Epiphany:

The season is now observed as a time of focusing on the mission of the church in reaching others by "showing" Jesus as the Savior of all people. It is also a time of focusing on Christian community and fellowship, especially in healing the divisions of prejudice and bigotry that we all too often create between God’s children.

20+C+B+M+12

The letters are the initials of the traditional names of the Three Magi: Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. These letters also abbreviate the Latin phrase Christus mansionem benedicat, "May Christ bless the house." The beginning and ending numbers are the year, 2012 in the example above. The crosses represent Christ.

See the Weekly Reflection to learn more about Epiphany.

"Kids In Church"

"One particular four-year old prayed, "And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets'."
