The Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord is sometimes called Little
Christmas, because on this day we celebrate Jesus’ Epiphany, or
in other words, the “Manifestation” or “Showing” the truth of
His Messiah-ship and His Divinity to the whole world, Gentile
and Jew alike. We are all heirs to the Kingdom of Christ, and the
Kings from the Orient, or the “Magi” represent the Gentiles, the
non-Jews, who accept Jesus as the Savior. Our hymns sing of
this, as well as the hymns we sing today. Also, in certain coun-
tries, this is the day on which gifts are exchanged, a symbol of
the gifts brought to Jesus by the “Wise Men”. So we may say, “A
Happy and Holy Little Christmas to all!

A Family Perspective
Today’s gospel tells us “all Jerusa-
lem” was upset because “King Herod
was deeply troubled.” A similar rip-
ple effect happens in families; one
person’s negative attitude can affect the whole family. If
you want a peaceful and joyful home, it must start with
you. Be peaceful and joyful!
Mark your calendar with these upcoming events:
Jan. 21 - Coffee and Conversation - 12:00PM
Jan. 28 - Monthly Movie - 1:00pm
World Marriage Day Celebration ~ February 9 at 2:30 pm at
