Dec. 29, 2020 Epiphany Light and Lessons

Epiphany is a celebration that comes once a year after Christmas. We know it's the day the three "kings" arrive and bring the baby Jesus precious offerings. The story is found in the gospel of Matthew. But what do you really know about the Feast of the Epiphany? Who were the Magi? What were they looking for? Why were the gifts they brought so "precious"? There are many ways to celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany - here are a few to make the occasion more meaningful...and fun! Please enjoy exploring them and plan to join us on January 6, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. on Zoom as we celebrate Epiphany!
