LECTIO DIVINA - PHILIPPIANS 4:4-7
January 20, 2019 • Sara Wolbrecht
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

EPIPHANY
January 6, 2019 • Sara Wolbrecht
As we contemplate the story of the Magi who visited Jesus after his birth, we begin to see that our experience of Christmas extends far beyond a one-night celebration with candles. Epiphany is a season of light, and as the light continues to grow with the changing of the seasons, we turn our hearts and minds to the practice of prayer - our series focus for this winter season.
