico County, andGRTC earned a $24.9 million federal grant in2014 for a bus rapid transit (BRT) line run-ning along 14 station stops between WillowLawn and Rocketts Landing. With footholdendpoints in Henrico County, the BRT is setto move across the city east to west along ourdensest corridor, not only making trips onthis route more reliable and swift, but alsoaccelerating connections wherever onemight be going via transit in the city, therebyenhancing equality of access, quality of life,environmental care, and economic develop-ment.

Yet the Pulse is only a foundation, a spinein need of further flesh and bones. One of themost exciting things presently afoot is threecomplementary studies and plans that willenable this BRT to reach its full potential as asignificant boon and reconciling gamechanger for us all. In brief, the studies are: 1)The Comprehensive Operational AnalysisStudy, re-imagining and revamping theGRTC system of routes in the city so thatthey flow more effectively and connect excel-lently with the Pulse; 2) The Broad & E.Main St. Economic Development Plan, set-ting the stage for increased economic pros-perity along the corridor, and 3) TheRichmond Regional Transit Vision Plan,providing a framework for expansion of BRTmetro-wide. Each of these studies entails acrucial public input component, in whichyour voice is needed, and the dates for theseupcoming meetings this winter and springwill be shared widely as they are announced.

In the interim, your voice is also verymuch needed with City Council members toexpress how now is the time to march for-ward with this project and not delay it, assome in the city have been seeking. CityCouncil will likely be voting on the final con-tract to construct the BRT line at its meetingon Monday, January 25, starting at 6 pm. Atthat meeting and leading up to it, it is criticalfor them to hear the broad voices of supportfor metro-wide transit and our first step inthe GRTC Pulse. For more info on how tojoin in or any of the above, please seewww.rvarapidtransit.org and www.metro-crt.org.

listen more intently to the wisdom ofGod’s Spirit and presence.

Just as the gospel readings in thelectionary texts speak to the image andimportance of the journey and its pur-pose and meaning, the epistles readings,in particular, speak to the many giftsand joy individuals bring to the journey.In these texts people of faith are encour-aged to journey with one another, honorone another, support one another, all forthe sake of the gospel of Jesus Christ.The journey images and stories of theearly years of our faith inspire us to lookto others on the journey to share theirwisdom, their understanding and gifts.All of which speak to our continual needof one another for spirit-infused inspira-tion. All of which speak to the impor-tance of every single individual’s poten-tial contribution to ministry efforts andinitiatives, as well as the fulfillment ofour Creator’s overall purpose.Ultimately, they speak to the great joy inknowing that the inspiration of epipha-nies was not, and is not, limited to anyone individual, group or class of people.Together we have so many inspirationsto share and so many gifts to offer —many of which are not tangible but nec-essary — prayer, presence, compassion,grace, hope, dreams, faith, light, loveand so much more.

The Divine One has come to every-one without distinction — an Epiphanyindeed!

May we ever be inspired to journeytogether.

As we prepare to follow Jesus throughhis Passion and his Resurrectionduring this Lenten season, you may

find that it is a time for simplifying andslowing down. Perhaps a time to even askourselves, “What is really important?” and“What keeps me from it?” Based on Jesus’teaching, the Church has prescribed threedisciplines to be practiced by those who fol-low him, which we rededicate ourselves toduring Lent: prayer, fasting and almsgiv-ing. We will look at each of these disci-plines (while admitting that we couldspend years exploring each and still havemore to learn!) through scripture, stories,prayer, music and silence. Please bring aBible and a journal. Denise Bennett is a graduate of RichmondHill’s Ruah School for Spiritual Guidance,as well as Union Presbyterian Seminary.She has served as a chaplain at theHermitage in Richmond for over ten years.Denise is also a storyteller, musician, andteacher who has led workshops andretreats for churches from Four SquareGospel to Unitarian Universalist.

