Last Thursday night we had an Eve of Epiphany Service. The Epiphany service celebrates the arrival of the Three Wise Men (Caspar, Balthasar, and Melchior) who came to honor Jesus after he was born. After a few volunteers valiantly portrayed the three kings, the front doors to the church were chalked with "20+C+M+B+17."
It was a cold evening with an impending Friday snowstorm, but many parishioners braved the weather to attend. We were thrilled to have members of First Presbyterian Church join us, including an excited young boy who volunteered to mark the front door.
After the service, we went downstairs for a dinner of chili, cornbread and salad. The dessert, an Epiphany cake, held 5 surprises that each represented a different blessing for the coming year: a jewel, a pig, a quarter, a rock and beans.
Thank you to everyone who attended and who cooked!
