THE EPIPHANY
Sunday 4th January
St Laurence Church 10am - All Age Sung Eucharist
Great Horwood 11am Epiphany Communion
Come and join us and hear about the journey of the
Three Wise Men – what they brought and what they took away!
In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea,
wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, ‘Where is the child
who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its
rising, and have come to pay him homage….When they saw that the
star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the
house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down
and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure-chests, they
offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. (Matthew 2)