Lenten Retreat

The year’s agenda

As we start the New Year let us take time to make anagenda for the year to increase our relationship to

God, self and others. To better understand God's will forus, let us take a good look at ourselves — to see what Godrequires of us and to build better relationships with othersby allowing them to see the Holy Spirit at work within us. Our eyes must be on the work of the Spirit to win the prizeGod offers each of us. Let us accept God's gift of the NewYear with thanksgiving in our heart instead of instead offocusing on uncertainties. Let us think of many newopportunities with greater commitments to live each dayas God's children rejoicing. “For it is God who works in usboth to will and to do for His good pleasure.” (Philippians2:13).A student reflected during an individual retreat: “ ...Seethe work of God when it is raining and very cold thinkingthe snow is not far behind. This was a time of renewal ofthe spirit and reenergizing the body to have a get awayfrom the busy self. After prayers in the Chapel there was avisit out in the garden to look at the various plants andtrees. With a smile my thought was: God made nature likeHe made people, different colors and shapes. Yet He looksafter all of them. This gave a good feeling. I will try to lookat nature and thank God for the joy and peace it brings.Just myself and God’s glory on the way back indoors afterwalking the Jerusalem Mile I saw a bug the same color asthe life. I smiled and thought only God could do that. Thesong ‘Nobody Greater’ came to mind. On this retreat myneeds and expectations were met away from the phone,family and friends. I received much needed peace.”

Do you have a hero? Is there someone you admire andrespect whom you try to emulate? The footsteps ourheroes leave may seem too large for us to fill and yet wecontinue to try and follow. What about the footsteps weare leaving? Are we aware that someone may be watchingus as intently as we watch another? Paul admonished theRomans to let go: “Therefore let us not judge one anotheranymore but rather resolve this not to put a stumblingblock or a cause to fall in our brother's way”. (Romans14:13).

The New Year is for improving our minds, our bodies andour spirits.

COMMUNITY WORSHIP5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.Every MondayThe community celebrates Holy Communion. Services are led by ministers of various denominations according to their traditions. We invite you to join us afterwardsfor dinner in the refectory.

PRAYING WITH THE SONGS OF TAIZÉLeader: Jim Bennett7:30 p.m. first Monday of each month Taizé worship is contemplative and meditative incharacter, using short songs, repeated again andagain in a candle lit chapel. Using just a few words,the songs express a basic reality of faith, quicklygrasped by the mind. As the words are sung over manytimes, the hope is this reality will gradually penetrateone's whole being. Meditative singing thus becomesa way of listening to God. We invite you to participate in our practice of Taizé which includes singing, prayer for MetropolitanRichmond, and a period of silence. Jim Bennett isa skilled musician and leads this time of worshipwith a variety of musical instruments.

SOAKING PRAYER SERVICEDeBorah Cannady, Leader3rd Mondays at 7:30 p.m. and 1st Thursdays at 10:00 a.m. Those struggling with illness have benefitted from being“soaked in prayer” over periods of time.

Leadership In Action

Commitment, respect, listening, tough love, caring,honest sharing, willing to risk, sense of humor and

having fun are just a few of the words that describe thekids in the Armstrong Leadership Program. As an ALPvolunteer for the past three years, I have been over-whelmed with respect for the program and for theaccomplishments of each class. Students learn a wide variety of “practical life skills”including job interviewing, resume writing and learningthe essentials of good nutrition. College preparation isalso an important element of the program. Behavior modification is dealt with openly with role-playing activities covering conflict resolution. Class pre-sentations are informal, allowing for a lot of honest dis-cussion and interaction. The kids are encouraged toshare their feelings which they do in a lively, but

respectful, environment. Classesmeet after school twice a week atRichmond Hill or at ArmstrongHigh School in a designated“ALP” classroom that provides asafe haven.

The participatory nature of the program was taken to anew level this year with the election of class leaders;president, vice-president, secretary, and a public rela-tions representative, allowing the students to have agreater input to class material and activities. In additionto class work outside trips are taken to broaden theirexperiences. Trips may include concerts, performances,shopping excursions, and visits to businesses, indus-tries, and colleges.With the full schedule these kids have with school work,activities, athletics, not to mention their part time jobs, Icontinue to be amazed at the volunteer service activities,they perform. I don't know where they find the timeand energy to give so much!As a volunteer I feel blessed and rewarded to have theopportunity to share some of their stories and to be ableto give some encouragement and support to the pro-gram. The Program is very fortunate to have the presentprogram directors Yvette Davis Rajput and MarvinRoane for their commitment to the program and formaking each student feel loved and important.
