Welcome to Epiphany Sunday—an opportunity for us to journey with the Magi as they seek out this “newborn king.” What epiphanies—illuminations, revelations—might we encounter as we open ourselves to the wonders, challenges, and mysteries of this sacred pilgrimage? What transformation might begin to unfold as we find ourselves encountering Love’s Presence, embodied in this fragile yet luminous holy infant—the Christ child?

Come… come and see!

For Those Who Have Far to Travel

A Blessing for Epiphany by Jan Richardson

This beautiful Epiphany blessing invites us to reflect on the journey of faith—step by step, guided by wonder, intuition, and trust rather than certainty. As we follow the star before us, we are reminded that each choice shapes the path and that the gifts we carry are uniquely our own. Read the full blessing here.
