“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.” (Isaiah 60:1))
Welcome to worship!
Scripture Reference: Matthew 2:1-18; Ephesians 3:1-12
Epiphany is the season of the church year extending from January 6 until Ash Wednesday. The word “epiphany” means an appearance or a manifestation, especially of a Deity. The Christian Church uses the word Epiphany to celebrate the appearance of Christ to the Gentiles. When the Christ Child was presented in the temple, the aged Simeon predicted that Jesus would be “a light to lighten the Gentiles.” This prophecy received its first fulfillment in the coming of the Magi.
The Chi Rho on the large banner refers to Christ as the “Son of Righteousness”. As the sun is the source of light and life in a physical sense, so Jesus is the light and life of men spiritually. The Chi Rho is a sacred monogram formed from the first two letters of the Greek word for Christ. The banner symbolizes the spread of the Gospel to the four corners of the earth. This is appropriate because during Epiphany the church emphasizes missions and bringing the light of the gospel to those in spiritual darkness.
Our Church’s Vision Statement: Fellowship Church is called by God to grow committed disciples into disciplemakers.
