Reminder for the Epiphany of the Lord, January 8, 2023

Isaiah 60:  Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem!  Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you.

Ephesians 3:  …that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Matthew 2:  The prostrated themselves and did him homage.  Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold,  frankincense, and myrrh.

Louis Schneider of Open Windows has let us know of a possible project. 

Housing Forward has scheduled the Point-in-Time (PIT) count of the homeless in Dallas and Collin County for the night of January 26, 2023.  At this web site https://housingforwardntx.org/volunteer/, Housing Forward asks for Care Packages for the homeless. These packages will be given out when volunteers are doing their annual count in January.  If anyone would like to contribute a package or so, Carolyn Bentley, would be happy  to pick up the package for delivery on or before the 14th.  Her number is 214.789.2034.  Thanks!
