Quote of the Week

Lonely Forest
"The will of God will not take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us."
Billy Graham
Children's Moments 010520
Play it again, Mr. Tom.
What happens when we make and then break a 'Resolution'? The Asian people call it 'karma', the Middle Eastern people say 'it is the will of Allah', the French people accept that because 'c'est la vid', and the Spanish people are resigned to 'lo que será, será'. But, a person with character will Keep a New Year's Resolution. This Sunday, Mr. Tom will explain how children can develop their characters to keep resolutions. If children can keep resolutions, so can we!

The Dangers that Epiphany Reveals

Lessons from the Magi on being simultaneously threatened and “overwhelmed by joy.”
Magi Kings
For liturgical calendar–watchers and church history enthusiasts, Epiphany ranks as the third most important event of the church year, right after Easter and Pentecost. It was one thing for Israel’s King to be born among Jewish shepherds and angels. Quite another to have him revealed as the King of the Gentiles too. Epiphany means revelation, and with the revelation of Jesus to the Magi, God’s plan to save his chosen people turns out to be a plan to save the whole world.
