Father of Heaven and Universe beyond. Lord today we humbly come before you to thank you for all the goodness that exists in a world humankind seems dedicated to polluting with sin. Please forgive us of our contributing to that sin Father, and we ask that you would help us to grow in you more and more each day you provide us. In your Son’s Heavenly Name; Amen!

Message: In Grief or Wine, Our Lord Divine!

       I want to welcome all of you to the second Sunday after Epiphany, or my thought, the second Sunday of Epiphany.
