Today we are celebrating the feast of Epiphany.  In the Spanish speaking world, this is a very important feast, in many ways even more important that Christmas itself.
Have you ever heard someone say I have had an Epiphany!  What do you think that means? 
One of the definitions according to the Oxford dictionary is a moment of sudden revelation or insight:  How is that going to be interpreted in the light of this Church Holyday? Today we look at the feast of Epiphany with new eyes, as a new revelation, or as a new insight.
Epiphany challenges us to reconsider:
• who we might think of as not worthy or not as good as us.
• who we might feel prejudice against, even if we know it is illogical.
• and to come up with ways how we, the Church, might reach out to them, invite them, include them for the sake of and through the love of Christ.
So let us start this New Year with New Ways of Inclusiveness, Openness, and Love!
Thank You to Helen Tudor for our scripture readings, Sharon Rippon for the Intercessions, Rick Boyle for leading the service and his thought provoking sermon, and José Cueto for recording the service.
