Home Worship Becoming the People of God

Becoming the People of God

We begin the new calendar year in the season of Epiphany, a time when we focus on the revelation that Jesus is fully God and fully human, God Incarnate among us. This year, we are using the season between Epiphany and Ash Wednesday to explore becoming the people of God. Notice that we do not say “become” or “became” or “will become.” Rather, we are on a constant journey of becoming as we travel a path that we share with faithful followers in the Old and New Testaments, guided by the divine Light who forms us individually and communally into the people of God.
