Epiphany


Over the last few years, our family has been trying to incorporate the church calendar into our family culture. This year we added Epiphany to our celebrations. So we had a fancy meal, Ben led us in an Epiphany liturgy that focused on Christ's Kingship over all the earth, and we had a king's cake for dessert with a coin hidden inside. Abby got the slice of cake with the coin, which she gave to our church's Epiphany offering for our sister church in Russia. This is a picture of our King's cake. On Epiphany Sunday (Jan .6) Ben preached the sermon at our church and did a glorious job of showing how that great Dragon Satan has been thrown down, and how Christ reigns supremely now! All the kings of the earth will bow the knee before Him and bring Him their gifts! Amen and amen!
