Join Tara as she explores the significance of Epiphany and the journey of the Magi.

Learn how small actions of good can light up your path in 2025. To try "Chalking the Door" at home, you can use this liturgy from Sundays and Seasons: Greeting May peace be to this house and to all who enter here. By wisdom a house is built and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. (Proverbs 24:3-4) Reading As we prepare to ask God’s blessing on this household, let us listen to the words of scripture. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being, and the life was the light of all people. The Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth. From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. (John 1:1-4, 14, 16) Inscription This inscription may be made with chalk above the entrance: 20 ☩ C + M + B ☩ 25 Write the appropriate character (left) while speaking the text (right). The magi of old, known as C Caspar, M Melchior, and B Balthasar, followed the star of God’s Son who came to dwell among us 20 two thousand 25 and twenty two years ago. ☩ Christ, bless this house, ☩ and remain with us throughout the new year. Prayer of Blessing O God, you revealed your Son to all people by the shining light of a star. We pray that you bless this home and all who live here with your gracious presence. May your love be our inspiration, your wisdom our guide, your truth our light, and your peace our benediction; through Christ our Lord. Amen. Send Tara a Text Message Support the show Rev.
