The season of epiphany continues. I know that this time is often looked at as a ‘place holder’, just time to fill between the celebration of Christmas and the season of Lent. But you know that I look at all time as extraordinary. So, let’s expect continuing revelations in this time, too, a fresh or even striking awareness that will shake us up and out of our ennui, or our impatience for the return of that which no longer is – pre-Covid normalcy. What is it that we are to do? Let’s embrace the mandate Jesus gave and underscored, Love the Lord with all your heart and soul and might (the greatest and the first) and your neighbor as yourself (the second, like the first). Jesus says everything else hinges on these two.
Invite someone to join you here or for the live stream as we consider what it means to be devoted to our God who is devoted to us!
The Souper Bowl of Caring is a youth-inspired nation-wide movement to organize communities to give locally and make a collective impact on hunger. Look for our children and youth collecting monetary donations for Sea Island Hunger Awareness Foundation in soup pots after church this Sunday to help to make sure no one goes without soup in their bowl.
WORSHIP SAFETY GUIDELINES: Wear a face mask in church, even if you are fully vaccinated. Please worship from home if you are exhibiting any COVID-like symptoms, are aware of an exposure, or have been asked by a school or other institution to quarantine or isolate.
