Join us on Epiphany Sunday, January 5 at 10 am as we complete our Heaven and Nature Sing series.

"On this last week of our series about joy, we encounter a narrative text about a fearful and vengeful ruler who has it out for the newborn “King” Jesus and takes it out on the children of the land. The cruelty of the story is hard to fathom, as is the situation at the borders of so many refugees around the world today. What’s joy got to do with it? 

The Hebrew root for “joy” used 54 times in the Hebrew scriptures–ranan (pronounced raw-nan’)–means “to shout, to cry out” and to “overcome.” Our shouting for joy trains the lungs and gives us the courage to shout aloud for the overcoming of injustice. How will we use our exuberance for the righting of wrongs for the sake of the wonders of God’s love to come upon the earth?" - Marcia McFee, Worship Design Studio
