Epiphany: God’s Brilliant Appearance
The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. John 1:9
Epiphany, once celebrated as one of 3 great festivals-along with Easter and Pentecost, included the nativity of Jesus. Epiphany means “the light shines forth” or “made manifest.” In Greco-Roman times, it was used to describe a “public appearance” of state officials. We celebrate today that Jesus, the light of the world, God in human form, is made known and SEEN by us! The God who could not be looked upon is now visible to ALL humanity! The magi, non-Jewish spiritual seekers from other cultures saw the star and came to worship him. The light is for everyone! O come let us adore Him! Blessed New Year, full of His light! Peace, Pastor Janet

Salty Servants Do you bring food to a neighbor or a friend? Do you
mow your neighbor’s lawn? Do you visit family,
friends, or neighbors at the hospital, nursing home,
or at assisted living? Do you take a friend or neigh-
bor to the doctor or for lab tests? Do you watch a
friend’s elderly parent for respite? If you have gone
above and beyond to be helpful to someone outside
the church grounds, you are a salty servant! Please
put a salty servant card in the collection plate each
week you serve, so you can be counted for our
church with the UMC.
