Preacher Ray shared that it is very unusual in the Christian calendar to celebrate Epiphany, the time when the Magi visited the little boy Jesus, and Baptism of the Lord, the time when the 30 year old Jesus was baptized by John, on the same Sunday.
Epiphany is 12 days after Christmas and Baptism of the Lord happens the first Sunday in the calendar year.
This year is one of those years. Ray talked about visit of the Magi in the first part of the service and then “catapulted” (Ray’s words) 3o years later to the baptismal event.
We had a great turnout considering the very cold weather and still icy roads.
Enjoy!
