2nd Sunday of Christmas

Epiphany of the Lord Sunday

“On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then opening their treasure chest, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” Matthew 2:11

You are invited to join our 10:00 a.m. Sunday morning worship service VIRTUALLY ONLY on our Facebook page. Sunday is the 2nd Sunday of Christmas and the Sunday closest to Epiphany, or the 12th Day of Christmas. The title of Jerry Hammon’s message is “God in Christ (Revealed)” (Ephesians 3:1-12). The Sacrament of Holy Communion will be celebrated, so you are invited to have a small piece of bread or cracker and some juice ready. Janet Hansen & Fran Chadwick will sing “Epiphany/Antiphony” an arrangement by Fran Chadwick. Music will be provided so that our hymns may be sung and they include “Ye Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim”, “I Come With Joy”, and “As With Gladness Men of Old.”

MINGUS VIEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

ALL ARE WELCOME

Our Sunday worship service begins at 10:00 a.m. Following the guidelines of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Book of Order, our weekly worship is planned around five major actions:

  1. Gathering around the word – a joyous time of song and greeting one another in the name of Christ, as well as preparing our hearts to receive the Word by confessing our sins.
  2. Proclaiming the word – readings from the Old & New Testaments, special music from our choir or soloists, and a sermon based on the Scripture.
  3. Responding to the word – we respond to the Good News of God’s word to us through our prayers and offerings.
  4. The sealing of the word – a benediction and blessings send us out.
  5. Bearing and following the word into the world – it is now our responsibility to take what we heard and live our lives to God’s glory.

At Mingus View, we celebrate the Sacrament of Communion on the first Sunday of every month. All are welcome to the Lord’s table. Gluten-free bread and plain water are available for those unable to eat the traditional communion food.
