Happy Epiphany!
This is the day (Jan. 6) that Christmastide ends (12 days long), and Epiphany is celebrated, a day that focuses on the Wisemen, the Magi, arriving to the celebrated manger scene. Matt. 2:1-11 is the one reference we have to this mysterious scene where the first set of Outsiders arrive at the Holy scene, with the shepherds, animals, Mary, and Joseph huddled around the newborn child.
We at First Presbyterian Church welcome all strangers, outsiders, people who may have been branded by others in society as different. Our model for welcoming those who are marginalized in society is none other than the Christ who sat with not only the rich and powerful, but those who were deemed outsiders to the powerful rulers of his day.
Happy Epiphany!
Come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord!
Peace,
Pastor Brett
