…  a worship series for Epiphany …

Epiphany – the season that dawns when we celebrate the Magi’s recognition of Jesus, and takes us to the beginnings of Lent – is a time to consider what we know, and how we know it. It is a season of curiosity and revelation, of exploring and discovering, of letting our questions take center stage and seeing where they guide us. 

This Epiphany, we’ll spend time with What Do You Know? by sisters Aracelis Girmay and Ariana Fields, a beautiful meditation on the answers that arise when Love asks the title question of a farmer, a seafarer, a well, a rock, a forest, goats, honeybees, fruit bats, and more. The inspiration for the book comes from Sharon Olds’ poem about her children, “Looking at Them Asleep,” which ends, “When love comes to me and says what do you know, I say: This girl, this boy.”

Friends, what might we say as individuals, as a congregation, when Love comes with questions for us?  What is the unique truth we know, born of our own rootedness, connectedness, and experience? Let’s spend this season exploring these questions together.

Peace, Erika
