Coming Up Sunday, January 6

As we begin the new year, we return to our normal Sunday worship schedule, with Sunday School at 9:15 and Worship at 10:25.  We will gather on Epiphany, January 6, the day when the church celebrates the coming of the Magi to visit the Christ child.  (In some cultures, this is the day, not December 25, when gifts are exchanged.)  I imagine there will be several familiar songs about those ancient travelers, following a star.

Continuing our Advent and Christmas sermon series, "Looking for Home: Faith in the Holiday Season," we will consider a couple of the lessons we can learn from these three wise, and likely wealthy, magi as they make their way from the East, to Herod's palace in Jerusalem, and to Bethlehem, where they find Jesus.  In "The King's Home," we will consider how they went about their search, and what we can learn from them in our searching.
