THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD

Today our church celebrates the Epiphany of the Lord. We recall the visit of the wise men to Jesus. They set out to find the Light of Jesus, the King, so that they would be able to offer their gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. We still seek the Light of Jesus. We seek to follow him in word and deed. May we offer our gift of self to the Lord in wor-ship and action. May God’s grace grow in us each and every day.

LA EPIFANIA DEL SENOR

Hoy, celebramos la Epifanía del Señor. Hacemos un recuento de esa visita de los reyes magos a Jesús. Ellos salieron a buscar la Luz del Señor Jesús, el

Rey, para poderle ofrecer sus ofrendas de Oro, Incienso y Mirra. Todavía nosotros estamos buscando la Luz del Se-ñor Jesús. Nos guiamos a seguirlo buscando en sus pala-bras y obras. Que ojala podremos entregarnos del todo al Señor su nuestras acciones y adoraciones. Que la gracia de Dios cresca en cada uno de nosotros todos los días.

Thank You - Gracias

HAPPY NEW YEAR! * * * * * FELIZ AÑO NUEVO!

A NEW YEAR A NEW BEGINNING

God made your year a happy one. Not by shielding you from all sorrow and pain, but by strengthening you to bear it if it

comes. Not by making your path easy, but by making you sturdy enough to tread any path. Not by taking hardships from you, but by taking all cowardice and fear from your heart as you meet hardships. Not by granting you unbroken sunshine, but by keeping your face bright even in the shadows. Not by making your life always pleasant, but by showing you where man and his cause need you most and by making you zealous to be there and to help. Not by keeping you from battle, but by bringing you off every field more than conqueror through Christ “who loves you.”
