BRRRR......

It is very cold in Eston this morning, -31 according to the thermometer on the garage and that is with no wind. Oh My. I heard on the news that the warm spot in Saskatchewan was -25. Imagine. Well here at the church, the coffee is cooking, the heat is on and it is nice and cozy so come and join us for our service at 10:30.

Today we are going to read the story from the writer we call Matthew of the Magi. Have you ever jumped to a conclusion? I can hear each of us saying, all the time unfortunately. We all do it. Well I think that is what the Magi did in our story when we hear of them going to Jerusalem looking for the new king. They assumed he would be in a palace, of course. Where else would a king be born. Well, we are going to unpack that a little this morning and see where we end up.

There is no Sunday school today, but it starts back up next Sunday. Also just to let you know, we are looking for drivers for pick ups on Sunday morning so if you can help there, sign up on the calendar at the back of the church. Also, don't forget the food bank. You can drop off any unopened non perishable items with a good expiry date any time or you can bring them any Sunday and put them in our food bank basket at the back of the church.

So on this cold winter day remember that we are never alone, the spirit is with us and within us always and that we bring with us everywhere we go the possibility of spreading hope, peace, joy and love.
May the light of this epiphany season surround you always,
Barb
