January 6th
Epiphany

Dear MO:
Let me first take this opportunity to thank you, on behalf of myself and my family, for
your wonderous generosity as we celebrated the Christmas season. Each and every card; every gift; every expression, was greatly appreciated and warmly received. To each and every one, we thank you.
We are a little more than a month away from our Pew Rally on February 12 th . We all
know our responsibility; I don’t need to mention that. However, what I will both remind and give praise for is that, in the 2yrs we did not meet in person, we met all of our obligations. So, I am confident that this year, we will do the same (we can do no less).
Today is January 6th, the day which we celebrate the Epiphany. The word Epiphany
means to be manifested or revealed; so on this day, we celebrate the revealing of the Christ child to the Gentiles, represented by the Magi or the Wise men. In being revealed to the Gentiles, who at that time were considered to be outside of God’s salvation, God manifests that indeed, Jesus is the light of the world. This year there are 7 Sundays in the Season of Epiphany, each celebrating the earthly ministry of Jesus.
So, during this Season of Epiphany, let us seek God’s light in our lives. We know that
light overcomes darkness; and in each of our lives, there are still corners of darkness that remain.
Darkness of sin; darkness of human frailty and self-centeredness. Yet, the light overcomes darkness. Let this light – the Light of Christ – overcome the darkness that exists in our lives. Let this light lead you and guide you through the darkness of this world, that we may neither follow the darkness of the world, nor the darkness of our hearts; but instead follow the Light of Christ, which leads in paths of righteousness.

Sincerely,

Dr. Broadnax
