"God Revealed in a Skeptical World!"  

In the Incarnation, God literally is enfleshed among us.  In the nativity, we give thanks for the gift of the Christ and join in proclaiming a new creation, a new work that God has begun.  In the Epiphany our eyes are opened to that new creation breaking into reality all around us, within us.   And in the next breath, the next day, we are confronted all over again with horrifying acts of violence and hatred, in a world to characterized by want, fear, suffering and conflict.  The truth is, the Epiphany of God struggles within a world we know all to well, even to the point of becoming skeptical, despairing that "the way things are" cannot truly change.

BUT ... the promise of Christ is that "a new creation" is not only possible, but the true intent and will of God for the world and everything in it.  Have we faith enough to lift our eyes to the horizon once more? And dare to dream the dream God dreams ... of a world healed and made whole, of the realms of nature replenished and cared for, of a human community characterized by forbearance, forgiveness and peace.

Join us for worship on Sunday - 8:30 & 11:00 am.
