We cannot take all of God's self-revelation in at once. So, God compassionately brings us gradually into seeing what God has done by being born one of us, living among us, and dying and rising for us.  

God is acting also to transform how we relate to Him, each other and the world.  Baptizing us into what He has done in Jesus, God has adopted us and God now empowers, encourages and enlightens us to live as His beloved sons and daughters !

We gather together here to ask God to enlighten us

     to see and know Jesus as the Son of God;

     to see and know ourselves as God’s beloved sons and daughters through Jesus; and

     to respond to God’s love for us by loving God above all else and caring for His creation. 

Please join us on God’s journey of discovery, now, in this Season of Epiphany !
