Dear Friends in Christ,
Happy New Year! And, a Wondrous Epiphany season, too!

I greet you this way because the year 2024 is over. And, Christmas has come and gone.

But of course, neither is finished with us. The past lives in the present, and the past has consequences for our future. This is why English artist, Caryll Houselander, wrote in her 1949 book The Passion of the Infant Christ, “Christ is born in us today.” In us…

Of course, the question is, what does it mean to declare this? Is it merely a belief statement of the mind or an emotional feeling of the heart? Or is it a transformational growth experience in your portion of soul?

When you hear or say that “Christ is born in us today,” what does it mean for you? The season of Epiphany – which means manifestation, perception or insight , especially of a divine nature, – is a season for pondering this question. And for having a deep, God-moment-kind of experience!

So, when I wish for you the blessings of this season, I mean to say, “I hope you discover and experience the eternal love of Christ Jesus growing in and around you in a powerful, life-changing kind of way!”

Blessings of Epiphany,
Pastor Ed
