Epiphany Plan
Step 1: Advent: We have taken four weeks to prepare for the coming of Christ. First, we identified our need. Where do we have hope that this is not as good as it gets? Next, we took two steps of repentance, identifying how we cooperate with the world that is not God’s plan, and how we could take a small step to do differently. Last, we prepared to choose sides by identifying the signs of God’s priorities in our world and aligning ourselves with those signs.
Step 2: Christmas: Celebrate! Christ is God’s gift to us, a gift we receive through grace not skill or expertise. Receiving the gift of Christ means that we allow God’s agenda to set our priorities. What might change in your life because of this gift?
Step 3: Epiphany: Don’t send the gift of Christmas back! Think! Pray! What can you do to welcome Christ in any of his guises into your life in the coming year? We will have a way to offer these plans for the New Year on Sunday, Jan. 6th–Epiphany!
