What Gift Can we Bring? - Reverend Cindy Davidson

On the Twelfth Day of Christmas, we take inspiration from the coming of Epiphany, January 6th, which celebrates the manifestation of the divine Christ to the nations. This is symbolized by the story of the wise men who come bearing gifts. In these times, what gifts do we bring to spread light, love, righteousness and justice? What stars guide our journey?  Don't miss out on the Twelfth Night Cake with the hidden beans inside (A French Galette de Rois, or an Italian Panettone?) at our First Sunday of the month potluck  .... who among us will be crowned king or queen for the day?
